Finally got my sport bumper, lip, and morimoto fogs installed. Took her for a joyride as well.

I also repainted my grill and rear diffuser (not shown). Don't mind the bag over the mirror I took the cover off for the paint match to the body shop and am working on my led mirror covers now.

Also I am noticing some weeping? Not sure if that's what it is but just above my oil pan to the driver side and on the passenger side up higher looks damp or something. Anything I should check? I got a 100k warranty and 7 years whichever comes first. Only at 53k now.

I went with a kit from Z1motorsports.com and it is the best bang for the buck. Hands down.

F&R slotted rotors
F&R Centric posi quite pads
Stainless steel lines
Two bottles of brake fluid

For my base model it was 500 shipped. Expect another 100-300 more dollars for sports.

Just go to z1motorsports.com and enter your vehicle info.

This is a really good setup for daily. It's definitely an improvement compared to my stock setup. The sell a bunch of different pads and fluids if you're looking for something more aggressive. Also, the coating on the rotors have held up really good.

They do have them, but just for the rear so I got the performance ceramics all around (these and these). I've had them on two months now and like them a lot, no issues so far.

Spacers w/ OEM rims

Hello fellows, I have 2012 sedan on kw v1 coilovers sitting on ipl rims w/ stock tires (245/225). Want to go up tire size 275/245 but need help with spacer size. All I see are recs for coupe but nothing for sedan. Any suggestions? My current spacers are H&R 20mm rear/15mm front. Thx

silly, silly question, but what side of the MyG37 decal goes towards the window? I ask because I assumed that the transparent side is what's used to line-up and press the decal to the glass, meaning that the "sticky" side of the decal faces the non-transparent paper of the decal package. However, in practice, it hasn't worked for me...

Sorry, I told you it was a silly question, but I've no experience with go-fast stickers. I'm only applying the MyG37 decal to represent this community!

I would think like most any window decal, it depends on where the adhesive is. It could have been cut for inside mounting, or outside.

For non-tinted glass, you might want to consider using an inside decal. For tinted windows, you pretty much have to use an outside decal.

I think you've got it right here^^ if you pull the decal out of the envelope, the "paper" side would be against the outside of the window. I had trouble laying mine down as well - Its a combination of the intricate design in the vinyl, weaker adhesive on the vinyl itself, and an overly sticky clear overlay. If you haven't already, try using a credit card or something along the shapes and letters once you have laid the clear down. If that doesn't work, I've also had luck with heating it up once its in place, then credit card, then peel the clear at the most sever angle possible once it has cooled a bit.

Thanks for the responses. I'll have to determine which side has the adhesive, as the decal seems to "stick" to both the transparent and non-transparent paper sides independently. I bought two, and nearly destroyed one in the process.

In any case, I'll not waste anymore posts with this query. Thanks again!!

Wow, you did a great job. I scraped my bumper and a little bit of my fender. I was able to buff out most of the paint transfer but I still have a few scratches that I would like to fix. I would really appreciate, if you could do a diy or quick list of the steps you did. Thanks

P.S. I also have a BO sedan and I recently DIY painted the paint matched the chrome spoiler, great look

I just watched some YouTube vids and winged it. Definitely not an authority on the topic lol. My process was: sanded it down to bare metal, then hammered the dent out as much as I could using a dolly and ball-peen hammer > bondo > sand with 80 grit > bondo > sand with 80 grit > bono > sand with 400 grit > sand with 800 grit >2 coats of sandable primer > sand with 800 grit > 1 more coat of primer > sand with 800 grit, then touch up a bit with 1000 grit > 3 coats of paint > (since im using spray cans, wetsand with 800 grit) > another 3 coats of paint > again, wetsand with 800 grit, then 1000 grit > 1 tac coat of clearcoat > 3 wetcoats of clearcoat > (again since im using spray cans, wetsand with 1500) > using a polisher, buff the hell out of it.

On a side note. Went to a BBQ with my local Infiniti/Nissan group..... Rochester shows up in his gorgeous G and parks beside me hahaha. Was nice seeing ya John. Car looks beautiful in person.
