Not feeling that entire setup. There's a number of things I'd suggest you at least look into...

1) Replace entire front bumper with Nismo or Kurookie. The bumper you have on right now (I believe the 03 non-sport? Not too familiar with sedans) is probably the ugliest on any incarnation of G35, it'd really step up your look if you just replaced it altogether.

2) If you don't want to replace your front bumper, I would at least get the lip and sideskirts color matched to your body.

3) If you really want to keep the black lip, I would make the headlights and grill be the same shade of black. As it sits right now, you have what looks to be 3 different shades/textures of black and it just doesn't work.

Again, not hating. Just being honest and hopefully offer some constructive criticism.

Agreed, my bumper happened to be not a good looking one, but it looks better with the lip, how much will the Nismo or the kareoke cost?

2) If you don't want to replace your front bumper, I would at least get the lip and sideskirts color matched to your body.

That would be an option, I was thinking about it, maybe later...

3) If you really want to keep the black lip, I would make the headlights and grill be the same shade of black. As it sits right now, you have what looks to be 3 different shades/textures of black and it just doesn't work.

The paint on the grill and headlights are the same, they look diffrent cause the headlights are inside a plastic bubble.

Some people like it others don't, I guess your one of them, but that's fine, I just wanted to bump a lil be the appearance of my car and I think I did, thanks for the "constructive criticism" I agree with you in some points, thanks.

I think it looks great! I would color match though. You can't barely see the lip or the skirt in the shade/dark. Need to be seen!!
