First off, thanks to all the members on here. I've been using the site for info since I bought my 2012 G37 last year. I had looked for a long time for 18" rims that would look good on my malbec black sedan, and I finally took the plunge yesterday. I value my ride comfort and we get a lot of snow in Saskatchewan so I didnt want to lower, so stock height.

I bought Klasse rims (Cdn distributor) but the Niche Turin M169 are almost identical.

Including "before" and "after" pics (after with window tints and my new rims)

 

Fixed my clock light.... well, yesterday.

 

Did you replace the clock or did you figure out a fix?

 

Actually fixed (rigged) it.

Welcome to the site, nice G you've got there, can't go wrong with a tinted Malbec

 

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Thank you all for the comments too, will post here once I get some wheels!

 

Finally wheels powder coated still need to change center caps material couldn't be powder coated and didn't think about the lugs but figured and advised to change them to black

 

Those anniversary wheels are pretty sexy.

 

I like them as well it was cheaper to powder coat these than get new wheels and tires. The previous owner didn't take care of them and they were a sore spot for me. I thought once they were done I would feel better but it was temporary. It's like a sugar rush all good one moment then my mind starts on what's next. Lol

 

Started replacing my cylinder / valve cover gasket ( spark plug #5 had a lot of engine oil), just to find out I will need to replace main gasket as well which I didn't buy ( see slow engine oil build up ), and lost my 12mm long socket to remove top nut that holds manifold. Hopefully autozone or advance auto will have one in stock around my area so I can finish the job tomorrow.

 

Got it paint corrected a couple days ago, very satisfied with how clean it came out.

 

I half installed my Switchbacks today. Problem is I don't know a good spot on the engine bay side fusebox to tap into for ACC power. Gotta look in the FSM i guess.

They are pretty damn bright though.

Right side switchback left side regular bulb, second pic is both sides switchback.

 

Today i installed the oem midnight black grill a set of ngk iridium spark plugs and change my rc2 intakes with the tekeda intakes

 

I just got my trim around the window and rear camara wrap on black gloss to match the pain and I'm loving it
