Subbed for more. The design of those VMR rims are a notch above the Coupe Sports, IMO. They maintain that could-be-OEM look at a glance, but have that little something extra that contributes to the look, while mostly being a detail that only you can appreciate. In my book, that's a win, and that's the right way to mod a car.
I really like what you're doing here. And I suspect that someday soon you're going to upgrade your Tanabe axle-back. Until then, it's fine, and better than OEM.
Have you ever seen the look of the low-profile Stillen trunk spoiler over the chrome trunk lip, both painted the color of the car? (I think it's Stillen.) If I didn't already have the OEM trunk spoiler, pretty sure I would have gone that route.

I would put the quality of the Tanabe muffler up against any other muffler system that is currently mass produced for our cars, full CBE's included (meaning muffler vs muffler). They're my #1 overall favorite muffler for our cars by far and IMO the best looking muffler available.

In any event... it's a constructive option, not a destructive opinion. Although I can do both.

I think I'll just leave the chrome piece as is without any spoilers. Because the chrome piece a separate piece from the trunk itself, it already presents the effect that something was added on. Another spoiler added on top of it definitely makes it look too busy, like adding a lip on top of a lip lol.
Thanks Infiniti for making such an awkward trunk. Lol

Painting the original spoiler can help, but I agree that the factory spoiler looks nice and clean. (Not sure if it goes over the chrome or just replaces it though)
I was lucky as my car came with the factory spoiler, factory black grille, and illuminated kick plates. Seems dumb, but I would have bought all that stuff anyway so I figured I saved a bunch of $$$ in the long run.

What's your next mod, OP?
I don't see swaybars in your list.

^ Those look good! And yeah I am thinking about upgraded suspension components, like sway bars, bushings, toe arms, front strut brace......lots of money to upgrade those so I'm gonna have to see which ones should come first lol. Or better to do it all at once?
