I've been searching around, but can't quite find anything on the boards. Yes, this might attract some flaming/haters, but it's definitely not ricey.

Lakeshore Slate Coupe with:

Gloss Black Grill with Chrome Mt. Fuji
Gloss Black OEM 18 Seven Spoke with Chrome Center Cap
Gel or Gloss Black Diffuser
Debadged and only Mt. Fuji on the trunk

Question: Should I go purchase a replica rear diffuser (gel black), or just have a body shop prep and paint my OEM apron/diffuser?

Possibility: Black Vinyl Roof covering?

I've contemplated painting my grill black too, but I'm not sure how it would look with LS, its a pretty "classy" color. If you do end up painting your grill, diffuser and wheels black then I would also suggest blacking out your headlights.

 

I think it would look alright, play around with your options though. I like the black roof idea as well as the black rear diffuser. As for the wheels, I would say save up and go for something a little nicer. But you can always try it out to see how you like it.

As for getting a different rear diffuser, if you go for one I would suggest going for the one on this car, (I hope the owner doesn't mind me using this picture).




This is the nismo diffuser i believe. Gives the car a clean but slightly more aggressive look

 

Could just go with the Fiberglass, gel-black diffuser: https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...iber-glas.html

Sounds like, if I do do this, it would be considerable to paint headlight + taillight overlays? Sounds too dark now.

 

I personally wouldn't do taillight overlays or paint the headlights (unless you get the housings painted black chrome to match the stock grill). I rarely find a LS G with taillight overlays that looks good, I find it dulls out the car a bit, if you know what i mean.

 

Actually, I could also just do a Vinyl overlay on the stock apron/diffuser, just in case I would like them taken off.

PrincessJen seems to have most of the stuff already. Vinyl roof, flat black grill.

Might just do a photoshop later.
