the rest fit good, i have some daylight pix on my camera phone but i don't have blue tooth on my home pc. I'll upload it tomorrow morning, and it look much better on daylight.

How much they charge you for the paint and install? I see you in NY, where did you get it done? Did they paint the whole car too or just the kit and bumpers? Thanks!

I went to Brooklyn, NJ, long island and finally went to Spray City in Staten Island, it is a family owned business and one of the Son Jerry is a car enthusiast and like joining car shows, matter of fact they just won another competition in Atlantic City for best paint. you can call them and ask for Jerry and tell him Arvin(the one with blue G35) sent you.

The kit was a Pain in the A$$ to install and he charged me 1500 with paint and install. You can also check ATX in Bergenfield, they are also good but wanted 1250 just for paint.

1500... wow. I'm only being charged 900 or so and I've had all kinds of fitment issues with my kit except KurumaZ. BTW, my Impul replica sides also had to be riveted Regardless, the car looks really good Great job!

there is one place that quoted me 600 for paint but i didn't want to take a chance, plus NY is a little expensive than other state too... I wish it's that cheap here.

Looks good.

How much clearance do you have up front?

Is the lip mounted a little higher than normal?

Can you post a side profile view of the whole car?

Thanks. I have the same front and sides sitting in my living room but I just haven't had time to take my car into the shop yet.

It's still raining here in NY and i'll post some more pix when my wheels arrive this week. Yes, my front lip is a little higher than normal becease I live in NYC and my wife drives my car every now and then.

First Pic. Front Lip Side View
Second Pic. Front Lip Front View
Third Pic. Side Skirt Side view (is there any other view )

Looks good!!! Goes with the blue real nice! INGS kits just look so natural on G's. Thanks for the pics man. I sold my OEM lip recently to get ready for the installation of my Automotivemods lip and sides. I didn't get the rear. I was a little concerned with fitment and especially the clearance issues because I am VERY ****. lol. The fitment seems close enough.

I am dropped on Eibach Prokits. I was scraping that little plastic deflector as it is. I scraped my OEM lip once. I was told that the INGS one sits 2" lower and protrudes more. I am very worried now. Maybe I will have the bottom of the LIP clearbra'd?

yap, ING front lip is low. you can have it installed a little higher like i did, bottom line, you're going have to change your driving style. I didn't like the rear lip too but the package is cheap $800 total so i just got it, figured i can have it removed if i dont like it. Just make sure go to a shop that is good and can do a little fabrication, the front is very tricky coz there's really not much holding it and you need to improvise. good luck

Yeah I am taking it to the shop who did the yellow 350Z... I heard they are one of the best when it comes to paint match and kits for Z's and G's.

I got quoted 810 for the front and sides only... said it would take a week.
