Finished vinyl wrapping the whole car a few months back but never took any pics of it. The car was washed 2 days ago and still looks clean so I decided to take some quick pics. I went with the 3M satin black gold dust vinyl. It looks nice but depending on lighting, the gold can shimmer and make the car look like a dark brown.
Looks like Ima have to change the color of the wheels though. It looks too gray at times
Here are a few pics. Some in the shade and some in the sun.

They are an almost exact copy of the F14’s. These are Curva Concepts C300 wheels. I had them powdercoated to be hyper silver, but they still look too gray for me. Im gonna end up changing the color again eventually. It needs more pop.

One owner 2004 G35 Coupe 6MT
I just picked up those same plugs too, since they were cheaper than the platinum ones.

My clock started acting up. It would slowly creep ahead, so every few days I would have to rewind it a few minutes to keep it accurate. I swapped it out with another assembly I got from someone else. I wasnt sure if the clock could be replaced separately, so I just replaced the whole assembly. Hopefully this one is good. I’ll know after a few days I guess.

If anyone wants my old assembly just pay for shipping and I’ll send it over. Or if youre local in the LA area,
just come pick it up. Keep in mind the clock runs fast. Everything else works perfectly though and the glass is clean with no scratches or markings.

a new layer of dust on it.
