Introducing... White Lightning.. Blackjack is back on the scene. *PICS*

The day I've been waiting for... for many months has arrived. Well actually yesterday, but had to work out some kinks with the setup today. Had the car since March after my accident where I totalled my 08 G37S.
The What?

  • 2009 Infiniti G37S - Moonlight White
  • Vossen Forged VF051 20" Custom (3 pc, Paint Matched)
  • KW Variant 3 Coilovers
  • SPL Pro Rear Camber Arm Kit
  • SPC Front Camber Kit... TBD
  • Toyo T1R
So... I finally got the wheels and suspension put on. Kudos go out to Forged Performance for their hard work and patience during the installs. It wasn't easy. So as you can see, the wheels are on. They are a 3 Piece Forged Wheel by Vossen. They are custom with a color-matched face (Moonlight White), black accents, and chrome lips.

I know the centercaps are missing... I had to send back to Vossen for paint and they should be arriving any day now.

Had a few minor kinks with the install but we've worked through them. I had to add a 3mm spacer as I had a small hit with a TPMS on a rear control arm. Adding the spacer gave us just a tad more comfort with the fitment. I also had problems with the SPC Front Camber kit... I'm working with SPC on the issue. Essentially the Ball Joint Shaft increased in size. The top went in fine but after the ridge, it didn't. Not sure what we're gonna do, but I'm confident SPC will help resolve.

Got the alignment today. Rear alignment cleaned up fine, but still running significant negative camber in the front until I can get the SPC Front Camber Arm fitted.

So I guess all you really care about is the pics...So here they are:











Pure Sex in my opinion... I'm so happy with them!

Thanks for looking.

I take it no problem with SPL install? Did you get the toe bolts too or just the arms? I have just the arms in my room waiting for install on Friday.

No problems at all with SPL.. Yes I did toe bolts, but they toe bolts that SPL sends are the SPC toe bolts.

Alignment Tech was very impressed with SPL.

Nah... I honestly don't like colormatched headlights and I'm not a fan of breaking the seals just to remove the amber.

Camber is at -1.5 in rear which is in OEM spec.

I actually like how the car is now... I'm sure people will say I should tint the tails, but I don't like tinted tails.
