BTW, love the B&W shots, the colors in your front license plate unfortunately get in the way of everything else going on w/ your black & chrome
Thanks Brad for participating!
I always found that B&W photos bring out the best detail.

Maybe I should take some pics with the license plate removed...is the license bracket attached to the bumper easily removable?
Worst comes to worst, I can just remove the plate.

Not a thing you can do about that... unless Massachusetts offers custom plates with a different color scheme. I know New York does.

The plate is what it is. It's the plate frame that I don't like. If it just said "Infiniti", centered, that would be fine. But the off-centered little logo conflicts with the logo in the grille and just looks unnecessarily busy.

Infiniti on the plate frame, Infiniti on the trunk, Infiniti on all four calipers... I get it already! The car is an Infiniti.

Here in Massachusetts there are different versions of the license plate, but all are pretty much the same colors.

The current frames are OEM Infiniti plate frames which was given to me from the General Sales Manager when I purchased my FX.
I transferred them on my G instead of the dealers frames.

I was thinking of replacing the license plate frames with these:

John,
Should I get a nice "INFINITI" windshield banner to go across the front windshield and a HUGE MT. FUGI LOGO for the rear window!

Only kidding!

I like it better than your old FX frames, but you're still logo-heavy.

If you really have to brand your plate frame, try to find a black one with the word INFINITI center-bottom, sans logo. Wait, let me find you one...

Here ya go: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA0RG06G6906

It's not an actual polling thread, and even if it were... what's the end-game? Sig photos? You need to be a paying member.

Besides, you've got 3 pictures threads going on at the same time.

I understand that this is not a polling thread.
There is no "end-game"
I was just curious to see which photos members liked best.
That's all.

Should I stop sharing my photos?
Is there a limit on how many threads I can create...being a non-paying member?

Thanks, do you have a night shot with just the fogs on to see the output?

The clear lenses on our fogs will produce a bluer color than the headlights.
The stock Fresnel projectors produces a slight yellow tint, so by going with the 5000K on the headlights & 4300K on the fogs...they match.
