Seller on eBay is SpoilerKing! Probably the same spoiler just a few years apart haha
I think I may end up doing the “valence” black to tie the rear end together
Also looking for a reasonably priced OEM rear spoiler as the eBay Grubbs V2 style spoiler has poor fitment from the sides and the Tail as Turn kit to modernize the tail lights a bit!
Typically not a fan of the roof spoilers but that low profile looks good. Compliments the trunk spoiler. I love the tail as turn mod. Had to remove mine recently as it was failing and causing my light to be very dim on one side. Will be getting new modules tho! Nothing better than passing a G without them after seeing their turn signal and then hitting my turn signal.
Removed the 3M roof wrap and had the roof repainted Infiniti KH3 Obsidian Black! OEM+ vibes!
After the car is back, going to be sending it off to tint to get it re tinted in 15% sides and 10% back. Debating windshield tint at 35%.
My only worry is the inspection sticker. Any tips? Cut out may look cheesy and if I tint all of it, how to avoid the DMV from scratching the sticker when they remove/install?
OCD kicked in a little. Getting front end resprayed to get rock chips from 88k of highway miles out. Bumper, hood, and fenders.

Not sure how much night driving you do, but 35% will be fairly dark at night (although it will look great during the day). I only had 50% done on my windshield and its perfect. If you want darker than 50%, but lighter than 35%, not sure what percent it would be if you doubled up 50% tints on the windshield
Several weeks later, project is finished. 3M black roof wrap removed, and roof was painted in Infiniti KH3 Obsidian Black. I ended up painting the roof because as good as the wrap was, it did not have the gloss effect I was looking for. Certain angles, it looked matte.
I ended up removing the KH3 Roof Spoiler, thought the body lines flowed better without it, almost like a panoramic roof. (The roof spoiler is for sale if anyone wants it, was on the car for all of 2 weeks)
All she needs is a paint correction and detail to refinish some of the fading practice. From these angles it is kind of hard to tell that she's 13 years old car (6/2007 production date).
Next projects on the bucket list are to repaint the grille, do the headliner in black similar to Deep's thread, and headlight halos. I just have to figure out how to get a black seat belt holder (in the coupe it holds your seat belt up, and folds back when you don't use it); I think about painting it in SEM black, however Im afraid of paint failure on a high use item. Any tips?
The 30% tint from the previous owner started to fade and ended up ripping last week. Got her retinted today. Went with 15% 3M tint all around. Makes the car look a whole lot more aggressive and really makes the panoramic roof effect pop!
LOL Thank you! I've been meaning to get it done for 5 years now, and especially a few months ago when I had the roof painted! Good thing the old tint ripped haha
Agreed very simple to clean, just have to find the time/weather!
Probably going to do a DIY paint correction + ceramic coat, leather steam cleaning in the spring! Hoping to keep her through residency and fellowship (4-5 yrs)!
With a heavy heart and tears once again in my eyes, I sold my baby last night :’( she was looking so beautiful and I almost backed out but I knew it was the right thing to do. I was able to get back most of what I paid for the car 6 years ago because of the cars condition! I’m moving to Philadelphia for my residency next month and a car is just not viable. I toyed with parking it at my parents home or having my brother hold on to it, but I felt it would deteriorate over 3 years of waiting for me to come back home.
I will really miss this car, words can’t say how much I love it. Car got me through college and medical school with no issues, just asking for premium gas and oil/general Maintainance. 60k miles, 6 years of smiles and memories. Signing off at 92k
I want to thank everyone on the community for supporting my build and for all the advice. Youd best bet I’ll be still lurking!

That's an easy choice to make. Looks fantastic.
