Pics of what I've been working on the last month

So I decided to do a little work to my G35. I do custom painting for a living, so I did pretty much everything myself. 1st I started with taking my Brembos off & repainting them....









Then I sanded the car down, rolled the fender lips, fixed all the dents & dropped it......





Pulled in the booth...



Taped up & ready to spray...

After 2nd coat of clear...





Back in the garage with my new wheels - Still got to put the mirrors, spoiler & door handles on....











Car looks like it sits a little high in the pics, but it really sits right on the tire front & rear - Its just sitting a little high b/c I just had jacked it up to put the wheels on & hadnt even backed the car out of the garage yet....

Let me know what you guys think!! I REALLY want to put some of the Top Secret mirrors on....if I could only find a set!

Also, where did you get your hood from? I like the look, and how's the fitment? Did you install rain guards on it? I've been debating to get that hood for a while now.

Its a Carbon Fiber Seibon hood - bought it on ebay from user shygirl1477 - they sell ALOT of hoods - had the cheapest price I could find - $640 shipped. Fit PERFECT - Hood was really nice quality, didnt even have any waves in it, was slick as glass & bolted on & latched on the 1st try. No rain guards, I've read about these & people say their really not needed....

No matter what I did & how much I tried to clean them I could never get tape to stick well enough that the air pressure wouldn't blow it off. They work great, doesn't affect function in any way....
