Edit:

Wheels are Velgen VMB5's
20x9"F +30 (+35 with a 5mm spacer) and 245/35/20 Hankook v12's
20x10.5"R +45 with 285/30/20 Hankook v12's



Any chance of some close ups of your headlights? I really like the way they look.

This looks great.

What kind of wrap is that in the rear? Two-piece from Bluebat? Paint? Plastidip? Custom?

Is that a Stillen roof wing? If so... more pics, please.

Good point. Here, let's look at this nicely modded sedan again.

Here's one I took for you!

Sure thing. I did mine a little different. Looking around at most people's, it seems like they paint the entire shroud that goes inside the headlight. To me, it looks like two separate surrounds/shrouds in the headlight, so I decided to carefully tape off the inside surround. The amber corner piece is also slightly tinted, looks darker in the picture for some reason

Thanks! I was going to get it wrapped when I got my window trim wrapped, but at the time I wasn't sure if I'd like it and I remember seeing a member here that had a tough time with his wrap and had to go to two different shops to get it right and still isn't completely happy, so it made me a little nervous lol.

For right now I decided to try my luck with Plastidip (I know, I know) to see if I'd like the look. So far I'm actually pretty happy with it. It actually came out really well and doesn't look bad like most dipped stuff I've seen

In the same sense, I really want the Stillen roof spoiler, but wasn't sure if I'd like the way one looked on my car. I decided to take a chance on the cheap paint matched one on eBay for only $80. It actually looks alright to me, and it's stuck on there pretty good

One day I'll probably get a real diffuser and a Stillen roof spoiler, but right now I have a wedding to plan/pay for

Here's another shot I took a few days ago when I was leaving for work

I've tried to take measurements at like 8 different "flat" parking lots and I've gotten 8 different numbers lol. It's right around 26" or a hair higher in the front and a tad higher in the rear. I was able to adjust my exhaust a tiny bit higher by the cats and haven't scrapped on a single thing since.

I parked by these two random Z's in the grocery store's parking lot this afternoon haha. They looked better from far away when I pulled into the lot, but were beat up and had horrible peeling plastidip all over them up close, but thought I'd park next to them and snap a picture for kicks

Thanks for those headlight closeups ^^^ Nice thought plan w/ those, and great execution!

G looks great from all angles and that's not that easy to pull off.

MiPwnYew, the gloss window trim looks sweet...might have to redo my satin black. How is the paint match on the ebay roof spoiler?

What kind of bumper is that??

My G/Skyline is a 08 model so to get a facelifted look which i preferred, i went to Carbon Signal Automotive which sells a conversion bumper for pre-fl Gs to get the facelifted look without too much trouble.
