Oddly enough I prefer the journey bumper with lip over the sport version with lip. At first I regretted not swapping out to the sport bumper, but not anymore

i thought about doing halos for both the rears and fronts, love that look well done. didn't go through with it cause of funds

as for the color debate, i dont think the blue slate looks that bad and i subconsciously compare the infiniti white to bmw and lexus (who have the best white's on the market imo), so i don't find infiniti's appealing. I know, thats my own fault.

I agree. It looks much better because it keeps the same rounded look. The sport lip has hard straight lines in the center and looks weird compared to the rest of the car that has rounded styling.

How much work is it to do the halo lights? That looks nice.

Had them done at ONEighty, who's also doing my wrap later this month. Turn around time was one day. It needs to sit overnight if you do the clear protective film on the exterior of the housing. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up the following morning.

So there is a place that actually takes apart headlights, paints the internals and installs angel eyes? Tell me more...

Edit: just found their website. Looks pretty cool

Who me? Just joined yesterday. Nice to meet you.

Oh, I've seen plenty of angel eyes, but everything seems to be people taking the headlight apart themselves. I did not realize that there was a place that would do the terribly boring labor for you. I wonder how much it costs on average.

From all accounts over the years, OneEighty is a very established business.

ONEighty NYC

Not cheap, but they probably have more experience on this mod than anyone on the planet, so you likely get what you pay for. Pretty sure you can get in and out for basic painting at $350 shipped. Once you start adding LED's, the cost curve gets steep.

Welcome to the site Bigeazy! What wheels are those, never seen them before??

As far as lowering, many options but Tein Basis Z seem to be the choice for a low cost coilover that isn't too firm and can be found for under $500 shipped to get just the height you want.

Ask and you shall receive my opinion:

Personally I don't like that style of wheels, but if you do, then that's great. But IMO that style of wheels belongs on a stance car. You desperately need a drop and some more appearance mods. Figure out what you want to do with the car and go from there. Show car? Race car? Daily driver?
