Hi all - new to the site. Been on an FX forum (Infinitiscene) for a long time, but I'm looking towards forced induction and since we share a platform, thought I'd have more luck finding turbo setups on this "cousin" forum. Glad to represent the FX population and I'm quite familiar with all the systems I have worked with on the FX. A lot transfers over to the G35. Here's a list of mods and some photos - hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

I was scrolling thru all the pictures and I was thinkin to myself...damn this thing is pretty nice...until I saw your grilles

 

Oh well, can't please everybody. If anybody is going to hate, it's on the grill or the wind deflectors. I like them so it's all good. I don't want to look like all the other FXs.

 

Love your fx man. Very unique.

 

Is Laser Red a color offered on the FX? Looks good man. Definitely unique.

 

paint all the chrome and the grille black

 

Laser Red was only offered in 2003 and 2004. The dealer told me there are less than 50 in the country. I know of eight others on various forums, a couple of which are FX45s.

 

nice FX

 

def a rare color on the FX. Good job! looks great.

 

Thanks, brothas!!!

 

Didn't know LR was available on the early FXs, look really good on it!

As the other guy said, not a huge fan of billet grilles. But it actually kind of suits the FX. What do you think about powercoating it black and keaving the emblem chrome? I think that would looks stellar (as well as painting inside your headlights)

 

I like the billet with the badge - totally unique and I really don't think the pictures do it justice. Looks better in person, IMO.

I've had a few suggestions for blacking out both the upper and lower grills, plus black powdercoating on the rims, door handles and rails. I could see that looking pretty good, but I need a high quality photoshop image. I like the luxury quality of the red/chrome and I feel like blacking out would change the flavor to something that's not as much... me.

I actually do plan on customizing the headlights - but I have two choices - go for blacked out or go for body color (LR). I had been leaning towards red, but if I did start to black out other things it would make sense to go with the blacked out headlights. Either version would have clear side markers (not amber).

Here's a photo of the headlight under development - the creator is making several sets and selling them to the FX community. I plan to be on that list.

 

nice fx, didnt know they had laser red.

I got rid of all the chrome on mine and went red and black (bronze wheels) and am lovin the combo.

 

I've only seen 1 LR fx on the road. Nice

 

very nice fx
