Stormtrooper G37

So I'm finally dropped on eibachs, spacers & ark exhaust coming soon. There are still some dark spots but that should be fixed soon. Also have to clean a bit of overspray. Been working for 12+ hours on it so I'm taking a break. I'll update this thread as it goes on.



Edit: It looks fuzzy because it's covered in water. I'll take dry pics when the weather settles


Black roof?

I'm digging it! Spacers will do wonders! Consider dipping the rear valence black?

The upcoming mods will definitely be a nice addition. I'd say the valence in black is a must.

Dip's about 5 or 6 bucks depending what store. Home Depot usually sells em cheaper than Ace or Lowe's.

I think Jesse buys it in bulk, like gallons at a time since he dips entire cars.

Jesse, looking good. IMO grill would look nice w/ the Infiniti Logo in white, and I'd take off take off all rear lettering and leave a black Infiniti Logo.

What was your original body paint color?

I think he's sponsored with the dip looking at his decals & plate and often color change.

Damn wtf, my last post got deleted.

I used 1 gallon of gunmetal as a base and 3 gallons of white. I could use another gallon of white to cover up a few light spots but I'll do that later when I have more time.

Total cost of dip was around $220. This is only the 2nd time I changed the color lol. Also, I'm not sponsored, dipmyride is a local thing me and a friend were doing for people around here that want some stuff dipped.3

Original car color is amethyst graphite. I'll probably go back to AG once I can find an ipl bumper at a price i can afford lol

Gunmetal as a base was probably a bad idea. Lol

I like it. Always a fan of black wheels on a white car.

Looks good, how did the ride change with the drop? Any scraping pulling in/out of driveways?

No problems pulling in an out of somewhat steep roads/driveways. It's definitely noticeable that it's a stiffer ride. You feel the bumps in the road a lot more. Anyone who says eibachs are the same as stock definitely has no feeling in their body lol.
