More pics and videos to come. Review of FI Lth's and CBE, plus before and after sound clips

I welcome the advice, thoughts, and comments from my G fam! This wouldn't have been possible without this site and all your help. Sincerely I thank you all.

Wow! You are not wasting any time modding your Infiniti!

About time Reddi!
Glad to see a build thread set up, looking forward to more.
BTW, might consider this Strut bar, worked out great for me and I know you like red :)

Awesome! No plans for a tune?

You got me Alfredo I actually have a tune planned next. I just forgot to include it.

Update: I picked the car up from the shop today. They actually spent 13 hours n change installing and modifying everything. Nearly double the original 8 hours they estimated to base the quote on. However, the shop owner stood by his word and charged me the $400 we agreed on. So big ups to Simpli Auto located in Jonesboro, AR!

The exhaust sound is stunning. Full write up and before n after videos to come soon.

To the guys that I promised before n after dyno runs to...I'm sorry. It seems my small city just doesn't have any places to go for dyno runs :(

Had a freakin wreck yesterday. Guy in front of me had to come to a dead stop on the highway bc some A-hole in front of him decided he wanted to turn at the last possible second n didn't think he needed to blinker or slow down to give warning. I swerved to miss the jeep and still made slight contact. While attempting to miss the collision I eased into the shoulder but with all the heavy rain of late the shoulder was nothing but a slick, muddy, death trap. My car slide down into a 3-4ft deep ditch and traveled about 30 feet before I was able to control it at all. By this time I realized if I didn't get the car going again before I came to a complete stop then I'd have to be towed out. So I gassed the car in spurts till I was able to get moving. On my way out I absolutely crushed a 4ft in diameter culvert. This resulted in light nicks n damage on my passenger side front Vossen and severe damage to my rear Vossen. I also got lucky enough to have my drivers side Vossen given a heathy dose of the jeep wranglers bumper.
Taking the car to the shop for an estimate in the morning.

My guess so far....
1 new bumper cover (I'm switching to IPL)
1 new front quarter panel
3 new Vossen CV4's (at least 1 replaced but maybe 3)
1 new headlight lense at the minimum (hopefully it works still)
1 side skirt needs repaired
There is a slight wobble when I drive so I'm not sure if that's the wheel damage or something else.
All in all great Birthday!!! And I've only gotten to enjoy my fast intentions LTheaders and FI CBE for 2 days now����

Good luck though this Reddi, it's tough to see that but you'll get it back looking proper soon.
Hopefully it's just the wheel causing the wobble feeling.
I'm sure it took a little heat off your wife for curbing that rim now :)

Damn Red, glad you're okay. I'm sure you'll have it back looking proper in short order but geez.

Nice car bro!

There's a guy on VQ Nation selling IPL bumpers if you need one. He's in TX but I can't remember exactly where.

Ouch :( hope the undercarriage is ok and most importantly is the roof. Make sure you 110% check the roof moves freely and noise free.

You are not wrong Brad, not at all. 3 brand spanking new wheels have a way of reddeeming my wife's love affair with curbs lol. Let's just all hope n pray that she doesn't F up the new ones lol.
