Hello, this is my first post here, and my first Infiniti

I will post photos later, but I right now I have a 2008 G35xs in pearl white, I recently got 18" all black wheels, and I am considering:

Painting the roof black (or putting on a black vinyl)

Painting the calipers red or yellow

Tinting the windows fairly heavily

I already have a small spoiler (I am not sure if that comes standard on the S models), so what are your opinions on these additions to the appearance, tell me if they'd look tacky, or cool, or overdone. Any info you have on these I'd like to hear.

 

I personally would not like black wheels on a white car. I also do not like multi color paint jobs (like painting the roof black), so that would also be a no go for me personally. Post pics of your car and then people may give you a little more feedback.

 

As far as the wheels go, it will be better once we see them before giving an opinion. Are they 100% black or chrome lipped...etc.
There are lots of white G's with black vinyl overlays on the roof. I like the look. I wouldn't paint the roof black though.
I wouldn't paint the brake calipers unless they are similar to the Akebono BBK. It also depends on the 18" wheels you have and how they would look together.
Tint it for sure.

 

i think the roof would look neat. i personally don't like all black wheels. you just lose them in the fender and the blend with the tire. you might as well just get steel wheels from a junkyard.

 

Fumanchu's IP is an excellent example of what to do with yours..........

Congrats on the car, and welcome. First, I agree, the black vinyl overlay on the roof is an excellent idea, and it will go well with tinted windows, since your car is white, it'll look good. I wouldn't personally paint the calipers, 'cause that screams rice. I would, however, get a BBK, if your budget allows of course. Besides this, paint the rear "diffuser" and get yourself a front bumper lip.

post pics.

 

Here are the pics of the car

 

I wouldn't do a bright color on the calipers.

 

Congrats on the new ride, welcome to the forum!
Hate to say it but not a fan of the wheels. in your first picture the wheels seem to get lost in the tire and fender, can't see the pattern of the wheel.
Of your listed mods, I would go for the roof overlay and stick to black on the caliper color, unless you go BBK in which you could probably expand your color choioces.

 

I like the rims a lot. The calipers would look better black unless a BBK IMO.
The vinyl roof would look good to I think. All depends on what ur lookin for.

 

]I'd only paint the stock calipers black or silver. Here's my black calipers w/ a logo decal applied~

 

^ That's how you do it. Don't try to make them appear to be something they are not. Nice job!
Any other colour on them would scream words no one really wants to hear.

 

All right I'll probably just keep the calipers the same color then, they look good enough right now.

and to drivethefive, that was a bad picture because the lighting didn't help out very much. The wheels usually look more defined more often then not.

For those who have painted/vinyled their roof black, how much did it cost for you?
