I ordered my TopSpeed beveled tip catback from Virtue Motorsports on 10/24. At this time, both the beveled and straight tips versions were sold out everywhere. I was told that the expected delivery date would be the first or second week of November.
Expected delivery date then got pushed out to the week of Thanksgiving. The order did arrive the week of Thanksgiving, BUT there was an order mixup on TopSpeed's end and the whole order was straight tips. I was offered the straight tips or to wait until the week of Christmas for beveled tips. I decided to wait.
The week of Christmas came and went. I was then told the second week of January. On 1/14, my exhaust finally shipped straight from TopSpeed. I opened the box and it is the straight tip version.
I contacted Virtue Motorsports and Ian drove over to TopSpeed himself. Long story short, I was supposed to get the only beveled tip version due in this month (the rest to come later). The part number on the box was correct, so TopSpeed never opened the box due to the rush. I was then offered to install and use the straight tip version until the beveled tip arrives in mid-late February. Then I will box up the straight tip and ship it back.
What a nightmare this has been. But, let me clarify that this has nothing to do with Virtue Motorsports. Ian has been nothing but helpful. He can only do so much and just relays what TopSpeed tells him. I will never be dealing with TopSpeed again.
On to pictures. Please ignore the badges. They looked great for months, until the salt hit the roads. Now the paint is just flaking off. I will redo them soon.
I also wrapped the roof in 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl and installed the roof spoiler that is painted black obsidian. The roof is not perfect and I will probably redo it one day. But it's not terrible for my first try at wrapping a body panel.
Very nice trim work you've done, G is looking good! What a joke regarding the TS tips, they should be ashamed Hopefully you can get that resolved as you'll be much happier w/ the beveled ones. Now you're ready to do the window trim, should be easy-cheesy after doing your roof.

Window trim and diffuser! I still can't decide if I want to just buy the non-sport oem lip or hold out and do the full sport bumper and lip. But who knows where that'll happen, so maybe I'll just do the non-sport lip for now.
Looks good... especially if it was you parking this morning by the old Tommy Doyle's/Bon Me/Friendly Toast. Otherwise someone stole your car.
Wasn't me! But you did make me run down this morning to make sure it was still there! My wife did remind me that if someone did steal it, we would definitely hear it leave.
Love the work you've done man! You should consider wrapping the middle part of your sports front bumper gloss black as well. I've seen it on some white Gs and it looks absolutely amazing!
Bump for local guy! Looks good man! I have the ultra bar too, mine didn't fit!!! It's been hanging in my shed since Aug ..
If anyone else has this problem, try flipping the bar around. Mine came with the badge on backwards which makes you think the bar won't fit. But flip is around and it's good!

Thanks! I'm still not 100% on doing the sport bumper. Between bumper, paint, lip, and misc stuff... the price really gets up there. I would rather spend the money elsewhere. Or maybe someone will clip my front bumper haha
In the meantime, I think I will just pull the trigger on the non-sport oem lip.
Not much of an update. I sourced blank center caps, painted them black, and had domed Infiniti decals made. I think it makes the 18" Enkei SC05's look factory!
I finally fixed the vibration issue with my passenger side Stillen intake.
I also finally made a harness for my DRL's. They are now on with the parking lights and shut off when the fog lights are on.
Nice work so far. Quick question; is that CF spoiler the one from eBay that ships from China? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it but wondering about how good the finish is and how good the fit is? Double sided tape to secure it I assume?

Came from eBay. Shipped from Cali. There were two users in Ca. Fit and finish is surprisingly good! And yes, double sided tape.
Hopefully you can get that resolved as you'll be much happier w/ the beveled ones. Now you're ready to do the window trim, should be easy-cheesy after doing your roof.
