Craigslist. They're off a 2013 coupe. 1 wheel has some minor curb rash. Got it for $450.

Don't feel too silly, would have been a creative use of currency.... but for the time and effort it would take to modify a penny, washers are much more efficient

Are those pieces hydrodipped and clear-coated? They're pretty shiny.

Man John your age must be getting to you ....no sir...those are real CF pieces that were gel coated. Had those on since the 7at, hence everything fit over with the exception of the bottom 3 pieces around the shifter and I have yet to find anyone local to do the work to match up the lay of the carbon.

Gel-coated CF. I didn't know that.

Impressive commitment to a theme, Fat Sac.

Looks nice, but personally I am not a fan of mismatched emblems. Either change everything to Nissan, or leave the Skyline off. Changing everything to Nissan is a lot of work, which is why I haven't even considered doing it lol (gotta change airbag cover, kick plates, front grille, and need to do something about the analog clock and seat stitching)

I completely understand. And I have no doubt most people here won't like it. So much so, I almost feel like I'm rick-rolling them.

I'll be one against the grain and say that I like the way this looks despite the Infiniti/Nissan debate. How did you manage to get it lined up correctly so it's straight horizontally/vertically on the trunk lid? I've been thinking of doing this but I just know it will turn out a degree off and it will bother the heck out of me.
