update on some custom work done to my ride * lots of pic *
update some night pics on page 3.
after 3 weeks of patiently waiting in the shop and tons of work put into it im finally done. i decided to pull the trigger and went ahead to get a custom paint job through my buddys shop. the color use to be IP but after 2 years of driving i got sick of it and tons of rock chip and imperfections on the paint. i wanted to stick with another white color and ive always liked the white on lexus. glacier frost mica, starfire pearl were the two choices, we pull up the color code and decided to mix both together and see what we get. the color is really white compare to IP( has a creamy look to it ), also with a hint of blue/red pearl. kinda looks like a white with sky blusish.
got the itch for other mods so i pick up a tanabe exhaust, ebay signal mirrors and custom my headlight with leds, repolish all 4 of wheels looking brand new.
heres a few pics of my ride, pictures doesnt do no justice for the color, in person it looks alot better
i still have my fugi and g35s logo, just waiting for a color sand and buff so i can put it back
heres a pic that shows the difference in IP and my color
hope u guys enjoy the pics

yea occasionally i would go there n do some shopping. target n walmart ftw lol
honestly i think it'll look alot better if it isnt so big. also the sound isnt that much louder than stock, really hoping it would get louder as i put more miles on it.

Looks good, personally I prefer the IP cause this color is really white (JMO). My friend has an IS with this color and everytime I take his car, I find it too white during the day.
But you said you mixed the 2 paints up so it probably has a custom look to it in person which should look sick, especially with the red and blue pearl.
Congrats

i know i kinda regret not just sticking with that color. what got me was GFM looks kinda silverish and not white enough so thats why we mix it together. im still satisfied with the color i chose so nothing to complain about.
sucks that right after i got my rims repolish i thought about how cool it would look if my lips are paint black. if i curb or the lip gets stain somehow ill really consider doing this.
