Hehe, no. I p-dipped them as a feeler to see if I liked the black on white look then had them professionally powder coated.

Tires were originally the Bridgestone Potenza summer tires you guys are familiar with on the sport models however I switched to these like 300 miles after buying the car because they're all seasons and I don't have to worry about tires after 15,000miles like the Potenzas

Fyi, anyone looking for new tires... I HIGHLY suggest these Kuhmo's.

 

Hmm... looking good, no matter what side the liner is on. Was planning on a coupe, but thinking about a black xs sedan. Intakes, exhaust, tune, drop, and those new forged vossens 3's in flat graphite. Schwinnnnnng.

 

Lost the LOOKS? what the HELL is wrong with YOU! your in the Sedan section at least our Sedans are finished and don't look like the designer gave up at the rear of the vehicle and cut it off. (just kidding I love the coupes too) Just don't understand the popularity of them I think the Sedans look so much more stylish and sophisticated.

 

looks sick with the black rims...

 

How much is it lowered?? Nice ride bro i have the same car and i was think about powercoating my rims to..

 

They're on Eibach pros so I think 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. Honestly, it's perfect for a daily driver.

Never have I felt such a huge improvement in handling from just springs on any car. Plus from an installation standpoint, it was also one of the easiest.

 

Wow man it looks sexy!

 

Car looks great. What kind of feedback can you give on the Kumhos?

 

I just like the lower/wider/shorter look of the coupe. Kinda like the difference in looks between the Audi A4 and the Audi A5.

 

Absolutely amazing. I haven't used them in the snow but if you look at what people who own Infinitis on TireRack and have this car are saying... I don't think I will have an issue.

The tire itself rates an overall 8 according to user feedback but the average for Infiniti owners is 9.3 (which is VERY high for tirerack). It's quieter than the stocks and I can't notice a difference yet in terms of grip.

 

You make a Good Point about Carfax.... I had a Fender bender with our Mazda 3 two years ago. I did it. I hit the front fender of a Infiniti M - backing out of a driveway ( I don't wnat to go there right now....what a stupid...), $800 damge to the Mazda - needed new rear bumper. The M had a dented front driver's side bumper, crimped the front fender and damaged the headlight assembly. This happened at no more than 10 miles per hour. I wasn't racing out of the driveway. The damages to the M as reproted to me by the Insurance company - over $3,800 !!!

The point of this is, if the accident wasn't Reported to the Police...But settled with my Insurance Company and we went to separate auto body shops, are the damages reported by the Body Shops to Carfax? The Insurance Company? I ask this because, I traded the Mazda 3 in for a 2010 Subbie Legacy 2.5i ( a Great Car for the Money - a CPO, better mileage, roomier than the Mazda, terrific AWD system). I notice the Mazda on the dealer's Web site where I traded the Mazda and bought the Subbie (thety are Dealer for both cars) - certified CPO advertised with available Carfax. if you read the Carfax on this Mazda, there is no mention of the Fender bender??? UUUmmmm??

 

looking good!

 

What's the model of those Kumhos? I can't tell from looking at the pics.

 

what kinda amazing deal did you get on this ? i never really looked at the white sedans, but this looks sexy

 

I was able to purchase the car at "2% above factory cost" and received 30% of my payments back from my 39 month lease agreement.

The whole deal was not easy. It involved close to 40 people on the dealer side, district Infiniti side, and corporate Infiniti.
