Congrats on the car, as far as wheels, being that its winter you'll have tough time finding a good deal. I say keep a look out around spring/early summer time as that is when most people switch to after market wheels and put their OEM ones for sale.

Just thought I'd share. Last weekend, I went up to Brooklyn, NY to ONEighty Custom to have my headlights done with a matte black housing and amber delete. The chrome grille was painted just like the OEM Infiniti Midnight Grille with the center painted gloss black, and the rear chrome strip on the trunk was paintmatched Blue Slate.

Here's one picture for now.



Next on my list is the OEM Sport Bumper underbody spoiler otherwise known as the "Chin"

Reference below.













Whoops, wrong photo.

Oh yeah! Forgot about those on the trunk.

Dude, it looks much better with it color matched. I hated that chrome crap on it.

Well, it is his car. I mean look at how hard we've been trying to convince you to lower yours and it hasn't happened.

I don't like debadging cars. My mentality is its like buying a really expensive shirt, then ripping the tag off of it.

It looks cleaner, but I just dont like it.

I said the same thing when I first saw it, but after a while it grew on me.

That and it being the only good lip for my car (probably the only one), I'm stuck with little choices.

Trust me it'll look much better, I think it's that angle.

Looks good man.

180 Customs does nice work. A bit of issues with people a couple years back but think their customer service has stepped up since then. Friggin expensive on some of their designs.

Mmm..I wouldn't know, but they're awesome guys.

As far as pricing goes, yeah they're a bit pricey, but they do some quality work!

I switched it back for him a week or so ago. Funny thing, he hadn't even realized it. I should have left it.

I've never thought of it that way.....hence

Besides, the G37xS is not to common a sight. I saw one yesterday but can't remember the last time I did so.

Mmm...if my trim was blacked out, I'd be inclined to agree, since my old TSX was CGP with blacked trim and plastidipped emblems.

But since I'm keeping the chrome window trim, I think the emblems look good the way they are.

My high school teacher got one. Said she chose the xS pretty much just because it had the red leather. Oh, and she was coming from a Honda Odyssey
