Plasti dip grille and Stillen filter cleaning
This past weekend I decided to clean my air filters and save about $100 and plasti dip my grille matte black. I haven't had my g for very long and this was my first semi diy. The filters were a bit of a pain. Aside from getting the radiator shield off to be able to remove the grille, there was a big black cover over the filters (I have Stillen gen 3 intake). I used a k&n filter cleaning kit to clean them. But once removed, it was a breeze. Here's some pictures of my process.

i saw something about a "black chrome" paint (forget the brand), but it had horrible reviews - didn't look right, peeled off after a short time ...
the chrome emblem does stick out like a sore thumb on the midnight grille, but i'm not really a fan of the black grille/black emblem look. i think i'm going to hit my Infiniti emblem with some black Plastidip, and then some silver metalizer to try and get a gunmetal kind of look. if i don't like it, i'll just peel it off.
something like this:

Drop in Filter Fail
I thought overnight they would be dry enough and I DID NOT use the proper oil cleaner for the K&N sucked directly into my engine and stalled me on the highway. Dumbest most idiotic thing i ever have done to any car.
btw this was over a year ago...no issues since.
