My G Sedan Progress!

Hey Everyone,
Had my G37 sedan for almost a year n a half now and just wanted to share with you guys some of the mods that i've done so far. I originally wanted to just keep everything stock, but there's always something inside me that says otherwise lol. I haven't done anything too spectacular but here it goes...

-nokya yellow fogs
-tint
-led's interior/exterior

-window visors

-jx1000/1d with a jl 12w6 sub : thought the bose system needed some bass, so i added a sub. I couldn't find a stealthy place for the amp, so i attached it behind the seat. Also wanted a boxology enclosure so it fits cleaner and would give me more space, but this will do for now.

-invidia q300 exhaust with rolled titanium tips - I was always jealous of the coupe's exhaust tone and wanted to give the car some umphh. After researching the forums, i found this exhaust to be a good contendor.
1st option was the stainless tips but the ricer in me told me to go with titanium . My impression: exhaust tone is pretty subtle, nothing too krazy, just how i wanted it.

-window curtains. I know some people may think they are cheesy and all that.. but i think they are sort of cool-ish

-black wood vinyl for the interior trims. it was my first time doing vinyl and it turned out fairly good. there are trouble spots here and there, but you'd prob only see them if i pointed them out.

im curious about the curtains, how did you attach them top and bottom so they would slide along the window?

Edit: Nevermind, upon further inspection of the pic i saw it has separate rails. are they screwed from underneath or double sided tape?

They are attached with 3m double sided tape. found a link, basically installs like so:

There were some different options i was thinking of for curtains. of course there are the big vip brands such as junction produce, bellazza and so forth... but i was fortunate to have a friends gf that lives in japan which they sell generic types of curtains for cars at the autobacs. i opted for the veloce stile curtains - size 70cm Small. not too sure how to go about ordering them in the US though

Where did you find that vinyl? Pretty unique approach, goes well w/ your interior IMO.
Not sure about the curtains, seems like they may be a bit cumbersome day to day, but unique for sure.

found the vinyl on ebay a while back. just took another look on ebay and looks like theres a person selling them thats "bubble free". looks pretty interesting. the one i got seemed pretty lower quality and i did get air bubbles on some areas

and ya, sometimes the curtains do get cumbersome sometimes, and blocks my blind spot once in a while. but you get used to it looking around them n what not.

I like the effort you've put in so far. Props for working at making your ride unique!

Are window curtains legal on the fronts? Never seen those for the driver window before. I guess I can think of a few instances where they would be handy...

How did you wrap the lid covering the change holder? Does that piece come off? I'm going to be wrapping my car also soon.
