my ghetto lip install, new spacer, and strut brace.
greetings my fellow sun worshipers. been gone for a while, but that didnt stop me from getting parts for my G.
took off my 15mm spacers for the rears, and added a 20mm to flush it out more, pretty satisfied with the new look, 15mm made it tucked too much in since i have aggressive front offset of +20. so my new look is 42 + 20 for the rears and it fits good on 275 rears, just minor rubbing on the liner, and since i'm not gonna cut it, i think it'll be alright.
2nd, since i'm gonna have the lip (180 custom replica) molded into the bumper sometime later, i decided to screw around and try to install it myself, and i tell ya, that crap is hard! i know a few body men, and they gave me the bodyshop glue to mess around with it, so i decided to try to stick it on myself, lols.. and i must say, it looks quite nice for a no bodyshop skill noob like me. know i am thinking i should skip the molding process and just save for next mod.
last but not least, i got a coupe's GTspec strut bracer installed, wasnt sure if it was gonna work, but infiniti did say from the fender on back is a vert designed so the front has to be the same. looks good and feels good, i can feel the body be a bit more rigid.. oh and this damn thing took 3 months to get to me, but it was well worthed it. now i just gotta find under body bracing that will work with the vert.
next mod? unsure.. maybe GTM supercharger or TT kit, but who knows, oh and maybe the areo kit skirts..

looks great man! our cars are starting to look more and more alike everyday!
I have the same setup eibachs and cv1s as you with with 15mm spacers in the rear only... I was thinking about putting something more aggressive.. maybe 25-30mm in the rear and putting the 15mm spacers in the front.... but you said minor rubbing? how minor is minor?
I can't WAIT to take my car out.. it's been almost 3 months! the weather in georgia must be getting warmed by the day right? haha happy modding man

thanks.
not a scraping type noise or anything, just a little sheesh noise you will hear when tires rub on the felt liner. yeah, its been getting spring like warm here, was 70 or so on sunday.
H&R hub type.
yeah, near pdk airport.
yeah, but i'd like to put more of the money in speed and handling. a simple look is all i need.
yeah, i know. been MIA for a while, even missed all the PM to get into the 2011 calander. i'll see if i can make the next meet.
man, i should have dropped the top on sunday because its raining cats and dogs today! its ok tho, a detail shot will be in the mix sometime later.
