But bottom line w/o anything else? Your G looks fantastic in everyway!!

Enjoy.

Sean - thank you, i really appreciate. Window trim is next I was considering removing the lettering badges on rear and just keep the rear Infiniti logo and obviously the one on the front grille.

Don't paint the side mirrors. It will look low-budget.

Wheels look better. Trunk looks better. Whole car looks better.
Agreed. Window trim and headlights need to be blackened as well to match the rest of the car. Not a bad start, though! Keep it going. But don't do too much black (ie. some people black out the side mirrors, door handles, and tail lights, etc) otherwise it will look more like you were just trying to find excuses to paint things black.

Best of all, you can do it yourself for about $25, but I'd probably wrap over the existing gloss black door pillars too, all in a matte black wrap, if you leave them gloss and wrap the outside in matte it won't look as good. Here's the DIY if you haven't seen it.

And a couple more DIYs that may be of interest~

On a scale of 1 to 10, this isn't even a 1.
Nice to hear that Diode Dynamics finally made these "plug'n'play" on our cars. Ever with the wire splicing I had to do when I installed mine I would only rate it maybe a 2 out of 10.

Caliper's look great! Thinking of having mine redone in Candy Apple Red to match the rest of my new suspension parts. Just curious, but did you pull the calipers apart yourself and then rebuild them afterwards?

Hotchkis sways were the best bang for your buck mod that I've done to my G. Definitely a must for anyone that likes spirited driving!

I put in the clear mirrored turn signal bulbs today, it makes a pretty big difference in my opinion. I also repainted the steering wheel trim with some plasti dip.

I shared the same thought after stopping to clean off my lights the other day. And to think this was less 3 days after my last wash.

I installed my fogs without dropping the bumper. Just takes patience.
