Think I paid 80 shipped.and after I did my wheels with two coats.the bottles weren't even used leaving me with 75% left.that nevadull and mothers is worthless without a wax or sealant over it.you will see.for quality show work, you have to pay to play.


My lips look chrome.but there polished and sealed with shine seal.every car wash they will shine like new.no water spots of dulling...show quality!

 

WOW that Fitment on point! GOOD job! I couldn't make them fit when I had em on my G lol

 

Looks like they fit the g well.
Sent to Dpe to get new lips.I hate chrome.new polished lips.new hardware.balanced re sealed.basically brand new now.

Fender to rim

 

Mbn! Good luck man!

 

Thanks, Man. I'll definitely be starting a build thread soon. Just need to get a break with work and life so I have the time to get it started.


DTM Autobody in El Monte, CA did all the work and they did an amazing job. Especially with the custom wide fender work and the molding of the Carbon Signal CF rear spoiler. The even had to cannibalize a G37 coupe rear bumper to widen the side edges of the 2013 rear sedan bumper so it would work with the wider fenders. The plastic welding job that they did on the rear bumper was an absolute work of art all by itself. Here's another pic of the completed car in DTM's parking lot when I picked it up last weekend.

 

Meh. Just do it. Shame we couldn't see your mods in progress, and best to just buy the car and start the thread next day (for no reason ), but its never too late to share your projects.

BTW, I typically dislike big swoopy trunk spoilers. Strongly, too. But what you did there with the trim line at the top in black is very clever. Props to you on that. And quad tips... also very cool.

 

Thanks, Rochester. Really appreciate the comments. Big compliments coming from you too, since we seem to have similar taste... basically, keep it clean and classy. And I'm still afraid I went a little overboard with this round of modifications, but oh well, I can always change it back if I want.


The little bit of black showing on the rear spoiler is actually carbon fiber showing through. I didn't like the full Carbon Signal carbon fiber spoiler on it before and wanted to go back to a more "subtle" look, and wasn't really sure what to do with it. I was actually very unsure about leaving any of the carbon fiber showing and the body shop actually advised me against it, as they didn't think it would look right... but after seeing it done and in person I think I actually like it and the Shop Manager of the shop that did work said they have actually had 4 different customers ask them to do the same thing after seeing is on my car, so it was actually very successful for them. Here are a couple of other pics of the molded spoiler which might show off the carbon fiber a little better.

 

FYI... If you don't frequent the G35Driver forum then you've probably missed my previous build threads. I have a number of threads over there showing the progress of my previous mods, including the suspension work (which has been redone several times), the exhaust (which has also been redone several times), wheel spacers/wheel fitments, the various body mods, the GTM Super Charger install (which I was the test car for the sedan fitment), the Racing Brake 2-Pc Rotors (which I was the test/fitment car for), Akebono brake conversion thread, etc.... so there's been lots of "sharing" in the past. I just figured I move it over to this forum since the V36 section of that forum isn't very active anymore.


Ok I think after everything I just typed here I probably could have just started a new build thread by now. LOL

 

Thanks for your endorsement of the Shine Seal product. I've been looking for something to seal the lips on my Volk GT30 wheels since I had them re-polished and they are now bare and I think this is probably just the product I'm looking for. I've been using the Mothers metal polish and it works great for re-polishing but adds absolutely no protection. $80 seems perfectly reasonable if it helps protect my $4500 investment.

 

Ah, I see the CF now. Even more clever, because it's not paint, it's the absence of paint. Wow. You're a trendsetter, man. That's impressive.

Actually... Actually... Actually... Actually... Actually... Actually... LOL


I have a SN over there, but barely frequent that forum. It's kind of rough. Younger crowd there, which is where this one is going fast.

Didn't realize you were a 2nd Gen G35, and was thrown by your 2010+ front bumper. But it all makes sense now.

You have a very unique car. Some ricey parts, and yet it all works, IMO. You should be proud.

 

Hahaha. Thanks again. I've watched the progress of your G from afar and really like where you've gone with it, so that means a lot.


The car is actually a 2008 (but with only 55K miles) and I was actually planning on selling the car in favor of a new Audi S7 just a few months ago when it got hit, but decided to keep her for a couple more years and give her one last hoorah!!! tonyHTX's car has been a big inspiration for this phase of my build.

FYI... I'm definitely not part of that younger crowd you are talking about. LOL

 

Follow directions.metal polish strips any seal on polished lips.shine seal seals it and the water just beads off.wish I new about this years ago.when I had works euroline rims.

Now on my DPE wheels.its like there water resistant

 

i cant get over how clean that fender work is!

 

I know, that rear extended fender looks 100% factory, exceptional body man working for that shop.

 

Dropped my G and ripped both my front CV boots but got some pix. Enjoy!
