Adrian I'm so jealous dude I want those IP calipers soooo bad, if you install them and you're not happy lemmi know maybe I could give u my unpainted ones for your IP ones 
Also the roof spoiler looks nice, I like it very subtle and it looks like it'll be a nice addition.
I think you're the only one to have the fender brace installed, would be nice to see what difference it makes.
Good luck with the install and enjoy it..........Don't forget to take pics

Thanks Adrian, I bet you just got even more excited about getting yours on ASAP lol
Honestly, I wasn't too nuts about the shape and design in relation to the line and design of our sedans. I felt like it was too "rigid" and not as sleek and curvy as our cars our with respect to body design. And what was really annoying was after washing the car id have to spend more time blasting high pressure air underneath the spoiler to get out the excess water or else it would streak down your rear window while driving.
I think even though the Stillen spoiler is bigger, it has a better contour to our sedans with respect to design. Where the the ravspec spoiler seems to be a better fit to the 1st gen sedan.

I did order the Stillen and fitment was not very good, also took it to my painter and he warned my this would be a hassle to paint and would not guarantee the work. Luckily, I was able to get a refund for it from Stillen.

Cool stuff man, i wish if i can get those BBK, but i need a valve body upgrade done by GTM, but anyways, are you going to install those clipers on stock 18" wheels? Because i think you'll need 15mm spacers, but keep us updated when you install those brakes.
Btw, do you need to change the front and rear dust shields for the clipers to fit? or only the fronts? I hate cutting stuff, i like to have everything as it is.
And where did you get them from? And how much do they cost?

I agree with you on the cutting thing Q8, AFAIK you usually need to cut only the front dust shields but I think you can replace your stock shields with a pair for the G37s.
That's what I'll do when I get my BBK. (one day...)
Adrian, your car's looking sick. Wheels look great.
Keep up the good work bro.

FYI... It's actually the rear dust shields that either need to be trimmed or replaced. The fronts don't need any modifications at all.
Mike @ thepowdercoater.com already has the stencile for the Akebono logo, so he can powder coat the logo on in any color you want!! He does great work and is VERY reasonable... I'd recommend his service to anyone!

I have 20" Volk GT-30 wheels, so fitment won't be an issue. Although, my stock 18's (with 20 mm spacers) did just barely clear the Akebono's up front when I test fitted them.
See my note above regarding the dust shields... it's only the rears that need to be cut or changed. It's actually much easier to cut them then change them, since the rear hibs actually need to be removed to swap out the dust shields, so it's kind of a PITA!
FYI... I got the G37 dust shields from Rick @ Riverside Infiniti.

Thanks Adrian, i'll order the VB after 2 weeks from now, and i'll write a review about, as for the BBK i'm planing to order the clipers from USA since they're more than $1000 cheaper than the stealership here in Kuwait, but i'll get the rotors from here, because the shipping price for the rotors alone might be more than $600.
I won't have enough cash to order new rims and the BBK, so i'll get Project Kics 20mm spacer for both front and rear wheels and install the BBK, later i'll save some money for the rims and my car should be completed, or maybe i'll get S/C before the rims, but BBK is the next item in line for my car, and btw why did you chose Hawk pads over Project Mu? And do you need spacers for front and rear wheels to clear the Akebono?
