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.

future mods:
10mm spacers in back
Raxles- axles
LED lighting in the interior
HID fogs(once my bulbs burn out)

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.

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

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?

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.

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!)
