spacers, gold doesn't look horrible since your car is IP but its up to you if you think the gloss black will look better for you


never really a fan of the overlays on the lights (unless their actually painted) but it looks somewhat okay on your car

good start so far

Wow, I would have never thought gold OEM 18's would actually look good. And you pulled it pretty nicely, I think. I'd keep the gold, I actually do like them. Funny thing tho, I was trying to persuade another friend of mine to not paint his 18's on his IP gold... but now that I've seen yours, I think he should do it as well.

I would definitely get some spacers to push your wheels out a bit so it would be somewhat flush. I like the lip on your front bumper too.

Things that I think you could change would be the tail overlays and the ironing board wing. Wingless looks better, in my eyes.

But in the end, its your car!

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.

+1 on the gloss black would match. I got the same lip non-painted, looks good don't really even need to paint it.

putting on lips without painting just makes it look unfinished, just color match it and that problem will be fixed

+1.

All the mods together give the whole car a budget minded modded Honda civic-ish look.

Take off ALL the emblems.

Remove the tint on the tails.

Paint the lip or OEM lip or 06 sport bumper

Get a drop.

Sell the 18's for OEM 19's or better rims depending on your budget.

Start from there.

wow calvin... ur good !! yea i bought the car with the skyline badging already on the rear ... no one has ever noticed that .... i decided to leave it being that it would be a hassle (IP coupe will show the marks even after removed)... and to be honest 95% of ppl dont know what a "GT350 or 350GT" is anyway lol.....i kinda like the ads lol they give the car some character....and i thought about painting the grille and lip but i dont wanna look like everyone else .....thanks for the honesty !
