Also changed license plate lights from a cheap version of WLED-NW6 to WLED-HP5 (5 High Power SMD LEDs). Hella bright!

Actually on my other car I took out the instrument cluster and replaced the lights with red LEDs since they were mostly burned out anyway. Is this fairly easy to do on a G?
since your an 06 g35 your cluster has LED's..however all of them will need to be soldered. meaning solder off old and replace with new. Sexyrob can do them if your wanting a full interior conversion. he just finished my 04 which is a pretty big bitch.

I personally think your guy doing the wire tuck for the so called price he is stating doesnt know what he is getting himself into unfortunately.....he doesnt understand that you have to extend alot of wires...meaning solder extende and re-solder all new wires. then you have to wrap every single different wiring location and hide it behind. remove the so called 20 brackets attached to the wiring harness.......

has he done a G before? or is he basing this off of Low riders and the lexus he just did?? just curious. Trucks are alot easier with alot more room to work with. also is he meaning just main harness?? or tucking headlight wiring harnesses, main battery cable??? you need to make sure he grounds off the original grounds back to a good spot on your engine as well

Yeah I'm just doing it now because I have a lot of driving to do in the next few days and I'm still waiting on that rear camber kit.

Whenever I install that which will probably be next weekend, Ill get one final allignment to seal it all

Lifetime Allignment feels good



And yes I did the fronts first lol

^ Not if he doesn't want to scrape the hell out of his bumper and sides like you do, Drama. He's at the perfect daily-driver height...I should know, he left them at the same settings that I had them at on mine.

You already know this, but it looks BALLER Phi! Really offsets the wheels perfectly now. Nice job man.
