I think I know what you're going to say......pass on em right?

I think I like them. However, the price is crazy at $800-$850!

I can't really find many pics of them, just a few from a Japan autoshow showing them on a NISMO Skyline Sedan, but the car is really well lit so you don't get a great effect.

This would be for the SPORT bumper, not the non-sport.

Anybody got pics?

I would say pass on them only because of the price. Way too pricey for what they are. Looks wise, it's not bad. I'm still not completely sold on the idea though. Search here...there was a couple people who have done it.

According to the Infiniti website, these are $550, dealer-installed. And we all know what kind of crazy mark-up that is. Did somebody quote you $850? Oops... price includes labor. So that's $300 labor. Hmm... a half-day job? IDK about that.

It is a very expensive item, IMO, analogous to the illuminated kick plates (which I kind of wish I had. Shoot me.) Except that the kick-plates are for the driver, whereas these pearl necklaces are for people looking at the car. It's a different point of view.

Look wise... meh. That's always a personal choice. I'm OK with derivative designs, but it's not often I like the look of added elements. Things get busy.

I have then installed on my non-sport and I myself would say pass due to the price. They look really nice, they're super bright, and I still have yet to run into another g sedan driver with them installed but they are seriously over priced. I really like the look though and I do get compliments on them.
