That's sweet. Great job, Drew. The spoiler lip looks even better than I expected. What suspension did you end up going with?

I went with H&R's and Tokico Blue's. What do you all think of the shaved emblems on the trunk lid? Should I remove the "infiniti" lettering on the trunk lid too?

I wish I could find the "cefiro" lettering for the center light. If anyone can get this let me know. I know you can buy just the "infiniti" lettering, but I asked maxmojo and he said that he couldnt get the "cefiro" lettering.

yea, thats the factory color. It just wasn't worth it to pay the extra money to get the color changed, plus I really liked the original factory color anyway.

I wish I could figure out a way to drop it a little more without the ride quality suffering. I always liked the slammed look, I just dont think I could deal with the ride quality. My H&R's will have to do I guess.

Last time I checked, you can't remove the silver lines that outline "INFINITI" so I wouldn't remove it...otherwise it'd look like something was meant to be there.

Did you have the whole car repainted? If so, where?

BTW, looks great.

I removed my INFINITI lettering off of my trunk and it looks very clean. It's attached by 3M tape. It looks like nothing was meant to be there.

Mine looks exactly the same as max5spd except my car is beige. Still not comfortable with the way my car looks, so I won't post pics until I'm ready...

well the 96/97 tails are quite different from 98/99 tails. I wonder if anyone has done it on a I30 with 98/99 tails. I agree that it looks better on the 96/97 tails, I dunno about the newer tails though.

ok, i'm bringing this thread back from the dead, because I need to know the paint code for that color if anyone knows. I am getting my current car repainted and I want to get it the same color as what my infiniti was, so I was hoping someone had the same color and could get the color code off of the door. thanks to anyone that can help!

Im guessing that is the lip spoiler form paradox-systems.

I've got the same thing, but it doesn't seem to work so hot on the A33's. The curvature of the trunk it too much for it.

You still fightig with yours Meta, or did you finally give up like me?

Sigh. I gave up. And after all the time and effort I spent getting the double sided tape off the trunk the last time, I vowed not to put it on again. But, if all goes according to plan, I should be getting a substitute within the next couple months..

What are you getting it replaced with? It isn't something off the Ausie ST-R is it?

I've been looking at the stock spoiler, but I'm not quite sold on it yet. i keep thinking it might look a bit too bulkey. If you've got something better I'd like to see it... Unless it's a secret.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the stock spoiler either. I have my eye on a spoiler I found scouring the web, but I'm not ready to reveal quite yet... But no, it's not from the ST-R.

Sy is supposed to look into getting the one I want for me over Xmas. I'll know more after then.
