Cut rear dust shield lip to clear bigger rotors (front bottom corner cut too, to clear bracket - but forgot to take pics) - thanks John @ Temple City Auto, nice work![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

nah - manufacture finish on the rotor hats... I have 25mm spacers to get the wheels flush with new fender line and had them painted flat black to match rotor hats (I don’t want to draw attention to the spacers or hats.
My car is so monochrome right now that a little color was needed - but I think just on the calipers is enough - might paint the valve covers the same color though.

Thanks for the comments guys
Was SO close… 99% committed – then pu$$ied out… it’s a little bold for a sedan I think.
You can call Auto Explosion for a quote 310-329-6691 (sorry I don’t typically discuss cost)
Borrowed OEM rotors from a G37Driver member – once 2-piece are finally made I will swap.
Funny guy!

If I had had car done this color, I would have done a different color with the rotors (probably kept the OEM color - the OEM finish is soooo perfect).
