I recently bought a black 2008 G35 sedan. There's some work I want to do to it but i'm not sure what the best options would be. I'm looking to get my front grille and all of the emblems painted in black the same color as the car but i'm not sure where or how to do that. I'm in so cal so if anybody knows anyone that can get that work done let me know! Thanks for all and any info

 

Search for plastidip grill and there's a billion articles on it.

 

Welcome to the G community! Can't wait to see what you do to your G. What do you plan on doing after the Grill.

 

I'm thinking i'd rather pay somebody to take care of blacking it all out for me since i've heard using plasti dip while the grille is attached is a pain in the ***.. After the grille and decals i'm thinking about putting on some new shoes just not sure what kind I wanna go with

 

Take the grill off... its easy and there's plenty of diy articles on it...the whole fun of nodding a car is doing it ur self.

Btw, here's a quick "mod"... replace all the ugly stock interior and license plate bulbs with LEDs... makes a huge difference and lots of people notice it. Its cheap and easy too.

 

Yea its super easy to take off ur grill, and the plasti dip is easy as well if u mess up just peel it off and try again :-) no need to sand, just clean it and spray. If u live anywhere near downey feel free to pm me or come to our meet and I could give u a hand

 

^ This guy will help you!!! If you don't want to destroy your grill i have one for sell so you can keep your stock one safe.

 

I like the sound of the LED lights for the interior. Is there any specific ones you'd recommend?

 

The OP wants it to match the car not look like black plastic. Get your color code of the metal plaque in your engine bay. It will be on the left side when you stand at the front of the car.

Order it online. I find mixed paints from online sources more reliable.

There are many DIY threads on doing this stuff. I did my grill Midnight syle without removing it, but carefully masking and sliping some paper behind it to keep paint out of the engine bay. (see my album). Going entirely black would be less masking. Don't forget to sand, clean, primer, clearcoat.
A professional shop should be able to do this pretty cheap I would think.

 

I'd like to see the interior LED mod photos RedBaron

 

I called around some local shops but they all charge over $450!! I'm thinking I may have to get the job done myself
