dude it was such a back breaker, and still ended up not being able to complete it. I got it done at a local shop and they took off the bolt in 5 sec
as far as drop and emblem plastidip, all look good my friend.
Thanks for you help kRAM

heres few pics.
last pic has your car in it.

I don't get spotted too often because my commute consist of a 5 mile drive to SJSU on weekdays and I barely put any miles on the car.

Saw a black G37S (non-IPL '08 style front) with very clean LED DRLs near oakland yesterday.

I pulled to the side to let you have domain of the fast lane, but you kept getting ****ed over by slow drivers.

Anyway, great stance and very clean.

I was the gray G37S with an IPL lip and AXIS wheels on a low-coil drop. And I drive with my fogs on. Because, lol.

I am in Tracy. Just bought a 2012 G37 sedan. Waiting for my extended warranty to expire so I can start modding...

Did the DRL's look like this?


I think I've seen a dude driving a similar one around the fremont auto mall area a few times

Hey NGL and Mad, welcome. NGL, someone posted a FB page for G and Z meets on here; probably your best bet for meets. I'd like to be more active in the G community, but I have a lot on my plate right now.

Johnny, the DRLs I saw were straight, and not "L" shaped; there was a DIY/ exterior mod thread detailing it; some enterprising G owner bought some blank IPL vent covers and did a very good job fabricating a straight 5 or 6 LED array. It looked very clean and OEM. Someone else did a different one that was also pretty cool-- DRLs sourced from a BMW. The BMW LEDs were installed on a standard '08 vintage sport bumper though.

Anyone here have their front fenders pulled or does anyone have suggestions/recommendations of an experienced place to have it done?

Technically yes but the lip behind the front fenders are bent up already so I need them pulled more than rolled.

Hmm...are there any shops that do fender rolling near you? I am pretty sure there might be...I would imagine they would be able to do a fix as well. What happened?
