Keep shooting and you'll improve !
Thanks for the tips. I was aware of those issues. I was just rushing it as the sun had gone down a little more than I hoped for. The wheels turning in the wrong way in some shots was a newbie mistake on my part

Car looks clean. All you need now is the Infiniti G37 brakes..

Very nice. Unlike some people here who kills it with the black grill or grills with the huge gap, black headlight housing and the black tail overlays. Which kills the contrast.

Pretty sure someone will or already has commented to black it all out.

Thanks man

I already have a Stoptech BBK, Hikkatadori trunk, and possibly a Nismo CF splitter on my wish-list for the upcoming months. I just don't have the cash for those expenses at the moment though. (There is a ton of more mods that are underneath the exterior mods that you can't 'see').

I completely agree on the issue of the headlights and grille. I love the contrast between the gun-metal(ish) wheel + polished lip finish, chrome grille/headlights, and black body color. I have always been hesitant on messing with the headlights and grille and will probably leave it as is.

My goal is to keep the car clean and simple.

Good, keep it that way. It looks very good as it sits and I, personally, wouldn't black anything out. Keep it up and keep us updated on those "unseen" mods.

The lighting and polarizer gave it some funky effects on the windows without tints.
actually the polarized effect looks pretty cool!

Very clean and simple. Can't go wrong with that. Only suggestion I'd make is to paint your nismo mesh black.
