Good looking G. Nice clean stance, nothing crazy.
I like lip spoilers, but this ones a bit large and doesnt flow too well with the curvy lines, but I dont like the little chrome strip that it covers up either. Maybe if it were a bit smaller...

No bodykit. I think they all ruin the style of the car. Too extreme.
It's the pictures. It flows better in person and has it's similarities to the OEM one (which was too expensive).

Do you keep two key fobs with you? The new alarm and the ikey?

^Yes, I have to. Because of the sensor in the remote w/ the push button start. Kind of a hassle w/ the new set up for a couple things.
1. If you want to roll the windows down w/ car off, hit/hold unlock with factory fob and it rolls the windows down but also unlocks the car. To lock the car, you have to lock it with the factory fob again.
2. To use remote start, hit the button but then when you open the door, the car will shut off. Then you have to apply brake, hit the push start to start up. Infiniti is not very "remote start" friendly that's for sure.

Lookin good man, I remember checking out this thread when you first got it, but never posted. Great progress...so far these are ALL mods I'd be all over, and probably in that sequence too.
How much do the head/tail lights set you back? They look almost smoked from the inside!?

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. It's amazing what a few simple things can do to change a car. Just have to be careful what you choose.
The headlights were actually really cheap. They are only vinyl overlays GTR style. A little soap, heat gun and some careful applying and you're all set. I chose to go this route as oppose to paint because if I sell the car or get sick of the mods, I can peal it right off.

Since I've pretty much done everything I said I would in my initial post, I'm wondering if I should go performance. Decisions decisions.....I hear an intake isn't much more than stock since we have 2 intakes and they are both very good for OEM.
The OEM exhaust note I love so if I touched that, it would be an exhaust (like Tanabe) that would be a bit throatier without eliminating that VQ growl.

^Ya know, I was thinkin the same thing and knew someone would probably comment on that. I have to fix the settings on my stupid camera.
I have a Canon SD1300 IS...anyone know how to mess w/ the settings to make the pics look less "wide/bubbly"

I like! The only thing I have against it is that it makes the exhaust tips look sunk in.

^Thanks! 19's are OK but I'm not a huge fan of tons of spokes. Mine come on the AWD models. 
I'm thinking of these 2 wheels. Leaning more towards the Forgestar F14's.
What is everyone's thoughts? Want to stay with a silver look. No gunmetal or black.
Forgestar F14'2
Vossen CV2

Forgestars look a little too close to your stock rims. I prefer the "mesh" type of look of the Vossens. Plus there is a tiny lip on the Vossens. Adds up to a cleaner looking wheel imho.
Either way your car looks great. The G coupe is on my 'list to drive'.

Back on topic...
Only reason I was leaning toward to Forgestar (other than the design) was because they come in 19's where the Vossens min size is 20". With Chicago roads and this being my main car, I didnt want to have to deal with any probs.
