Sweet!... was there any progress made on your old car?

I was wondering how you were gonna get your wheels off to powdercoating. Some reason I thought you had some wheels to borrow, but your method works pretty good too.

I messaged him on JSS, but he didn't get back to me. How long did it take for him to do the grill? I need him or Cesar to do the grill/rear lip spoiler/back mt fuji symbol. Wanna show me how to take out the grill?

dropped off friday, got it thursday. grill is a bit more work than the g35 but pretty easy. we dont really use instructions, we just sat there and unbolted/popped everything that looked connected til it came out. should be fun remembering how it goes back together lol. but ya its easy, maybe took a hour going slow to get it off.

wheels are done, got them friday. rear springs and sways are done. had issues getting front strut apart last night so we're trying one more idea tonight. if not, taking it to infiniti to swap springs and should reinstall everything in a couple hours tuesday night. no spacers for now. picking up wider tires in a few minutes.

i promise ill make a build thread as soon as i get the car done. its just still in progress...

so after giving up last night, got the front struts apart tonight w00t. then realized i need a 2nd spring compressor or 1 designed for the outside at least. so hopefully i get that tomorrow and i can finish the front springs/sways. then all thats left is the light install whenever they arrive. oh ya, got the tires mounted today - nitto invos.

How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking? Seems like you're making some good progress, can't wait to see the car.
