Tell me what you think... Blacking out the G

I have an '06 LPM Coupe w/ 19" Rays. 30 tint on the windows. Since I am getting the rims refinished I was thinking about doing this:

1 - Powder coating the Rays flat black
2 - tinting tails
3 - painting inside of headlight housings black
4 - painting front grille black
5 - deleting rear "INFINITI"
6 - painting rear symbol black

Can't decide how it will look... Anyone good w/ Photoshop???

i think black is good as long as you have some items to provide some contrast.

@ mjd240. nice ride.

Anyone know a place to get black locking lugs & valve stems? Also, some people say to use metal caps on the valve stems, but some say that will make them sieze. Anyone know the truth?

Check out wheeldude.com the McGuard black two piece lugs. You can find black valve stems anywhere. Check amazon.com.

@ mjd 240

Just looked at your profile, and saw your were complaining about not being able to use navigation while driving.
You can buy a module that will let use the navigation while driving. You can also buy one that will bypass the Ok button when you start your car, that you have to press everytime.
I forgot what the company is called, I think it's CP Technology or something like that. But G35Driver doens't support it due to the decrease in safety (use it at your own risk, it makes it more dangerous. i don't have it, but i'm just trying to help you out), so google it

@ OP
I like blacked out theme. As others said keep some constrast otherwise it gets too black and it just looks cheap.
maybe add a polished lip to the OEM 19s, and keep the taillights red. keep some of the emblems, at least the mt fujis. the silver valve stem might look cool in high speeds, with the look of almost like an outer ring in constrast of the all black rim

A few updated pics. I know she's dirty, and I'm no painter so the headlights aren't perfect, but what do you think?
