naw man im pretty almost 99% sure the many that did the ipl kit did it bc there isnt anything else out there and plus its factory fit. if the g37 had support like the frs with their so many body kit options we'd see so many different g37s instead of everyone doing the ipl kit i almost guarantee that. its kinda like the camry sport edition kit. that thing is so rampant its boring. not saying ipl kit is at that level but its similar and getting to that point on this forum. but im sure locally its still a looker

and the japanese flag under the hood thing is not that original dude thats been heavily done with other imports (not knocking u louuth but im sure u know this).

Guess you missed the part where I said combo of factory options + AM for a unique appearance huh? Neither threw an IPL kit on their car and went to the shows expecting to walk away with victories due to IPL trim. That's exactly what LB participant's intentions are with a $6,000 body kit....

Dude who are you telling? You think you're struggling? Try owning a sedan. I have two choices of shifter. Stock or vibrator (no offense!) https://www.google.com/search?q=B2+d...4tsudHlEeUuMM:

More options would be nice but at the same time too many options = cheap knock offs and RICED out Gs that make the whole community look bad. Wish there were some available hood options that served a function to allow for heat release and air movement throughout the bay.

Japanese sunrise has been done on imports but not the G37 which makes his original. In a Infiniti car show competition that tends to be important.

Apparently it's a thing, and a flag, not just a cultural symbol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_Sun_Flag

The only thing I knew for sure when I read your comment was that the Japanese flag was a simple red circle in a field of white.

The wartime Rising Sun Flag is definitely a thing. I grew up in japan and have always loved that flag. main reason why i wanted to incorporate it into my build. I was born and raised there for about 14 or so years. my dad was in the Navy.

I didnt want to just put a red dot on my hood lol. that would be weird.
