i was just curious on your opinions on some things i could do to my car this summer. so far i have l.e.d interior lights under the dash and plasti dipped stock rims and rear emblems, i still need tints. thanks!

 

front strut bar, rear sway bar are easy enough, new struts and springs or coilovers.

 

i need new struts anyway or at least the mounts but might as well get it all done at once. the sway bars would be nice tho could always use better handling. what do you think of yellow calipers? like the shade thats on the g35 brembos

 

yellow calipers would be random as hell..you've got a silver car with black wheels, it would look extremely out of place

iv seen plenty of cars with that color combo

 

better example obviously not my car but the look doesnt change too much

whatever floats your boat i guess, just not my style. Do what you like best.

 

to each his own haha. im not set on those just want something other than played out red. maybe blue

 

Why not silver or gloss black and maybe get a stencil to paint on "Infiniti" as it is like below the trunk emblem? Someone on the Acurazine forum has a 335i and painted his black calipers with white "BMW" lettering and it looked pretty good. I think Acura does this as well.

 

thats actually a pretty good idea i think ill do that once its warm when i make my rims gunmetal and i might pick up a set of g35 18's also

 

These are decals rather than stencils, but you could always take like an X-Acto knife using the decals that shows through to trace around the letters and cut them out to make a stencil. Just have to pick which size is best laid out on the caliper.

I'd also do LED interior bulbs, along with the clearance lights in the headlights, and reverse bulbs. Turn signals are your call, but I don't do them since I don't want to put in load resistors and I just don't like seeing how an LED bulb physically look since you can see it in the turn signal housing. What color interior do you have? If its black or grey (which I think it's one of the two since your car is silver) I'd get either pure white or cool white bulbs. I have beige so I only wanted the pure, 5000K bulbs. I ordered just about all of mine from VLEDs and they are really great. eBay ones were OK, but a lot I ordered were cool white (bluish tint) and I didn't like how it looked on my interior. I just ordered LED fog light bulbs from them (to match color better with the HIDs I have on the way) and some pretty high power (3W CREE) reverse bulbs.

 

im gunna do that caliper idea for sure. i have a black interior iv got some pictures of it on my profile. i have white led's installed in the footwells right now and iv been wanting to do the door lights and other interior lights along with the reverse and city lights in the headlights. the city lights have gone out anyway and i wanna do the license plate bulbs but i hear all these leds dont last too long or something like that?

 

LEDs have a much, much longer life expectancy than a normal lightbulb. The only ones that have burned out on mine ended up being overpowered and did not have sufficient cooling. For the license plate lights and courtesy lights in the doors, use forward-facing LEDs as they shine best for the applications. Use 360-degree style LEDs for the city lights in the headlights so they shine everywhere in the housing, and then a DE3175 (31mm) festoon bulb for the dome light. I won't get the reverse lights until the end of the month since they were pre-order, but I'll update by progress thread when I get them. You can also do the glove box, vanity lights in the visor mirrors and ashtray (I did the glove box) but for how much I open either it isn't necessary IMO. I did do the mirrors and they ended up being a little too bright; they use a fuse-type bulb. The city/courtesy/license plate bulbs are 194/168 T10 bulbs, the glove box is T5. I believe the map light/sun roof controls are a different style on the I35 so I don't know which bulb you need for that.

Forward facing are like these: http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...ard-style.html

360-style are like these: http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...360-style.html

Dome light is this: http://www.vleds.com/bulb/3175-31mm-...white-led.html

I think this is good for the visors, but I'm not positive: http://www.vleds.com/5k-white-hi-pow...ight-bulb.html

All the links are to 5K (pure white) bulbs. If you look around on their website they have other colors too.

 

thanks alot for the ideas man ill def be using a good chunk of them. nice i30 btw!

 

Those stock wheels...well they look better stock lol, so drop with different wheels and if thats too expensive for you than spend your money on something else!!

 

The car is totaled. See the other thread...

 

not "officialy" totaled yet lol but yea i know it will be
