^No no, I mean I am sure taking your time and being careful you could, but it was like $30 to take it somewhere that does graphics so it was a no brainer for me. Prolly wouldnt have tried it even if I had a heat gun.
You're car is beautiful man! I love seeing guys write up these threads showing how much they've progressed their car.
On a side note, I live right next to A&L auto body shop and I'm talking to Anthony and the guys there to help me mold in my TS-P lip into my bumper. Where in IL are you located?

And to follow up... DONT do it man with the TS-P Lip... A&L is only good at molding kits such as the JP lip or Autokits X lip... Maybe even a Stillen but they are just not able to mold the TS-P... I would sell or trade immediately!!!
I kid... they are great and I am sure it will turn out great
I just didn't want a twin in the area haha. What color is your G? 
Thanks man!

My thoughts on cutting bump stops and really my build thus far:
It is another way to cut a corner in doing something right in the build that I am ultimately going for. If you have Eibachs and plan on staying on then and are happy with them but want to even out the drop a little more, I would recommend looking into this absolutely and I actually think it gave me the perfect drop for the city I live (roads are awful) in and the look I am going for.
When I got my car I really wanted to change things right away as I was not exaclty happy with how these cars look in there factory form but I knew it has potential. I spent a little more on my down payment then I wanted which left me a short on immediate cash to mod when I got the car. Because of this; I went with an Eibach drop and the Snetterton wheels as I originally wanted GT 30s but they were about $1000 more than my budget.
Yes, I should have waited! But I actually am very happy with my car as is now, but my future changes will simple result in a loss of money
and it is all because I couldnt wait.

Jared, good to see you showing off your girl! You already know that I'm a fan, so the only thing I can add is when you do end up going F/I, see if you can get a 2 for 1 special and share the wealth
In all seriousness though, if you want a change in your wheels and don't want to spend tons of cash, get them powdercoated. You have the luxury of owning a black car, so pretty much any color you choose will look great. I'm still a huge fan of bronze on the black cars. My vote is to have the wheels powdered bronze and keep the interior spokes matte and have the lips done glossy

In response to the wheels... I agree with you and I am actually going to have them painted. I just want to go a different route I think even though I am going to paint them, I will simply be putting off the inevitable in getting a very nice new set.
I honestly like my wheels though and they are surprisingly light as well: 22.? lbs front and 23.? (or 24.?) lbs rear, I know I have the exact weights somewhere that I will have to look up! I think I am going a bit different route with the paint though. I am going to have the spoke painted a graphite color and leave the lips polished. I actually messed around with this idea for a while and have a horrible chopped (atcually more like microsoft painted cause I dont have photoshop) pic of it but it at least give the idea of what they would look like.
Tell me what you think and help me make a choice (but i am pretty set):
Normal:
Little Darker:
Even Darker and I am leaning towards a color between the one above and this:
Haha it is a TWM A6 Leopard shift **** and I love it. Nice weight to it and perfect size IMO.

Jared - Great pics man! I'm glad everyone else is allllllllll over your interior the same way I was! I LOVE his dress up kit! Saw it in person at Wekfest a few months ago. The kit itself is very high quality as well. Very simple yet absolutely changed the look of the interior.
For those who are asking where he purchased(He literally just sent it to me yesterday!)
...here's the link:
Infiniti G37 Complete Trim - Manual Trans / with Navigation Manual Coupe Year 2008 to 2009
Also, I must say I actually really like the photoshops of your car w/ the ideas w/ the wheels. You could even try plasti-dipping the centers to see how you like the look for trial knowing you can take it right off.
...better be seein' you in May on our caravan braaaaaaah!!

To add to the link that I sent him, here is another pretty good option I believe for a quality kit:
2011 Infiniti G37 Wood Grain Dash Kits | Carbon Fiber
I went with the one that Lance posted but this one seems to have a quality product as well and is a little bit different depending on what you would want. I PM'ed the guy already that had originally asked about that though.
As far as the wheels... I think I would really like them too if I painted them or at least be interested in them again. I am just trying to do anything I can so I do not spend any more "real" money before I go forced induction... Hope this will do the trick till then!

) but now have 15mm H&R spacers making it +25 now on 275s. When you saw my car it was at +40 in the rear!No I had the shop that painted my body kit do all under the hood too. They prepped it all down and used clear and everything on it. No flaking at all as of yet.

OH crap..sorry about the width. I literally looked at it and must have looked right over it cuz i was like..."huh..he didn't put the width in there for his rear but he did for his front? what the heck?...guess i'll ask!" ...WHOOPS
I like this one better....(after me looking through 21 pages of pics)

Haha, what a great candid shot of what I spend most of my time doing anyways. Gotta teach the girl to do this too instead of just standing there and looking at it. She's a trooper though sitting through shows like this. I don't think I have ever seen this pic yet.
This one is before the additional drop though and before the spacers making it more flush (actually before a lot of things like window tint, exhaust, and different lugs too and maybe a few other things) but I like this shot! Thanks for sharing bud!
