Thanks John, I really wish I could get rid of the pinstripe too because the Infiniti logo isnt perfect either but sadly it's gotta stay.

Definitely was being optimistic with the price and all used parts lol that being said I acutally owned a pair of rear 370z Sport Rays , but couldnt find any fronts so I sold them for double what I paid. My favorite two wheels for a G are those rays and IPL if I could afford them.


However with my budget the only thing I would be able to get new *most likely* that I like with great fitment, are these two on the bottom.

You do that and that Lexus won't have a thing on you in looks.
Now for a more sporty bumper setup I have always been a fan of this



but not sure how much it would cost, also are headlights really worth the risk and effort to get them taken apart?

I saw Brad said it was a PIA. I do have a drop on the front btw about .75 of an inch though.

Don't get me wrong, the headlights are a PITA to DIY, but the change is so dramatic that it's worth all the effort, just not something I'm in a hurry to do again. If you do decide to go for it, then be sure to change the lens to an STiR from theretrofitsource.com. Oh, and that grill in the last pic looks great IMO, I'd love to have that on mine.

For $90K you might as well go for the GTR R35.

I read that one on each side is faux.

Really? I didn't know that. Which ones?

And is it just me, or do the Lexus tags read "Little Italian"? That's kind of weird.

Yeah John, on the original IS-F only one pipe on each side is functional, the other is just a barnacle.

Well that's just stupid.

When I was a kid, my best friend bought a set of side-pipes on his 1978 Z28, and he was planning on just mounting them... not actually rerouting the exhaust through them. Fortunately, I shamed him into doing the right thing.

Does anyone else think the Q50 grill looks too much like the Lexus? It pretty much ruins the car for me. That, and the electric steering.
