FINALLY out of the shop!

After 4 months in the body shop and another 1.5 weeks fighting with the suspension it's finally done and ready for summer! I need some bigger spacers again tho... Don't mind the non-cut grass and not finished house or garage

The trunk does sit kind of high. I tried adjusting the latch but I think its from the seals.

Looking good. I'm assuming you're same hieght all around cuz our arches make it look like front rake. I would say bring the front down another half inch or 1/4inch and call it a day. It's definitely a solid piece man.

Thanks everyone. It's pretty exciting finally having it done exterior wise. I get looks and thumbs up everywhere I go. Had an elder gentleman give me a thumbs up today, and a few people taking cell phone pics at random places. This was the first G35 coupe in town when I bought it, and now its the first one with anything done, and probably one of the nicest and cleanest imports in town. Next closest G with work done is at least an hour away. There are a couple auto coupes that showed up this spring but all stock and look to be just average people.

I thought about going black, but with the headlights and the polished lip I think I will leave it for now. Might decide to change down the road though.

I used to be a fan of clear corners, then one day got hooked on the orange again. Not really sure why

It was a complete re-paint. The only thing that wasnt painted was the OEM trunk, and the trunk was still installed when I picked up the car. You could see a def shade difference even though it was sprayed with original color. This new paint is slightly darker and has more metal flake/sparkle to it. I love it!

I'm actually going to have spacers made for the rear and bring it up about 1/4" to 1/2". The roads here aren't low friendly and it was interesting enough getting into some places today at this height, Any lower and the front would take a beating.
