Looking good.
Consider getting a body kit or getting all the black trim painted to match. That will really give the car a whole different look. The rims will stand out more.

The drop looks good, rims are not for my taste.

Looks pretty damn good.

I quickly touched up the second shot real quick...It's soo damn washed out in your pics (dial down your e/v).

If i were you I wouldn't paint them. It's be a waste of money in my opinion as your ride already looks sick. I'd for sure get a body kit before I wasted time painting the trim the color of the body.

Definitely get them painted or get the (Nismo ) Aero Kit through the group buy thread.

I got the Front Aero Bumper and painted my sides and rear. If you paint them it is very hard to get the paint to match 100% but even the Infiniti (Nismo ) Aero Kit does not match 100%. No post factory painting is going to match absolutely 100% especially on white, but all of these options will look better than the stock black/grey trim. I just want you to be aware of these slight draw backs, but well worth it.

I also got the stock mud guards and painted the black/grey part on them as well to give it more of a kit look.

here are some pics:

Infiniti wont do the painting will they? I take it that you would have to take it to a body shop that will be able to "match" the color. I have the CB Blue and worried about having the painted color be too off.

did the install myself. did the painting with the help of a friend who has good experience mixing paint and painting cars. I gave him like $250 for his help and his minimal travel expenses to come 100miles to where I live, but he is an old friend.

you can probably get the sides and rear painted to match for around $350-500 but $400 would be a fair price.

The front bumper install is freakin' cake anyone can do it unless you r so useless you can't remove a bolt.

it depends on the dealership--- we have a body shop that does all the work for us. any REPUTABLE shop can color match perfectly to your vehicle but don't forget if you do have an older vehicle the color will be slightly faded
