I thought he was joking. Couldn't believe it when I realized he was serious. Awkward stare ensued.

FWIW, Amazon has really good prices (well, slightly better) on iJDMToy stuff. But listings aren't as easy to parse as on the manuf. website. I got these: 70-123, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How are these working out for you? I need to purchase replacements for my 2013 S, being that I managed to break the passenger side foglight. Maybe these will fit the bill for me as well.

They're waiting for hopefully good weather this weekend. I intend to take pics of the beam pattern against the wall of the house before I install, and I'll take pics of the oem ones after they're out.

Yep I pulled the trigger on these. I need to get an OEM Ballast and HID bulb now. What's a good bulb for the OEM ballast? Also going to delete that top turn bulb and a cf eyelid in that section.

That's a surprise. Where did you read these reviews from? The Retrofit Source? I have Osram cool blue intense which are 5 years old and they are very good for visibility. The cool blue boost are the newest and recent bulbs they offer.

^^his review is based on a non-hid bulb, which could differ from the comments/reviews I have been reading for our g37. I have been contemplating on purchasing these and will likely pull the plug next week.

That's a halogen bulb.

D2S cool blue boost reviews are what you should be looking for. Xenon bulbs > Halogen bulbs.

Bought an extra set of remaned akibono's. Just put the decals on today. Can't believe how lucky we are to have such affordable access to such big brakes. $250 for powdercoated remans? Heck I'll take 2.

I'm trying to decide between gloss black or carbon fiber-look vinyl wrap for the center console and door accents before I put the car back together. I'm leaning to gloss black but don't want to turn the inside into a Maxima.

You've really got me thinking about this...

1. buying a set of reman calipers
2. having them painted
3. swapping them in
4. selling my originals.

This might be the path of least resistance to getting calipers painted, given my situation. I can't get the car up on four jackstands in my garage, it just isn't feasible, and I have feet of clay.

Love that amber/orange, although I'd be wanting a more metallic flake look to the paint, and the INFINITI decals. Either way, well done, Supra.

Installed Paddleshifters on my 2013 g37X sedan. Very easy install if someone is thinking of doing it as well, just remember if your kit doesnt come with bolts and nuts you are going to need (2) 6mm Nuts and (2) 6mmX10mm bolts, I also got washers as well.
