What's the deal with the dash color on this one. Mine has the stone interior but with a black dashboard and steering wheel. My stone leather also looks quite a bit darker than this one... more of a taupe color according to my wire.

You have a g35, they discontinued that combo for the g37. I wish they hadnt, its so much nicer.
EDIT: Actually wait, that's a lie, they had it in the early g37, the 2009.
I think in 2010 they also had a tan option which had black and tan colours instead of that dark gray and light gray combo. But I have never seen one, may not have been a north American option.

No, Im saying I like contrast. The graphite and the wheat just isnt enough. And the tan in the G is pretty nice, just off wheat.

Dosen't make sense why they got rid of that... that actually looks nice. I really hate that grey colored dash.

Today I wrapped the brushed metal bits inside my car with some carbon fiber wrap. It was my first time wrapping anything so there are plenty of mistakes, but it wasn't too hard taking the interior apart so i wont mind redoing it. oh, first post by the way.

Nice zuriel. Props on keeping the pattern going the same way across several panels.

Most of the weekend was spent building the huge L shaped workbench in the new garage, but I did manage to get some time in on the car. Wetsanded the orange peel on the DIY bumper paintjob, and then polished the living bajebus out of it. Dont know how well this photo will come out, my camera is still glitching.

Oh, that was saved from facebook messenger. It scales down the images even more, but seems like its the only way I can get semi-in-focus images. My phone actually has an amazing camera, I fried the focus somehow. Still haven't had time to have it serviced. Its an Asus Zenfone 4.

Heres a photo from the same series without the facebook messenger poopoo. Its a lot blurrier though.



ALSO! For the nay-sayers that shot down my metal flap idea for more airflow and cooler air. Since I had to take my bumper off, I ran some intake temperature tests, took them off, ran more tests down the same stretch of road and recorded my intake temps from the torque app. Very minor 2°C lower temps at 60km/h and almost 6°C cooler air at 100km/h (took averages across 5 x 1.5km runs on the same stretch of road) Not bad for 2 pieces of bent sheet metal. (all tests were done with the bumper on... of course...)

Next weekend, I'm hopefully finishing fabricating my custom air boxes/heat shields. Curious to see how much of a difference that makes.
