Itll look good. Also its damn near impossible to make the G rice, of course if you tried you can. But no lots of members run that look.

Are you thinking of doing this or already have it done? Pics would help if it's already done.

I think for the most part that could look good, although I'd probably opt for color matching the lip to the car rather than painting it black.

Any OEM wheels painted gloss black is rice. JMO. Wait until you have the money for wheels or at least paint the OEM gunmetal and not straight black.

Is this in an effort to not have to pay someone to paint the grille and lip silver?

Brembos are STOCK so that's not rice. It is what it is. Our grills come black with "chrome" Infiniti log. Soooooooo....I mean....those two things are just items that the factory put together. Black diffuser and black roof is ok. I would've opted for a carbon fiber (wrap) diffuser and gloss roof, but that's really just splitting hairs. Color match the lip because black lips look unfinished...regardless how "glossy" they are. If you've got other exterior visual mods that compliment it like CF hood or CF trunk or fenders or even doors (cuz there's an orange 350 with all that) then you may be able to pull off a black lip. But based on your setup, it's just gonna look like you couldn't afford to paint it. No beuno. Black stock rims are not rice. They're played out. It's like the poor mans mod. If you're going to run stock wheels, keep them stock. If you HAVE to paint them cuz you can't afford wheels, DON'T. The 19" rays can deal with a bronze or TA them (and even then, you're stretching it cuz it's still corny but they can pull that off). The stock 18's should just remain that. Stock 18's. It gives the car a cleaner look, imo

Sounds good to me but I'd leave out the Infiniti logo.

Umm, last time I checked, our grills don't come black from factory lol. They come in all chrome...

ive seen it and it just looks like a cheap mans way to try to make a nice looking car nice. and it doesnt look good. try using cf. dont paint stock wheels and play around with the black too much keep it classy. chroming your rims might look really good tho. diffusers can look shitty sometimes just save up for a bumper if thats an option if not keep it the same it looks fine

Using CF won't make it any better lol. CF hood and trunk on a stock looking G will be worse then painting a few things black. Going with the most expensive parts doesn't make a car look good either imo.
