Wow props on doing GTR style painted tails. I agree with most people that its pretty easy to remove the tails but whatever works for you. A thicker line between the two lights would be nice too but overall it looks really good.

good job on the painting itself...but I just think the G's lights look so good as they are. GTR lights are for GTR's.

In this photo I can see something is not okay man. Your lines are not matching both tail lights rounds. Look close it seems it's going off the way.

The same with the lines on the right light. You should have just painted the whole light, and leave it as a G37, and not as a GTR.

The rear spoiler looks nice though.

Yea, i realized that after, as i mentioned, its kind of difficult to tape up. Looks better in person though. It depends on the angle you look at it as well.

I didnt want to smoke the whole tail because cops would have a field day with me, as they did when I had my TL. With the GTR, I'm still somewhat legal because its not blocking any light. Plus it breaks it up a little, esp on a dark colored car. I'm starting to get tired of the murdered out black look (no offense to anyone)

absolutely to each their own, but just darkening the tails is FAR from a murdered out car.
