Beautiful shots, Liam. Brakes, wheel fitment, rims, trunk, calipers, tanabe tips... plus your whole 2010+ front end conversion. Very nice. Pretty amazing condition for an 8 year old car. I can attest up close and personal, the car is more clean than most 2 year old G's.
Really stretching here for a constructive comment, but I'm thinking the rear diffuser area would look better matte than glossy.

Just realized your engine bay paint, and hood underside, are still black. That's actually a very interesting look. It says to the world, yeah I had the ***** to go from black to white. LOL
Digging the new hood vents, although not so much in black. Between the custom grille and the hood vents, you end up with this odd anime face.
Happy to see your JTran signature back on the trunk (from your progress thread).

This page is full of win 
Thanks guys for the compliments! John and blnewt, I was torn between matte and gloss black for the rear diffuser for quite some time. I originally wanted matte black, because it's more subtle and that's also how a lot of cars from the factory do it.
However, I ultimately went with gloss black because I wanted to stay consistent with the rest of my trim pieces: gloss black front grille, gloss black headlight housings and gloss black side window trim. I'm even thinking about gloss black roof, but that's not high on my list of things to do atm.
Mik3G37S, sorry I didn't mean to one up you there lol. And yes, that's me on the V36 Sedan FB group who posted pics of the dual evil iron man LEDs. But, my car is Platinum Graphite, which is slightly lighter than Graphite Shadow.

That's what happens when the highway you daily drive on has construction/is being repaved for 2+ months.

I really hate the phrase, but it is one of the "looks better in person" type of deals. The vents are CF just like the lip, side skirts, and diffuser. You can see the CF weave when standing next to the car, but pictures always show as gloss black.
