Dude it looks a million times better. That looks like an option they would of had from the factory. Like the painted side view covers and what not. Probably would of had to pay extra for the chrome one too lol. You should sand down the chrome emblem and get it down to the copperish/brushed aluminum look
I don't know if I'll actually do it, but I don't dislike the concept.
You guys actually like it better? I don't think I do, not as the car sits right now. I'm not happy with the turn out overall, I mean, it looks good, in a different way, but I wouldn't say it looks BETTER, unfortunately. I'll be changing it somehow, probably starting with a High gloss/Clearcoat before I try changing it completely again.
When I get a projector retrofit it'll tie in much nicer also, as well as a new front bumper. Much to change. I don't like the hood either.

Thanks man. I'm actually considering a bronze/gold colour scheme, wheels, emblems, little items.

People are just doped up or drunk, or are just suicidal. A 60 mph train is a good way to kill yourself.
Did I actually read the price correctly? $625 for a fuaking emblem?
And it's not even done well, there's dim spots.

There is nothing you can do unfortunately and the system is practically designed to F the guy over in every way possible.
She wanted me to have 50/50 split on taking care of our son but she wanted full custody. She also wanted child support and all the snaz. I fought her on full custody and won joint. Back when my son was born she made 50+ a year and I made 22k ish. Even with those figures, and the fact we were joint and whatnot I was demanded to pay $113 a week in child support. Living off 22k a year isn't easy, now try it with 50% gone and on top of the taking care of a newborn and all the bills that come with that.
System is F'd. Rant over.

On that car? No. If you had some more black accents maybe but as is, no. Just polish your grille as best as you can.

If you provide what needs to be wrapped and it's nothing crazy, I can probably do it but let's see how my stuff comes out first.
That. She's not attractive in any pic IMHO.
It looks good. Don't touch it lol

On another note, anyone want to lend me 50k? Copy of a thread my buddy Robb posted locally. I want.
Some days I hate racing. This is one of them. I want this in my life, but already have a money pit

That photo looks great. Now if there were just some way to get those headlight lenses crystal clear again, that would really compliment it nicely. Are you thinking of baking those lenses open and painting some gun-metal inside?
Either way, let's assess the not-quite-stock look here: G37S Coupe wheels, blacked out grille, and funky fold-away mirrors. And all done in a way that only someone in the know could really tell the difference.
Not bad, Tuner. Not bad at all.
Oops... my bad. That's only from this angle. That trunk lid. Forgot. I'll save that for an in-person opinion.

Yes lol leave it. It look really good the way it is. Of course you are there in person and can see details pictures can not bring out. Even pictures that blow the page out....
. I would leave it. Once it gets damaged then replace it. It will be an easy way to keep it looking fresh as well
