Thanks Ceelo. thats what sold me.

So I already bought a stillen gen 3, need it installed still, and thinking about taking my car to them to get sway bars and the eibach springs all at once. Then the question is to black everything out or not. I like the rims that are on there and was thinking powder coat and then get all the chrome done and the heads and tails. What do you guys think?

Gen 3's, eibach, sways....... Sounds like ur heading in the right direction. I agree, don't black it out. 2 color schemes always seems to flow better.

Thanks for the feedback guys and I here what your saying about the black. The problem is since its not a true black, more deep purple in the sunlight I cant think of another color to go with it and I am not a big fan of all the chrome on it now. Too stock I guess.

Looking good. Maybe matte silver or gunmetal for another color for the scheme? I agree, don't black it out. That look is so overplayed.

As an LE owner, myself, I can say... BLACK IT OUT! I'm murdering my whip. Windows blacked, all badges removed, matte black vossen wheels, and as soon as somebody makes an aftermarket grill... that emblem is gone, too.

If you don't know what it is... you gon' hafta ask.

Do you have any current pics of your g? I'm leaning right now to accenting with some graphite but some pics of yours would help.

I've updated my garage with pictures of the smoked windows and the trunk with the badges removed. I'm still waiting on my wheels, though I've already ordered them, and the front grill still has the emblem... just waiting on an aftermarket grill to be made to change it to a blank one.

Click on the "2011 Infiniti G37" under my username and you can see what it looks like so far. Once again, welcome and congrats on the new car. I have yet to see another LE sedan on the road since I got mine. I have seen a vert with red seats, though.

Welcome man! I've got a 2011 Black G convertible and am in the process of going almost all black. Using a dark gunmetal for an accent, though unless you're in direct sunlight it just looks black. If you decide to do an accent, use something other than gunmetal. If I could do it over again (and I can't since my hedlights are already done and it would be a pain to redo) I'd do something like painted silver.

Regardless, just do what YOU like and don't worry about what other people thinks is too played out. You are the one who has to drive it all the time etc..

I actually wish I would have bought a white one and done black as the accent. That's my personal favorite look on the G, but it is what it is and I'm still driving a badass $50k car so I can't complain :-)
