I find it interesting the eyelids gained pretty much all the attention. Clearly the tail lights are the biggest point on controversy on the rear design.

I find it interesting that everyone that was so adament that the G37's exterior styling was butt ugly is now saying the car looks awesome simply by adding two pieces of plastic on the back taillights. Gives you an idea of how bad the styling really was when all along it can be fixed by something so simple. Especially since the tailights are the same as those on the concept which everyone seemed to love.

seems like ppl were just nickpicking something to complain about.....of course the concept is gonna look nicer since it has a drop and tinted windows and those blue lights...those thigns make the car look more aggressive and it was obvious those wouldn't make it to production
my gripe is the hefty weight and i wish they kept the concept's fenders...concept looks wider...also the lines on the side of the body looked more pronounced on the concept

Anyway, with regards to the white car overlays: aesthetically I like them -- but keep in mind that if you cover too much of the taillights, and you get rear-ended, your insurance company *may* try to deny a claim (or worse) if it can be shown that the taillights and brake light system were modified in such a way that their visibility and effectiveness was reduced as compared to the manufacturer's original design. Just a thought to keep in mind...

Or are you referring to the G37 3/4 shot on the track with a body kit, tint, new rims, a drop, fatter spoiler and debadging? all these things can and WILL be easily done when the aftermarket catches up with the car. People are doing these exact things to the oh so beautiful G35 coupe as well, or did everyone think that manufacturers release O.E. cars that look like that?
BTW, no offense to you, I think you did a great job with those chops. This is merely my take on the reactions so far on how modifications, that everyone with the mod bug does regardless if the car looks good or bad, makes the car look.

Also, I think it illustrates that subtle changes can make a big difference. Infinti did subtle changes to the concept, and you saw the reaction it got. The good news is subtle changes to make it more aggressive can also have an equally powerful reaction.

When they flattened the trunk on the production car, it seemed to loose a lot of the cohesiveness because the extremely flat rear/trunk doesn't flow well into the rest of the car, which is very rounded. The tail lights are the main transition point, and because of that, they seem to be the biggest point of contention. (this also goes back to the subtle changes can have a big impact issue)
I am not saying the eyelids are the best solution, but I just wanted to see what it would look like and I think it helps.

Rears looks like a '98 Camry (from the white thumbnail, previous page), a solid car with the most uninspired designs, last one has the front looking like a Mazda 6. How original!
Toyota you can do better than this!
Even the Lexuses look bland next to an Infiniti.
Does someone know if they will re-introduce the Q45 or a similar flagship to their current lineup?
