just for the car back about an hour ago. Here's some bad pics.






The headlights came out way too dark I'm not too happy about that. The spoiler is still not here so I'm rolling with no spoiler for a while.

Yeah those headlights are really bugging me. I know the light shines through fine but it looks way too illegal. I wanted a light tint not blacked out. I'm gonna bring it up on Saturday since I gotta go back to get the car claybar'd and polished. I'm gonna ask if there's a way to lighten up the tint.

I Appreciate honest feedback more than anything. the reason why I didn't go stock is because there's just way too many G coupes on the road. I'm sure I'm gonna tone it down a little as time goes on. CF doesn't look nice forever so once the finish starts to fade I'm gonna have the hood and trunk painted IP.

Shoulda got your headlight housing painted black not tinted.heres a few I did and I believe Trevor is still the only g37 with black housing in Hawaii. Sorry I don't have a clearer pic of the 37





And carbon lasts jus as Lon as your paint job if u get it clear coated. My old carbon ts hood is on another members car and still no yellowing or greening

That's exactly the shade I wanted. Just a light smoked tint, not fully blacked out. He said to bring it back on Saturday because the paint on the lights is not fully cured yet and he needs to buff them. I'm hoping the buffing clear them up a bit somehow.

And yes the hood and trunk were clearcoated. He did say it will never fade but I always wonder.

The headlight isn't smoked, its painted on the housing inside the light. Way better then tinting the outside imo
