OK cool. Here's the pics to work with:



I'd like it if you can make the car black and add in those outer tails. Then make the reverse light (thinner) to match up to the outer tail's bottom red section by painting the bottom uneven portion of the reverse light black with the trunk. The rest will be black as well. Basically, just the outer tails and the slightly modified reverse lights will be the only glass parts on the trunk.

It might sound confusing, but I have a picture that I made up on my own just to have a general idea, but the file is way too large to upload to my photo account. It would def give you a better understanding of what I'd liek to do. If you got E-mail I can send it there.

Thanks alot.

the reflections are gone off the trunk because removing the center portion was harrrrd. i would have drawn more in but this ****ty computer = me not trying very hard. i shaved the infiniti logo to mkae the color matching easier. the trunk lines are a little screwed up around the new reverse lights, but that's barely noticable. there are a couple spots where the original color shows through, but again, not enough to make it a huge deal. let me know if there are any changes you need.

[EDIT] i meant to bring up the brightness on the trunk to make it match better, i guess i forgot. if you want to, open the pic in ps, select JUST the trunklid, and bring the brightness up to about +7, and the contrast up to +4 or +5.

Man, thanks a TON. I really appreciate it. I don't mind that the reflection is off of the trunk that much. My big concern was seeing the Lights in REAL time lighting, not some red and white paints lol. This is great! I modified it a little with some emblems to resemble Stock setup, G35 setup, etc. Take a look. I don't have PS, so I was unable to brighten up the trunk, but thanks again!!

Stock Look:


G35 Look:


Cefiro:


Benz Style:

I like the g35 look without the I30 badge. Or maybe the I30 under the infiniti badge?

Hmm...let's see...

Shaved I30 Badge:


Personally, I think I like the Cefiro & Benz Styles the best, but I do like em all. They're all fresh and new lookin so I guess that's why.

Thanks guys for your input. I appreciate it and look foward to hearing more.
