Out with K&N, in with AEM.

 

congrats Swen! Welcome to the 19" club. Post 'em when you get 'em. Exciting 2 weeks of anticipation 4U!

 

Cleaned my throttle bodies and installed my CZP Silicone Intake hoses.

 

Replaced the cabin air filter with a new carbon filter

 

Ended up not getting any extra sound deadening in so unfortunately I couldn't get any pics.

 

Filters look good... mighta tried getting black LIKE John. AEM sticker on the other hand...... personal preference

 

I think Hexotic's name is Andy.

And yeah, the AEM decal is over the top, IMO. Otherwise, very attractive and colorful engine bay. Those bright red filters really pop.

 

Edited the top post to "Like John"... referring to your black hex filters ^^

 

Installed the coil spring sleeves to raise up the rear of the car, looks soooo much better:

After:






The only decent before I can find..

 

Very nice, iCrap. All you needed was that extra 1/2" to make it look consistent front to back.

 

Also like those Infiniti logo center caps you fabricated for those wheels iCrap, nice job on both!

 

Yea, I'm happy with it now. Now it doesn't look like it has a couple hundred pounds in the trunk. Nice and even and flush. I think i measured 18mm of wheel gap and 20mm-ish in the fronts. Pretty even.

 

Finally got these back from powder coating, it's kind of hard to tell but they're a gun metal/grey with a subtle flake in there... Can't wait to get them on next week! Attachment 128978

 

Looks like a nice job on the finish, new tires too??

 

Thanks, they did a high quality job, 2-stage with a gloss finish.

I'm going with the Continental extreme contact sports, 245/40/19 all around on my X. I've seen a lot of other guys on here seem to be happy with them so far, so I figured I'd test them out as well... I can't wait to feel the difference of a higher quality wheel/tire setup as compared to the stock 17's with all seasons
