08 G37s dropped, tinted, and new wheels!

Tint 5% rear, 15% front

Drop: Eibach Pro Kit (just installed Monday so it may settle a little more)

Wheels: 19" Forgestar F04 Piano Black wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's

next - lip, blacked out tails, and possibly a black roof...

Opinions please!DOMO

Looks good man..

I think the black roof will really compliment it well..

I would black out the grill..

And IMO wouldn't do the tails.. For some reason i think it makes it look cheap. At least totally blacked out, maybe like a light tint or GTR style..

oh yeah, forgot to mention that, blacking out the grill tonight

I am on the fence about the tails, I ordered them, going to put them on and see how I like it when they come in. If I keep them, then I will paint the headlight housing as well. Anyone know if the amber strip is easily removable from the headlights?

Kinda going for the same look as the Z but more black. I see your point about the rivets, they also make the wheels look somewhat smaller dontcha think?

Personally I love the rivets...just my $.02

It depends on what you are doing with the amber strip. If you are just taking it out and dont care about it, yes. If you want to use it again, you have to use a lot more care in getting it out.

PM Danny@Limited Edition for headlight work!

i totally agree! u should get someone to photoshop the rivets color matched to the rims, i think ur right about them looking smaller. Either than that ur G is hella clean man.

AND i know this is a terrible example but this is the sorta contrast look i think of when i see different color rivets for some reason lol

I'm the exact opposite, that makes me think of a G's wheels

I guess that's the difference between the US and Canadia lol

Looks good! I like the rivets as well, I have it on my iForged. I think the rivets gives more contrast to the wheels and maintains some class that our G has.

Without the rivets, it'd be clean but I think it'd have more of a track look, more suitable for a track car like 350Z. Rivets wouldn't really work for a 350/370Z but does very well for the G I think.

The amber side marker is not easily removable but it's not hard either. You'd have to take a lighter or blow torch to melt the plastic tabs, then use a flat head to scrape it off.
