Nice work so far. Kinda agree with da major on wheel. May fit better if you left the chrome accents to match lips. The aero bumper with chrome inserts and buy another chrome emblem to go with chrome headlight to Make for more aggressive look up front. But looks good! Keep up the good work.

You had a choice. You should have picked the correct offset rather than attempting to ruin the quarter panel with that pull. Why does your g37s have the base model front bumper?

What happened? You should have did more research on offset and tire size. What offset are those? Looks like the wheel were the down fall in this build. Like everything else. I would say sale and get new but you already threw you quarter fenders to the wolves.

Thanks for the advice... And the previous owner had the bumper replaced through an insurance claim and they gave her the base bumper instead of the sport. Sucks
