Hey, I was just curious... does anyone ever drive around your gate? It looks like it might be easy to drive around to the left, and then drive back onto the driveway.

It costs only $400 to add the Sport wheels to the Journey package. When they're resold, the 18" wheels will most likely bring in at least $400 more than the 17's. So it's probably a good move to upgrade, even if you're going straight to aftermarkets. (Unless you want to keep the 17's as winter beaters, or something).

I've often wondered that myself. If the reason is to make it easier to clean, than I can kind of see the reason. I've also never understood why some people take the Infiniti badging off and put Skyline badging on. I know that our cars are Skylines in Japan, but I still don't get it. To each their own though.

Just do make the car look different and cleaner.

also - if you look at the badges for what they are - a cheap piece of plastic taped to your car - it makes sense to take them off.

Phase One: Debadge (I N F I N I T I G35)
Phase Two: Tint (This weekend)
Phase Three: Black Out (Tail lights)
Phase Four: Dub's 20" (Black rims w/ chrome lip)
phase one and three are going to ruin the look of your car.

Thanks everyone..... I debadge it because i like the black on black Knight Rider look thats just me.

As for the house its my parent house down in Acton California its a custom home that my Dad designed for himself. And the reason why there is no grass or gate around is because thats my Dad's Phase two and Three. His Phase four and Five is a INFINITI pool and Tennis/basketball court

I live in South Orange County where the beaches are Hot and the girls are Sexy

OH yeah to answer the questioon why did i get the tire package if i'm getting aftermarket rims? The only reason why i got them was because it came in the lot like that BUt its a good thing i got them cause i got the tire pkg for $400 and i can trade them in for $500 got quoted that price on Monday. Asumming i trade them in within less then 600 miles

wow, very nice. can't wait to see it with the tint. MN legal limit for tint is 50%, pretty dumb. I guess I could've done it darker, but I'd rather not my wife have to deal with being pulled over since it's her car (although i've put more miles on it than she has )
