IPL gunmetal is a nice color for most any G, I'd leave them stock unless there's some refinishing that needs to be done.

He set the IPL wheels against his car to get an idea of what they look like and to elicit opinions. Thus the incredible "poke".

I got the whole car for $1400. I mainly wanted the calipers,wheels and paddle shifters. The rest I plan to part out here cheap.

I agree that infiniti could have done better but they look better than my stock ones. Until I have to cash for Vosson's I'll just use them so I can put the bigger brakes on.

Skipping the rest of the interior, don't need it. No idea how many miles on it and powering it up to check would be a safety issue and willing to bet fire would happen due to wire harness damage at the point of impact.

Trying to get a min of ten posts so I can start putting parts up in classifieds.

If I can walk away with a good set of tires (all seasons) and a set of Stoptech street pads out of this I'll be happy.

Lots of things you can sell, without knowing what kind of accident it was in it's hard to say, but the IPL exhaust is something desired around here, the OEM cats are worth selling, transmission & LSD rear end should be worth some coin and that's just a few items, hell, even the spare tire is worth $100 since it clears the sport brakes (although if you keep the BBK you might want that, lol)
