I'm still on the fense about the window trim color... when you say outside of the door handle, you mean the frame around the handle? Its all body color now (including handle) - I dont think I'd do anything other than that... what do you have in mind?...

yea the frame around, but I couldent tell if the actual handle is still chrome. so ignore that lol

I think you should keep the trim...like other said it sets off your rims...btw very nice setup

While were on the subject - I had the window trim re-painted a different color - man I should have waiting for the wheels because its too light I think... Its gunmetal but up close and in bright light it looks like a poor attempt at color match, which it is not... its suppose to be a moderate shade of gunmetal...

Also, I had them paint the mirror bezel body color and now I'm wondering if I should do it the color of the window trim

Anyway - if I'm going to change it I want to do it soon, before pics... can you guys take a look and tell me what you think of the current color... I really would like it to closer match the wheel color - but I also don’t want to keep taking these pieces off... let me know what you think please...



I'm derrruunnnkkk... and I think the bezel around (behind) the mirror should be trim color...

I used the "derrruunnnkkk" thing as an excuse

Every time I see the car from a distance it just looks odd (stone sober)...

Trunk does too though Tails don’t match... I guess its a reason to do some funny biz to the trunk... lets see how the re-re-rebadge this weekend turns out...

Anyway - mirror bezel = window trim color. No doubt.

* Window trim color is questionable - but f-it!

Wow - I just read my post... I sound like the fashion dude from Ann Nichol's show (no searchy for real name)...

anyway - I'll post pics of the new... and you wont notice the difference (the way I like it ) subtlety different

My BBK suggestion would be the Akebonos from the G37, Riverside has em in stock and economical I guess for a BBK. I'm getting those this month or next. The caliper color would look hot on yours.

so... as with everything damn thing I've tried to do lately, the Infiniti logos on the center caps are taking longer than expected (and should) I'm getting tiered of the simplest thing taking so long...

So I got fed up with waiting and slapped these on for now... I'll swap 'em when the real idea finalizes... also getting the GT Volk caps too as an alternative... even though the wheels have to come off to swap 'em

Car is still duty - please excuse
