Blue Slate Vossen G37

Hey guys finally mounted my wheels. Too tired for the photoshoot so I just did some quick low quality snapshots to give you guys an idea of what they look like.

My goal is to put together a clean classy semi-vip look for this car. I like the smooth sleek lines of the G37 already so no crazy bodykits for me.

Mods left to do:
1. Powdercoat OEM calipers Lamborghini Giallo Halys (Yellow). I think it will make my setup pop out even more!
2. Tanabe Medalion Touring Exhaust
3. Injen Intake
4. 6k HID
5. Amber headlight delete

Going to do a photoshoot once I get my car detailed this weekend hopefully. I will post up better pictures then.

not bad, but you need 20mm spacers for the VIP. BTW, that setup wouldn't rub with the 285/30/20, so consider that size next time. They aren't that flush to need the 285/25/20

Right now I rub slightly with 1 person in the backseat on these tires & my drop.

you need to trim your fender liner and/or the bumper bracket. From your pics it clearly isn't rubbing on the actual fender

That's a pretty good idea. Blue slate is such a classy color, and while yellow will pop, it just seems like it would be a real eyesore.

i was kinda thinking the same thing. even as popular s red calipers are, i thinkg that'd stand out too much too. gold might look pretty good on slate blue, or silver/gunmetal/black.

Looks sexy, and +111111 on the choice of caliper color. Keep it lowkey and sexy!

Polished would be nice but would probably get lost behind the wheels.
