You sure have been busy! Quite a job getting that car to match your wheels 
Looking very nice BTW. Those blue calipers are really going to pop w/ the rest of your car, really looking forward to seeing this all together. Oh, and if you want to detail those rotors you can paint the slots w/ VHT Flameproof and the hub area, just tape off everything except the slots in the pad contact area w/ blue painters tape and leave about a 1/4" into the pad contact patch untaped, this will create a clean cut line when the pads make contact leaving a clean professional look. You then do a full cure of the paint when you get them installed by running a few hot braking cycles, a cool down then another braking cycle. You'll end up with rust free hat area and really show off the slotted rotors.
VHT Flameproof™ Coating -- High Heat Coating

so fun fact.
I named my car "Rariti" (had Kenny change the thread title and he botched my spelling, lol)
Reason was because it is somewhat rare being a 6MT sedan and I made a play on words for the way Infiniti spelled their name so changed the Y in Rarity to an I as well. And I've been using the tag #Rariti in my instagram posts for my car. Now the fun part.
my daughter got a present recently and exclaimed "I love Rariti" when she opened it. My jaw dropped as I asked her to repeat it. She did and I asked what she meant as she held a white my little pony with purple hair. Apparently RARITI is a my little pony name.
So googling #Rariti brings up a mixture of my car and my little ponies....... FML.

How about 6MRARITI
That white matte wrap takes one heck of an interesting picture.

I'd say thanks but not sure that was a compliment.
I got the rotors and calipers installed yesterday. will post a picture later.
Think for the plate if I go with a custom one it will be something like IRQNBAQ

It was a compliment. You seem to make stylistic decisions which are over-the-top, but not unappealing. I suspect you have an artistic nature about a lot of things.
blah blah blah... compliment.
Now that is cool. Do it. Although it's phonetically similar to SHQNBAQ.
blah blah blah... compliment.

Well thank you sir. wasn't fishing for one. just wasn't sure if that was the equivalent of saying "you look tired" instead of "you look like crap today." haha.
as for my style, I don't know how artistic I am, I just am unafraid to own my choices and don't build my car on anyone else's opinions. I'm not a flashy person at all but I do like to stand out a little which is extremely difficult without throwing $50k at a vehicle.
But I very much appreciate your feedback. I value your opinion more than most here.

Out of focus, no less, and used as his Avatar. He can do better than this.
The white Akebono decal looks great, BTW.

the background is purposely out of focus. it's an instagram filter to bring focus to the wheel. it's artistic! lmao.
i'll try harder. it was sunny for a few minutes yesterday so I ran home, grabbed the G, and headed to the beach to grab a few real quick before it got dark.....
