not a bad looking ride.
alot of members on here will give you alot of crap and be nit picky about all the little things.
ied say overall its nice but i would say the following would make you look much cleaner
1. takes the stickers off so you dont seem riced out
2. take skyline and all the other stuff off the trunk and slap a single infiniti logo on
3. put some wheel spacers on, gold does look good on the car
4. paint the grille and lip
overall it looks nice, just needs some little tweaks

very nice IP! I was contemplating (pure pressured aha) into getting mine powdercoated gold too, but I decided to go another route. Props on your gold rims, they flow well. You should considering matching your lip with the paint. Here's a few pics of mine for reference.

Itasha Coupe
18" 7 spoke (2003/2004 optional 2005+ Coupe std)
Front & Rear: 18"x8" +30mm offset
That little excerpt was taken from the Wheels and Tires section with the offset sticky at the top. Spacer size is going to determine how flush you wanna be.
On my OEM rays, which were:
19" 5 split spoke (2005+ Coupe optional)
Front: 19"x8" +30mm offset
Rear: 19"x8.5" +33mm offset
I ran 15mm F and 25mm R. After looking at that initial set up, I kind of wish I had run a 20mm or a 25mm up front instead of the 15mm. If I were you, I'd probably run either 20mm or 25mm spacers all around.
You will most likely need a fender roll in the rear if you plan on dropping your car lower.

I really like your ride dude...I'm jealous of the white especially 
The gold wheels look good IMO, if you don't like them or want to try something different check out my thread about how I did my 19s in gunmetal/smoke. I've seen black before and for some reason I think it makes the OEM wheels look cheap (just one guys opinion). Same for the smoked tailights, we did that in the mid-90s lol.
Also if you can, go for 245/40/18 on the front and 255/40 on the rear with spacers, really fills the wheel well out nicely.

Grille and lip should be color matched. If I'm seeing the pictures right, they're not painted whatsoever. SMH.
Nismo, Injen, K&N, etc. decals FTL. Why advertise what you have in your car unless you're sponsored?
If you intend to keep the OEM 18s, slap some spacers on. OEM color looks best, IMO.
Smoked tails FTL.
Might just be me, but the all the trunk emblems look a little too high. And isn't it supposed to read "350GT," not "GT350?"
Black roof and rear valence look good.
