New to the forums, own a 2008 g35 base. In the shop right now being painted jet black, shines dark red in the sun. Figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and get a new body kit while I'm paying for the paint work. Told the guy to hold off on the front/rear bumpers and side skirts as I will be selling the stock ones.
1) Should I leave the paint on them? (stock infiniti black) or tell him to sand them down to open up my potential buyers? Blacks popular as it is, and keep in mind he probably will ask for extra if I want them sanded (now he's doing prep work on a car and a half essentially)

2) Out of the following body kits which would you pick and why? (looks aerodynamic etc?)
Small price difference but I don't really care. The elite msrp is higher, but they're both on 'sale' for about the same price. All that looks different to me is the front bumper. Im not too sure which looks I like more. What looks like it has better air flow? They are both Duraflex brand, heard really good things about them. Open to recommendations but not planning on spending more than a grand.

this is the duraflex ELITE front bumper (to my knowledge the only difference in the two kits) keep in mind my car is being painted black with a very slight red shine, not noticeable at all unless its bright out, so the black on the bumper probably won't stand out nearly as much as the one showing.



this is the duraflex TS1 front bumper



and here is the rest of the kit, same for both so won't post twice for your sake

not getting the spoiler, it is available in the 5 piece kit and I don't like it at all.



3) Im from San Diego CA, do you guys know of any shops or mass warehouses anywhere down here? Whatever I choose to purchase, probably on eBay, I will drive out and pick up myself. Dont mind the 100 miles there and back as I'm carless atm. Anywhere that might have what I'm looking for and is just off the map as far as the internet goes?
thanks in advance!

 

I would get none. It's too tacky, flashy, screams out ricer. Seriously i haven't seen a body kit that works in favor with the car.

 

Just get a lip

 

Appreciate the input but tbh I don't really care if anyone thinks its a rice rocket because I've spent thousands on multiple performance/visual updates and a premium sound system. In other words I'm not fronting something I don't have, which leads me to believe I have nothing to be defined as a ricer for. I see what you mean about the tacky/flashiness though, more in the elite too.

 

anybody else? the more opinions the better

 

G37 sport conversion FTW .. Do not like the Elite , the other looks ok but I would like to see an actual pic not a photoshop . Also wheels can improve a kits appearance , what are you on ?

 

I like the ts1 front but it doesn't match the rest of the kit ..... if u must get that kit at least the elite matches the rest of it lol

 

Aggressive wheels with the kit would help it out a lot if your dead set on getting it.

 

lol dear lord those kits look terrible

 

The first kit is just plain ugly. The second one is okay but I think you are limiting yourself to better kits out there. If these two are your favorite, just pick the one that will put a smile on your face everyday. If you have the courage, please post pics of whatever you end up with.

 

If I only had those 2 to choose between I would never pick the duraflex ELITE front bumper. To many sharp lines for the G styling.
The TS1 is far more compatible looking.
Unfortunately the other components have similarities to the duraflex ELITE front bumper. They don't fit the G35 IMO.

Well I can only spend like 700. Lol don't worry ill post plenty pics. Not sure why I'd need courage, it is a work of art, you guys say it doesnt match well thay exactly what I wanted to hear. Im MODDING in the first place to make it look different, unique. As for the wheels they are stock painted black. Windows also limo in back 50 in front.

 

Styling preferences aside, Im definitely NOT liking the fitment of that rear bumper to the quarter panel. And that's on their own demo!

 

Curious as to what you replaced in your stereo. I was under the impression that the second gen Gs were almost impossible to upgrade significantly.

 

Are these kits not the same as the 2010+ Autokits-X ?
