Yeah, like I said, fitment on aftermarket setups for headlights for some reason just don't seem to line up all that well. But if you like it eff it and anyone who trips over it, lol

Yea I will have them double checked tomorrow. They might have not been properly installed. Also will make sure mounting plates are on point.

I got them for 580 with bodykits.com and this is my first time doing something like this (body kits etc). I'm learning though.

Who makes these gtr bumpers anyway? Most aftermarket bumpers have shitty fitment, but a good body guy should be able to correct it with shaving certain parts. Should have been done before paint, but it can still be fixed if yer very careful. Double check all the dimensions of the headlights and compare them to the stock lights. That'll tell you how far they're off.

The inven bumper (which I half like) has shitty fitment too, but there's gotta be a way to shave parts off or relocate mounting holes and still have it fit well.

Yea it is. I just found out not that long ago they sell headlights tint. That alone would of been fine for me. The reason I was so interested in these lights was because I was looking for something dark. Come to find out that was just $20 away.

Sixspeed. I agree that OEM is the best way a car should look because it's the way it's supposed to look. I've been in love with the G35 since 2005. I bought my first 03 sedan in 2010 the bought this coupe in 2013. I'm just trying something new and experimenting on a personal alternative. I'm a huge fan of the GTR so why not. This is the closest I'll get to it until I hit the lotto.

Now that I'm home I can actually reply to this properly. I'm definitely a fan of OEM+. But again, to each their own. At the end of the day, it's your car bro. If you're happy, f@ck everyone else's opinion.

I'm new to this community, but it seems to have two distinct types of modders. OEM+ type folks like myself who like clean as f@ck cars and those whose go to the other end of the spectrum in their tastes. Be true to what you like and enjoy the car man.

Dude, you don't need to hit the lotto to get a GTR lol. Be smart with your money and save. You can get find clean GTR's for 50-55K depending on year and mileage. A guy I work with has one of the MEANEST GTR's this side of an Alpha 10. Heavily modified by Top Secret with a focus on circuit racing. He's not a millionaire. Just gotta visualize your goal and achieve that ****
