Love the color!

Maybe a drop and some spacers would set it off nicely!

^Thanks Jesal!

35% tint all the way around is going on tomorrow. Then I found out my springs wont be in until next week so a week from Saturday they will go on. 1.9 inches all the way around. Should look good once settled..

While in the hunt for a G37, I was asking for pricing on the 370Z. One of the sales reps just followed up to ask if I ended up purchasing an Infinity

I mean, really?

VPP is good on the convertible too (though dealer participation is voluntary for the entire program)...

Definately better pics to come. These were just taken with a shitty digi.
Lol, I was thinking about that when I was scrolling through the pictures.

The first picture looked like light blue, second like dark blue, third like... well, I don't know anymore.

Only Chicago goes from 65 and sunny to 35 and snow in 24hrs. Guess it's a good time to try out the awd system in this thing.

Debadged this morning


Look at how 4x4 the G is compared to my AC

Holly crap that looks weird! I mean I know the Gs are much bigger cars than CLs, but wow, it makes the CL look like a Civic.

God I still love the look of a lowered CL-S, maybe even more than a G37!

It's weird man. Everytime I drive by my car on the street in the G, I have to look down to it. The G is so high up. Not to mention it has a big ass.

Once Saturday comes and the springs settle after a week or so, it will be a whole new ballgame and I'll post up another comparison pic.

2 weeks in and I have it debadged, tinted, and now dropped. It's pretty low in person and the fact that it may settle more kind of scares me. LOL

Synth, it was great to meet you today buddy! Car looks awesome and I hope to be at a couple meets this year w/ ya.

cleptosis- Not sure to be honest. I want to say it doesnt though.

Thanks for the other comments. Next up is a midnight black grille, taillight overlays, audio install, and possibly a custom High flow cat.

My buddy also has an outdoor video camera that suctions to the car for video/audio shoots of the exterior, wheel spin, exhaust note, etc.... I hope to have this done soon when it's a bit warmer and I am over 1,000 miles.

Thought it was suppose to rain, but ended up being beautiful out. After 1 week with the new springs. They should probably be settled now.

Damn I wish I could find a shop that would do it for that. The Nissan dealer wants an hour per corner (at $80/hr)...
