Picture of Installed Journey Lip

I finally installed the lip this weekend. I love it. It makes the biggest difference in the side profile which I need to get a picture of.

Good job Chris.... looks great. I agree, this is still one of my favorite mods.
(Although I tell them that I love them all equally)

Love the ramps, btw.

Looks great. I honestly have not seen a single one in my area. Makes the front end look a lot better, a lot fuller

Thanks everyone.

It is pretty bad when I am only one day away from my first mod and I am already Googling ideas for more.

I think, however, the next one is going to be the basic tint increase. I also really want a specific roof wing, but I don't see where they make anything but the Stillen. I am not sure yet if I want that much "flare" on my car yet. I want a very basic, flat, not very wide wing (which isn't much of a "wing" if it is flat). I have seen them for the older G's but not the 08's.

Does anyone know of all the OEM mods you can do? I like the idea of stuff that is made specifically for your car and paint matched perfectly by the factory.

You are off to a good start
In regards to your question, you can get the OE floating spoiler or deck spoiler, switch out your regular side sills for sport side sills, or change your grille to the midnight black grille. Aside from that, I don't think there is much else that you can do in terms of OE changes.
The 2010 G37 sedans have a bunch of OE changes such as new grille, front and rear fascias but they will not be color matched if you have an IP as they discontinued the IP in '08

Chris, you could also install illuminated kick plates if your car doesn't already have them. They're an Infiniti accessory and they're easy to install... Plug and Play.

Other than the Stillen roof spoiler, the only other one I've seen is the Ravspec, which is a little less "wingish" and is a little bit flatter.

Looks great. It looks a lot like the OEM lips for the Gen 1's.

I bought the lip from my local Infiniti dealer (Taylor Infiniti in Augusta, GA). He is selling it for $250 (plus tax). Pretty good, seeing how other places are selling for upwards of $400.

Anyone have pics of these mods: "floating spoiler or deck spoiler, switch out your regular side sills for sport side sills" or the Ravspec?

I don't understand why the price of the lip varies so much with Infiniti dealers. My local dealership then sell them for just under $300, I plan on getting one at some point for myself as well they look great.

Thought I would post up a few picks on the floating spoiler for you to take a look at..

I just got a paint chip from a rock on the main front bumper. I am ticked. I wonder if it is like windshield/rock damages that I can get insurance to pay for with no deductible.
