Changed my leds inside the car to blue to continue with the blue side mirrors and blue fog light tints I have. Not really sure if I'm feeling the blue interior lights though. Has a sense of rice to it so might switch them back out. I'll keep them for a couple of days and see if they grow on me I guess.
Yeah I'm not really feeling them either lol I might keep the door and the vanity lights blue but switch out the map lights back to true white. I appreciate constructive criticism!

Car is looking good Kenny, but I do have to agree I'm not digging the blue led's. Also i was going to ask you don't get hassled with having a blue tint on your fogs? Only reason I ask is because in Northern NY blue signifies Volunteer Firefighter and if you aren't one of us you'll get pulled over and ticketed. Not sure how it works in NJ.
Thanks man! I really appreciate the nice words. 
They are just a blue tint. The actual lights when turned on at night really don't show blue at all since I have true white led bulbs. But I've never had an issue here in NJ thus far. Wouldn't you guys have blue strobes anyways?

Here's a video I uploaded on YouTube of the Ark exhaust about an hour after I had it installed. It still isn't fully broken in but gets a little deeper each day.
Ark exhaust right after install on my g37x coupe. Not fully broken in.

As for the headlights unfortunately no iron mad leds or demon eyes just yet. Got these from a fellow member who was going back to stock so we just swapped plus cash. More modding to the headlights to come in the future though for sure.
Thank you so much everyone for the kind words! I wasn't really happy with the Ark to be honest the first day bc I was just so used to my Greddy exhaust but this Ark has definitely grown on me in a huge way in less than 24hrs! Lol

Took off my Autokits v1 rear diffuser (will be posting up for sale when I have a chance) since it was covering up the beauty of my Ark grip exhaust. I decided to vinyl wrap the diffuser area on a gloss black to contrast with the current satin black the car is wrapped in. I must say it came out nicer than I thought it would and know of can actually see the exhaust!
Good decision, Kenny. While I'm still no fan of ARK tips, that looks much better. And your idea of creating contrast in the lower bumper was spot-on.
I would consider ditching that chrome license plate frame. You don't need all the redundant INFINITI branding, plus the chrome frame is busy and kind of cheap looking. Also, I'd drop that Fuji an inch since you did away with the letters.
If you like having shiny trim down there, consider something less fat, where the retaining bolt flanges are behind the plate, instead of in front of it. Something like this... only $4 at Walmart:

As for plate bolts, buy a $5 set of fender bolts. They'll look great.

After a long and tedious search it's official. Finally found an opportunity to switch out my non sport seats for sport seats and I must say it was well worth the wait.
These seats and additional bolsters are amazing! I truly feel like I'm driving a new car! Maybe that's also bc of all the changes I've done within the past 2 weeks as well but the seats are amazing!

I believe those neck pillows negate the design intent of active whiplash protection.
However, Infiniti sport seats are excellent, aren't they? When I first got my car, I thought they were confining and stiff. Sure didn't take long at all for me to appreciate them.
