Definitely glad you ditched the carbon fiber crap. Looks much better

[dumped_es300]

I love the brushed aluminum much more than the CF, youre car looks so amazing too!!!

Im a huge fan of the Fx when done right, and youurs is perfect. ME PERSONALLY, i likes yours ALOT more than that bagged fx u showed earlier... more class and style... that other one i dunno, its someting i would walk past on a car show... this thou.... something id rock all aday......

[Spyder]

This is the cleanest fx I've seen. The current wheels are perfect and I'm happy you lowered it. You're doing a great job wrapping, that's coming from someone who does this day in and day out. I think you've nailed every detail and I definitely like the brushed metal over the cf. Though I did really like the door handles being cf, I think you should do them in the brushed metal. Great job man

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the positive feedback. I'm thinking of dyeing the leather seats to match my headliner and installing the supercharger next year, fingers crossed...

Winter updates!

Installed the SPRTFX rear license plate LED's. Very happy with outcome.It was hard to capture the light output, but these LED/s are very bright.


Before


Left SPRTFX LED's, right regular LED's


Left and right SPRTFX LED's





Also installed the 7W Q5 Cree Backup LED's. Very bright, highly recommend, and they only around $5 shipped for a pair.





Was bored one day and wrapped the cup-holder in 3M brushed aluminum. Came out nice IMO.






Prepared the car for winter

Put the mudflaps back





Fixed my rusty spring buckets

Before:


Sanded


all the rust that came off from my spring buckets


pressure washed



applied the POR-15 rust preventive paint




this rusty piece of metal fell off from the bumper support


fixed it and painted over with POR-15 also


painted the rolled rear fenders with POR-15 also



Sprayed the ACF-50 anti-corrosion lubricant on my coilovers



...and installed the new winter wheels, got a REALLY good deal on them. These are Falken(FK Wheels) RT-7M wheels, 8.5 wide with +35 offset. I kept the 19mm adapters on. Tires are Bridgestone Blizzak 265/50/20. Thanks to guys from my local Discount Tire store.

Washed the summer setup. Going to change them a little bit for the next season.


new winter lug nuts



Quick photo-shoot just outside of town.

Simply amazing.

I honestly think that FX35 is one of the ugliest things ever... having said that you have completely transformed it mate!

It actually looks ... great (I can't believe I like it)!


Great work!

I'm back. It was huge PITA project for me.


I have been thinking to change the lip and barrel color, since I don't have any chrome on my car. So I was debating between gold/black and brushed/black scheme, but decided to go with brushed aluminum and black.


First I cleaned and prepped the barrels






Masked everything off





Primed




Painted with Rustoleum Automotive gloss black paint




Wrapping the lip




All done. I didn't like how it came out. It just was a mix of gray colors



Decided to wrap the face in black brushed aluminum






Didn't like the look at all



Way off


Painted the faces with Rustoleum gloss black and satin Dupli-Color clear coat



Looked great at first...



...but I messed up the drying time between coats and and it came out like this





The only way to go was to strip everything off. Here we go(5 days of labor)





getting close





and done



I repainted everything correctly this time, applied the custom Infiniti decals, but didn't take any pictures(I think there are plenty here already. Also got a new set of Muteki Burning Blue lug nuts with locks.


...also installed new Bosch evolution wipers



Polished the windshield with Zaino glass polish




...applied the Aquapel on my windshield




Unprocessed cell phone pictures






And a mini photoshoot after





















mudflaps are gone now and I will probably powder coat the wheel faces next time:good:

What really caught my eye at first was how meticulous the dinoc was laid on the center column. The attention to detail here is infinite. Very sharp fx.

[LLEBYDOC]

I normally **** these as well, but damn yours looks amazing, and I like the mudflaps myself! Keep up the good work!
