Looking good
got a few things done..
forgot to post this but i got a front tow hook license plate bracket for cheap. works perfectly-

installed a set of tinted tails. i went back and forth on these thinking it might not look good and i didn't want to have "another g35 with tinted tails", but i actually really like the way it looks.

also finally bought an oem '03-'05 spoiler, painted it, and installed last week. i used an aerosol can mixed from automotive touchup for the color coat, and a can of spray max 2k clear for the clear coat.
lighting sucks in these 2 pics but it was carribean blue-


sanded down ready to paint-

color on-

clear on, after letting it sit overnight



test card i sprayed, matches perfectly-

pulled off the aftermarket '06-'07 style spoiler. whoever installed this thing for the previous owner thought it was a good idea to use some silicone RTV in a few spots
lets just say it took a long time to get it all off and pretty much sucked.


tinted the brake light with some vinyl while it was off the car-

taped up ready to go-

installed!



still needs to be wet sanded and buffed to get rid of some of the orange peel. overall i'm super happy with how it turned out. if anyone is wondering, i used some butyl rubber around the bolt holes to seal them off from water. and believe it or not, the holes that were drilled for the aftermarket '06-'07 spoiler matched up to this oem '03-'05 one.
and last but not least, hit the big four-oh over the weekend

Nice work...but I've literally never seen anyone swap an 06/07 wing for the ironing board
