Thanks guy! Means alot

An alternative to black nickel plating would be black chrome PVD. It's the coating my wheels have from the factory. PVD is pretty durable too.

Just waxed her up a bit. Ignore the Walmart Ha! Love the pop of purple/metallic silver you get from the blue slate when it's sealed up

Also, just something I noticed: the orange peel in this paint is fricken horrible. Those pics make it look great as a distance, but man....standing a few feet away...the reflections look like a completely unfocused picture or a video game with no anti aliasing....

Dropped my 2012 6MT off at Infiniti this morning so they could replace the leaking valve cover gaskets for a second time in 3mo...talked them into installing new spark plugs while they were there. Also they gave me a Q50S Hybrid as a loaner and I have to say it is quite nice, no trunk whatsoever but the power is nice

I just got a set of Fortune 500s. The 4 weeks wait time was okay considering they are custom valved and dyno-ed for each order.
I'll let you know how it goes as an alternative.





Kenny, is that you???
hahah well I did have the bolt kit, Tekada CAI, SPC F + R camber, RJM Pedal, STS, Eibach Springs all waiting to be installed while searching for coils and a new ****, along with some other JDM parts that I'm having no luck locating.

Normally I can't stand burnt-Ti. But you make a compelling argument about Malbec Black. Good for you.
Of course! Once I get home I'll snap some more pics with some better lighting hopefully. I may add some more bolts and washers accordingly while I'm under there. Some of it seems a little overwhelming when over 300+ pieces arrive

Words of wisdoms here.

It might just end up being my sig.

That is exactly what I go for. Now I need to find some burnt copper dress up bolts and get that cusco bar.

I thought it was darker. It's almost the same color as my car. So insoluble checked the swatch today and it's a match. I'm going back to gunmetal from Columbia coatings. It's a very dark grey during the day and looks black at night. It made my calipers pop more. I'm so OCD

Heres the short version... while on my way to One Eighty in Brooklyn today on the Verrazano Bridge I swerved out of the way from hitting a piece of tire that flew off an 18 wheeler. It still ended up hitting my car and ripped off the vinyl wrap from my front splitter and cracked it.

He said he couldn't bc it's cracked and he was pretty busy anyways. I'd rather take it to my guys anyways and see what I can do and if it could be fixed or not.

I know, Infiniti OEM paint is pretty sad, but nice to see you making the best of it, G looks really clean, good job


Sorry to see you didn't have a smooth trip to 180 Kenny, headlights look sweet though!


PNW_IPL, that bay is looking nice, those new intakes look mean in there
