). I'm planning on getting a DSLR soon so I'll have to get some nicer shots of my car since all I mostly have is iPhone pics. I have the Sport Muffler so I adjusted the tips further out to see the "INFINITI" on the tops of the tips. My friend did the wrap (3M 1080 matte black) with knifeless tape and for someone who never did a wrap this big there is only a little 1/4 inch spot that isn't perfect, but you'll never find it unless you look really close and it's almost where the wrap goes underneath the edge of the bumper.

Wheels look great. Keep the coils and add a spacer to the rear it looks like from that picture.

Thanks 
They are on the way back :too cool:
Thank you. I'm happy they don't look 4x4 hence I'm not forced to install coilovers
Thank you sir
Thanks. No need for coilovers as this is about the same ride height in the TL in the last few months I had it. Another factor leading toy decision to return is the fact that the rear coilovers do not come as one piece from BC. I'd have to swap over top hats and all that junk. Not worth the trouble especially since the car is just a daily driver. The wheels sit flush as is so I don't think I need any spacers. If anything I'll run 255/35 instead of 245/35 next time around.

That looks great! What size wheel are you on? Can we see some more angles?
The only reason I don't buy rims anymore is because I hate lowered cars. Been there done that hate all the hassle of it. What wheels are those? I have the Graphite Q and those would look perfect. I may have to bite lol.

Those really look great on the Moonlight White. You went with 20s instead of 19s like stock? And how is the ride without the run flats since everyone seems to say it gets a whole lot better.

Thanks man. I had ordered a set of 19 and as soon as I took them out of the box they looked really small. I ended up returning these and getting the 20s. The ride is about the same on the run flats as I'm running a 35 series instead of 40. One thing I do notice is increased road feel in the steering. Almost feels like the wheels aren't balanced but it is a result of running a lower profile tire. I have a slight vibration at 80 mph so I ordered some hub rings. I'm getting an alignment soon as well. If I still have a little vibration I'll get the wheels road force balanced. On a positive note the traditional tires are not as harsh over bumps as the run flats. I have no regrets with the switch thus far.

Not much to update. I hit 25k miles yesterday and August marked a year of ownership. Overall still happy with my purchase. I've added the oem sport mufflers which gives the car that signature g37 growl. My avg mpg since ownership is 30.3. I'll be going on a road trip to FL in the winter so I'm probably gonna reset the meter then just to see how well it does on the trip.
