Hello from Chicago!

Hey!

I'm pretty new to the site and I'm hoping to make some g brothers as well as increase my knowledge on these magnificent vehicles. My current ride is a 2011 G37xS Sedan. Check out my gallery and feel free to give your opinions .
Looking forward to be apart of this unique community.


-Granat

Haha thanks man, although the tails might have to be done a third time, still not 100% happy with how I did.

I removed them and did about 2 heavy coats of VHT Nightshades, followed by a light coat, and then 2 coats of high gloss clear coat. Didnt like them the first time so i used some break fluid and elbow grease to strip them back to stock. 2nd time came out a bit better but not exactly how i wanted them. still looks better than from the factory imo

Ahhhh okay cool. Well, the third times a charm. Hopefully, it comes out exactly the way you want if you decide to do it again

The car looks really clean! really like the look. Almost bought a sedan myself. Do you possibly have a pic of the rear in daytime from further away? Just trying to see if it would be a good look for me to go with.
