Talking New Owner Here

New owner but not a new member.


I picked up an Athens Blue G35 Coupe with sports and prem a few weeks ago. So I thought I'd post something.


Painted the grille black and clear corners:




Unusual debadge and painted the valence black:


Painted the calipers black because the corrosion looked so ugly! Those are Kics caliber 24 lugs.




The last thing to paint is the head light housing and I'm done with painting. Here's a photoshop pic:




Spacers and a drop will be added in at some point.

I lol'd when I read your post..haha. The wheels are so tucked in and the first pic really shows it well. I'm thinking about 15/20mm setup for now. I orginially wanted 20/25 but H&R stud replacement spacers only go up to 20mm.

I'm on the fence about painting the headlight housing totally black like in the edited pic. It just looks weird, no? Maybe I'll leave some chrome and paint some parts black. It's easier to explain what I wanna paint with an edited pic..lol

Nice G and I love the color!

A friend of mine painted his G's headlight housing the same color as the rest of the car. It was the same color blue as yours. Actually looked really nice.

the headlights look wheel in the photoshop but once you actually paint them they'll look good trust me. also the oem 19"s would look great in gunmetal with your car color
