hey im doing some upgrades to my g35 right now and i hope you can give me some ideas, im looking for new headlight and tail light overlays to go with my new setup. i have a 2007 black g35 coupe and im getting the stock rims painted black ( by the way how do you think that would look? powder coated black) im looking mostly for



and



and




do you think that black rims and those overlays would go well with what i have planned? id really appreciate your opinion.

 

I have an 05 got both. My OEM Rays are powder coated just pick them up today. And have Bats overlays, but I'm not going to use the headlights just the tails. I'm gonna paint my headlights black and do Demon Eyez.

 

BTW the overlays you have pics of I think are for 03-05 you have different headlights and different taillights.

 

the wheels look fresh....they remind me of the new gt-r wheels, but a little smaller!!

 

I agree with MJs idea. The bat overlays in the rear only. I think the headlight overlays look kinda weird (just my opinion). But I do like your idea for the powder coating of the stock wheels, I think that will look very nice.

DO IT DO IT!

 

i really want to do this idea, should i powder coat the rims or get black to match the car? im thinking long term savings because where i live in NYC the curbs are broken and easy to scratch even the most careful of parkers. so id like to have touchup paint for them so i dont have to pay someone to repair it anytime.i heard with poder coating you cant fix it yourself really cuz of what its made of? true or false?

 

You can't really fix powder coating as when it comes off there is a thin layer gone from the wheel.

It is however a lot tougher than paint and holds up better against brake dust and other road grime.

 

Get the lighter overlays for the tailights. It looks much better. The wheels would look good.

 

what do you mean by lighter overlays? i have an idea of what ones you mean but can some1 give me a pic or 2 for an example. so powder coat or reg paint? im not kidding when i say its easy to f'up your rims here, i got my rims repaired and day 1 they got a little road rash >=[

 

^^^ I know what you mean, im from staten island. Anyway Bat has a option of a lighter or darker overlays for the tailights. The lighter ones look better bcus it still shows a bit of red of the tailights.

The dark ones just look cheap to me and reminds of those impala's not a skyline or anything.

 

I have this done to my car, Overlays on Headlights and taillights and my OEM 18's are Powder coated.

Its a pretty sick combo..i say go for it

 

has anyone repainted their stock rims? any color anything. same with overlays lets see them =p

 

also how do you instal overlays?

 

U can get a tint shop to install the overlays for u.

 

dont powder coat the 18's they have cracking issues, just paint them
