Painted headlights and Ionic eyelids ..

I'm honestly not sure that I've posted many pics of my G before, but since I recently did a couple appearance mods, I figured I might as well!

The shots aren't anything special because, first off, I'm not a very good photographer. The car was dirty, and I was too lazy to even drive anywhere for a nice background. I suck.

Anyway .. within the last few days, I painted my headlights satin black and popped on a set of Ionic eyelids. Along with that, I've had a Data System Illusion front lip, an Ionic grill, and clear (but tinted) sidemarkers for awhile .. I just never took any photos to post up.

Feedback is welcomed!








And here's a 'straight on' shot to get a better feel for the eyelids .. though the glare from the sun is a PITA.



And the only way I could find to get the color of the headlights to come out accurately was to put the car in the garage, close the door, block the light from all the windows .. and shoot in the dark.



Sorry that I don't have any recent shots of the rear .. but I have everything tinted back there (tail lights and third brake light) and everything debadged save for the Mount Fuji emblem. I'm waiting on a personalized license plate to arrive .. and don't want to take any pics until then.

^^ I paid $65 shipped for 'em, though I bought unpainted eyelids. You can order 'em from Ionic here: https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...d-real-cf.html

Thanks, guys! One of these days I'll actually take the car out for some pics, to somewhere a little more exciting than my driveway.

^^ I've had quite a few people say that to me. I know that most people pop the Mount Fuji badge in there .. but I wanted to try for something different. Some people don't like it, others seem to love it. But it makes me happy!

The lettering on the grill looks kind of tacky. Everything else looks good, the lip and grill are a good match.

Interesting idea on the grill lettering but not my taste.

Ionic Grill and Lids FTW!!!

Nice job on the lights too.
