What method are you using? Film tint or spray? Good luck! Personally, I'm not a fan of those no matter what method, but I'm glad you're starting your first fun project! ENJOY! and good luck nohomo

Looks fine, actually. Better than I expected. It'd be interesting to see it with a black Infiniti logo too, I think. Remove lettering in my opinion. Get Projector headlights and paint the housing black too, heheh. Also the grill and you got yourself a theme :-p

black tails on red cars look good. good job.

but no no no on the blacked out headlights. i must respectively disagree with almost all of ThatOneDude's post. sorry mang!

i would peel off the G35 but leave the lettering or take it all off including emblem. to me the emblem only looks like a belly button. the g35 in the corner throws off the balance of the trunk. and the lettering under the logo gives it a nice visual weight/bottom line.

black grills on red look good tho.

and is it just a coincidence that your first three letters of your temp tag are G35???

Well, regarding blacked out headlights, I didn't mean the plastic cover. I just meant like... The inside housing. It actually looks great and does not diminish any light output. Then again, "Looks great" is purely opinion...

Here's a sample on what I did to my projector housing:







You can be the judge, I suppose.
