After two months of ownership....

I finally got it going..

Focused on the exterior for now to complete it, then to start working on handling, then to performance..

2008 G37 Journey.
AIT Full Bumper Body Kit
Vinyl'ed roof
Advans Racing RZ-DF. 19 X 8.5 and 19 X 10.5.

Thanks to Lou @ Amplified Motorsports.
Purchased the Front bumper and side skirts from Lou and Swapped the Rear bumper with him.
Bought off his wheels later on as well.

Still waiting on my coilover set to be built. Purchasing it from Lou as well.
CKS Coilover.

Pictures are taken by my Nokia N900

So you swapped out the whole front bumper? How well does it fit?

fitment's not perfect. Need a lot of time to work on it. @@

I covered up the R and L vent below btw. Didn't want the rain/water to go against my injen..

The entire kit looks like the fitment is wayyyyyyyyy off??? Both ends of the skirts have gaps hanging off the car, and the front bumper has the famous AIT gap above the top of the grille.

Hot setup, but needs some serious TLC from an experienced autobody.

^^^^^^^^

I actually took pictures of only one side of the car. lol. So yeah, not both ends of the skirts have gap. The driverside's better than the passenger's side (as shown in the picture above).
The front bumper and hood area actually didnt' look wayyy off tho. Only part's bothering is the side skirts that way off.
But to get that gone, it's going to take some body work and paint again. ==

I didn't say "both sides of the car"...i said "both ends" as in the front of the skirt(front wheel well), and the rear of the skirt(rear wheel well). They both have gaps hanging off the car.
