its at the bodyshop next door. my buddy is doing it on the side so hopefully it'll be finished up next week...*fingers crossed* there was like 2 spots that looked like cracks so he had to DA them down so it was smooth.....so he is pretty much DA'n the whole bumper so it is completely smooth all the way around. and as far as the undertray i have a cardboard template cut out so i will be making some sort of extension piece out of plastic or metal.....still have to pay lowes a visit for the mesh. lol

as far as the tires, my LR was leaking around the outside bead....like 15psi in a day. so i broke it down and put bead sealer around it to keep it leak-free. AND today i installed the whiteline bushings for the lower control arms, swapped my front tires over and got another alignment! i've got the mileage written down so i can monitor the wear of the nannys and the dunlops at my camber settings.

Because the g35 doesnt need an ugly gaudy bodykit.. The nismo is a little more aggressive looking and looks very clean..

IMO it looks less aggressive if anything (when compared to a 06 bumper with lip).. and there are a few really good ones out there which add aggressiveness along with preserving the "clean" look (nismo doesn't look clean.. it just looks simple lol)

sorry but the nismo is very clean, but the larger ducts with the lip do give it a "more" aggressive look.....even the 06-07 sport bumper. the bumper should be getting sprayed within the next few days, my buddy is doing this all on the side in the bodyshop he works at so im not rushing him. this thing has needed a shyt ton of prep work to get it all smoothed out cuz it had a few crack like spots and quite a few low spots so it all has to be as smooth as possible.....cuz i aint havin no wavy azz black bumper lol

the only fitting needed is cutting out all the holes for the grill to snap into and the 4 clips up top on the rad support and the side markers. i used a drill bit to drill numerous holes and a razor blade to cut the excess. lol it fits nice and tight otherwise against the headlights and on the fender, but my grommets were stripped out so my pix had some gap, but i gots new onessssss
