Waiting for a Gloss Black style of plastidip or paint for plastic that actually finishes nicely.

Nicholas GM everything matte black on my G is painted, that's the only way I'd recommend. I had everything done at the dealer, I have a good reputation with mine so they helped me out a lot. However, IT WAS NOT CHEAP. I mean, I tried plasti dip and had no luck with it (on a diff car). Try the paint option if your budget allows thank you!!

I think what you've done so far is clean, I'm just saying don't go too far on the black accents. I've seen people do the door handles, side mirrors, etc. finding just about anything they can to spray paint. A small dose of black, especially against the gray paint, can be healthy and give it a good look. Anything more and it begins to look cheap.

Now that you've blacked out all of the chrome, I think the badges would look better if they were also black (or completely removed). But I would stop there of course I can't tell you how to mod your own car but that's what I would do!

I have pretty much completed all my tweaks and mods to my G that I wanted - performance and cosmetically. Below are some pics and a vids of the exhaust and the mod/tweak list.

**All pics were cropped to show close up of vehicle and ONLY include an auto-enhance on the photo based on current brightness etc (cloudy day in chicago), no manual filter applied to photos**

Cosmetic:
30% tints (4 windows)
Smooth Matte Black paint - stock rims, grille, chrome spoiler lip, chrome window trim and exhaust tips.

Performance:
Stillen Gen3 CAI
Stillen Catback Exhuast.




13 G37x Front - Low



13 G37x Front - High


Let me know what you guys think in terms of current look, ideas, opinions, advice etc. I'll take what you got

Thanks!

Brandon
Also got mine from Clarendon Hills Infiniti. looks good, enjoy

I agree about the rear badging, I'm fully debadged myself and prefer that look, but getting rid of the Infiniti and G37X and doing the Mt Fuji in black would also look good. Perhaps some black lug nuts as well?

the93owner. So the thing is that the front badge is chrome. So what if I removed the lettering from rear and kept the front and rear INFINITI logo badge only (but both chrome so they match) ??? I appreciate your input.

Epiphany thanks man. My only thing is the front Infiniti logo is chrome so I was thinking maybe remove the lettering on rear and just keep the rear Infiniti logo as is to match front. Thoughts?
