Haven't posted pics in a year, "new" mods
 
I blacked out the headlights and sanded the lens to be brand new again. not sure if you can tell from the pic but i took a different approach and painted the accent swoops black (got the idea from an RSX)

I also smoked the side marker with some Lamin-X gun smoke

My OEM spoiler had crap paint on it and started to peel like crazy! sooo i got the G35 Sedan Spoiler, MUCH better

I forgot to add I painted the rear window trim gloss black to match the car. Mine was turning an ugly faded old looking color, 3 coats of gloss black, 3 coats of clear.

Car looks great bro! What program did you do the HDR pic with? And did you use just one picture to produce it?

Jess 10-15-2007 10:33 AM

Very nice mods :D Great job on the HDR pic also!

MaxBoost925 10-15-2007 11:49 AM

is the G35 spoiler direct bolt on?

IHAVEA2KMAXIMA 10-15-2007 11:58 AM

The G sedan spoiler looks awesome!

yeah/no it fit a little small, about a half an inch too small on each side. if you mean does it bolt on the wholes of the OEM spoiler, no it does not. I drilled new wholes for it and got the other's sealed up.

btw, what company is that girl in your avatar from?

thanks for all the comments :)

I like the SE tails more since my car is black but dont want to spend 100 bucks on them, so 20 bucks later i got the lamin x.

EnervinE 10-16-2007 12:37 PM

Very nice. Tastefully modded, except for

the blue blub in the reverse
:chebosto: :ugh:

haha well that's what the lamin-x is for ;) i would get LED reverse bulbs but they aren't as bright and i can't see as well when reversing. :) thanks for the comment

MaxxedOut624 10-17-2007 04:43 PM

Your car looks amazing. So clean. I love all the tinted light accents and the G35 spoiler.

Ammi 10-17-2007 08:06 PM

Clean car. I would hurry up and put some spacers for the rears :)

Snypa 10-18-2007 06:47 AM

not feeling the eyelids,but the car and the paint work at the back..............excellent stuff.

SEmy2K2go 10-18-2007 06:54 AM

I think you should go at least 15mm in the rear. Car's looking great.

Nathan 10-18-2007 08:12 AM

The car looks great! I like the wheels, tailights, spoiler & the painted rear quarter window trim.

How hard was it to install the spoiler & does it fit as good as the OEM spoiler? Do you have any more pics of it, but further back?

MrDicks95SE 10-18-2007 08:22 AM

slap a 20mm spacer in the rear and maybe a 5 or 10mm up front. super flush. car looks really clean though!

Maxima112 10-18-2007 10:10 AM

Thanks everyone! once i get a freakin tripod and some time i'll take better pics. I wanted to do spacers a while back but i just fixed my dent (which prevented me from bringing the wheels flush) so i'm in the market for some :) im thinking 15mm. ;) cant do the fronts just yet i have to buy some raxels which will put me back 300+

the spoiler was easy to install. i bought it on ebay for fairly cheap. and it comes with these install stickers, basically line it up place it on the trunk and when you take the spoiler off the stickies have holes where you need to drill. a little scary but with the right tools it was easy. :) I'll get more pics this weekend for ya. :D

KillaJakez 10-18-2007 11:18 AM

very clean.

Let me know if you find a great price on them cause I'd be interested in the same spacers.

(Orange cone in the trunk FTW!:laugh:)
