Had mine for 4-5 months now, had to add washers to the metal U shape frame piece cause the pipes would touch & rattle. Not sure if its just mine but one side seems to be shorter. As in I can mount the tips further out on one side where the other tip at the same position would not have any material to hang onto.

Sooo... I'm gonna come across as a huge *******, but...
I see nothing unique at all. No thought to the above setup. It's a collection of the cheapest parts -- Knock off wheels, knock off lug nuts, knock off diffuser, knock off exhaust, cheesy *** sticker on the dash.
Modifying cars is what we do. Not everyone has the same taste - but I have a feeling this isn't your best effort - it's just whatever was on sale that week. You modify a car for the better, not to cheapen it. The stock Rays wheels are constructed better than what you installed. I'm guessing the stock suspension was higher quality as well, along with the Nissan engineered exhaust.
You should have saved the money from all the crap. Put that cash towards one set of authentic, classy wheels, or one thing to set yourself apart from the hoards of new guys coming in here with no imagination, just a collage of the eBay 'part of the week', you would be far better off.
Don't get me wrong, the car is "clean". But your drop isn't finished, the close up of your wheel lip shows a missing valve cap.. and that dash sticker... What happened to a gentleman's car?
To be honest, though, I would have liked to see your car lowered on stock 18's or 19's with some HKS, BC or Tein coilovers and spacers than what you posted here today. I know, I know, "it's my car and I like it." That's fine, but you posted it to get an opinion. And I can find 10 other G35's that look exactly like yours and 10 more that are 90% stock that have more personality them than this one.

For some, a project is more than just a collection of popular parts and highly regarded brand names. Something beyond the urge to impress one's peers...Or even give thought as to what they think. It's the creation of something deeply personal; an unashamed addiction to pouring one's character into otherwise sterile nuts and bolts.
A true gentleman's car does not catch the eye with bright colors or because of cheap modifications. It does not catch the eye because of obnoxious stickers. It's presence is established from the sense of class and quality that the carefully chosen enhancements come together to create.
Put that **** in your signature and smoke it.
