But in the middle, he debadged the Fuji and the INFINITI letters, replacing them both with the SKYLINE letters from Japan.

I'm thinking of maintaining the debadged G37S, debadging the Fuji and the INFINITI letters, then re-badging with SKYLINE, but about 1.0" higher (because Fuji gone). Should probably shop this up to really assess it, however for some reason I rather like the idea.

Here's his car, with aftermarket trunk spoiler, roof wing and exhaust.
I kind of like the skyline kick plates, I wonder if I can find some illuminated...

Putting Nissan on an Infiniti may not be wrong, but putting Renault on it would be about 43% right. I'm ordering letters now.

Nice! Now do you get what I was saying about the shorty lug nuts?

I bet you there's enough recessed area in between the wheel's stud holes to support something like this... which would be a heck of a lot easier to put on and take off. Probably a higher number of threads in contact, too.

These are not forged. However, they weigh significantly less than my previous 20"s I had. Car feels much better

That's a shame. You'd like to think a detail shop would have skills. Hope you get it resolved.

OK, now I've got a challenger for you. Describe in as little or as much detail as you want, two things that you just really, really like about your car. Or something that you just did to your car that you're stoked about. But it has to be positive... you can't segue into another droning b1tchfest.

Ready....? GO!

Maybe you haven't paid attention to all my posts then.......but I'll play along for the LULZ.

1. I just tracked my car and it pretty much held up for all the sessions, all while lapping people with a babyseat in the back.

2. I love how under the radar this car flies. Even my enthusiast friends had no idea what this car was capable of until I showed them.

Bonus

3. The seats and brake calipers. Pad swap was a breeze and I had no fade whatsoever.

Look at post #5141 as I cannot find the pics on my phone to attach them again.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a booster seat? The infiniti snug kids guide is kind of outdated. It looks like most anything Britax fits.

As an added complication, a booster seat that starts with 20 pounds instead of 30 would be great, as my 3 1/2 year old weighs in at 22 pounds.

Trying not to have to drop $700+ on 3 convertible seats

You mentioned they were lighter than the ones you had, what was your weight savings? I know when I went to the forged wheels the car really changed. I'm getting ready to go 3 lbs lighter on each corner and am wondering if there will be a noticeable difference.

Excellent! I knew there had to be something there, because... Well, you're here.

Keep it up, buddy.
