Have been on the edge with debadging the i n f i n i t i for a while. Had a nice warm day and I decided to go for it. Glad I did, because it looks so clean. OEM spoiler + debadge completely changes the attitude of the rear.

Being laid off wouldn't be so bad if the weather were better. I pretty much got stalled on my 3000gt project, but it led me to be able to sort through a ton of parts I have and get a list so I can get them sold. It took pretty much 2 6 hour days to get sorted, but at least I got something done whilst it rained.
After I got the grass mowed and some lunch in me I went back to work on my hood. Working on my side skirts now while the resin sets, then we'll go from there. Hoping to have it all one color within 2 weeks but it depends on how the rear quarters go.

Glad the weather has warmed up. Have to to brakes because a pad got stuck and ate the rotor. Remember to clean your brake hardware quarterly! And you can neve use too much lube.

Quarantine… more like Carantine 😂. Let’s just say I spent a lot more than I thought I would on my G. Time and money… I just got this IPL bumper from Z1 and installed it the other day and I couldn’t be happier. It just really changes the look. I also installed the Admin Tuning intakes and currently Im working on a remote tune with him! So I’m super excited to get that dialed in. Just installed the hotchkis sway bars earlier today and gave my car a nice wash.

Oh wow... the light bar in those aftermarket headlights compliments the chrome trim in the IPL bumper perfectly. I didn't expect that, because by themselves they can both be a little much, and yet together it looks great. Go figure.

I agree! I deleted the chrome on everything and I was debating on wrapping the chrome trim. I surprisingly don’t mind and it actually looks really good!

Another quarantine project.... seats. I got 4 sport seats for $60. 2 tan, 2 black. One of the black ones has a blown airbag. My goal is to restore hopefully 2 black and have a nice set of sport seats for my car. Already started taking the leather off so I can refoam the seat as needed. Not sure what I'm going to do with the leather yet. New leather from Infiniti is like $500 per seat for the back, and you can't buy the lower leather without the cushion. I also contacted a few of those companies who make aftermarket upholstery and offered to send in the leather covers from these seats so they can use it for R&D and offer a product for G owners. So maybe something will come of that.
Should have taken a pic of them all lined up before I took them apart. It's nuts how much stuff is inside of these seats. My s2000 seats were so much easier to work on lol,

Oh, that's a good idea. I was planning on using the leather cover from the seat in the last pic, stitching it back together (it blows at the seam perfectly) and using it on the driver seat. Because that seat back is actually in nearly perfect shape. Both black seat bottoms are pretty worn, so i was considering buying a new one.. but the tan ones are actually not bad. I have no idea how well the dye would match though.
What dye did you use? did it hold up to wear well?

Installed this today, got tired of dealing with my plastic torn shroud. Had to first drill out some broken rusted bolts that were there from before i got the car. I was glad to get those off so i could stop sighing everytime i look at them lol...
