Then vs Now Pics

I had the opportunity to take some quick pics during lunch to do a Then vs Now comparison, before I sell for a family SUV.

I know when I was looking to do these "mods" I always wondered what it would look like. So I hope this helps people with that.

2012 Sedan Journey Sport
Silver/Black

Mods:
-OEM Front Sport Lip
-OEM Black Grill
-OEM Rear Spoiler
-3/10 Taillight Tint from BluBat
-Removed Infiniti Lettering on Trunk Lid
-Lowered on 370z Front Springs and G37s Coupe Rear Springs (cut rear spring mounts)
(SPC front camber arms)
-G37s Coupe Wheels
-20MM Wheel Spacers Front and Rear

Enjoy!

Nice, very nice. It's amazing to me how it looks so much wider than the other one just by lowering it and adding the rear spoiler/front lip.

Very tasteful! Did you install the blubats yourself?

a valuable contribution to the community, thank you! this should help answer a ton of questions down the road for sedan owners.

i always wondered how the coupe/370Z spring conversion would look on the 37 sedan. i loved the Z-spring upgrade back when i had my G35 sedan, and the results look similar on your ride - very sweet. if i'd change anything i might look at a 15mm spacer on the rear.

Great job on the comparison photos, bet that took awhile. Drop looks great, hows the ride on that spring combo? Were you able to keep your rear alignment close to spec?
Too bad you're selling it and moving on, maybe you'll be back again though
Thanks for a very useful comparison

Is this a bunch of Photoshop? In other words, are those "before" pictures of your actual car before you started modifying? It would take all sorts of planning to get the "before" shots done and then years later, take the after shots and then superimpose them.

So I'm guessing that you found a friend with a stock G37 and used it instead right?

I did not. There is a local guy in DFW that blubat recommended. He charged me $40. It's my 3rd G that he did.

The ride is fine for me. I've done this combo on 3 Gs. So I guess I'm use to it.
Yep, I got the alignment back close enough to stock. That's the good part of the "slight" drop.

Ha...not photoshop. After seeing my car, I've had 3 other coworkers get a G. So I used the guy with the Silver Sport. :-)

Thanks for all the compliments. I love how it turned out. And all the ideas for my Gs are thanks to this forum!

Timsam, sweet G! I'm sold on the grill now, was debating for a while if I wanted that or something all black.
I like your wheels/drop setup. I'm a newb when it comes to things like this, I'm trying to learn from yall
