Thanks guys, yea they are G35 rays, not spaced out yet but I plan on getting some 5mm for the rear and 8mm up front. Also need to get /35 tires instead of the /40s that are on there but other than that I like the look a lot more than the stock 8 wheels I had.

Plus best of all got them for a price that I couldnt turn down.

Nice

The rims look pretty good on there. I didnt recognize them as G35 wheels until someone else said something. I'd say, throw some clear corners on there (b/c the black ones dont match anything but your tires unless your tail lights are blacked out) and find original chrome badges, and you'll be looking classy.

BTW... is STL Seattle? If so, we're neighbors.

Thanks for the comments good and bad. Can't please everyone.

But as far as the badges being red I plan on painting them black again soon. Just wanted to see the red. Also I have been thinking about getting clear corners but I do like the black look.
Defiently not going back to stock wheels.
And nope stl is St Louis.

I suppose other people are just luckier right now.

Also about the front plate, thats really about my only option other than running no plate and that isnt an option.

Not mandatory in Nevada. I hate the look of front plates and both of my cars don't even have holes for a front license plate anyway.

Its more like a custom aftermarket grill, ordered some mesh grill material and used that also have it protecting the oil coolers, but you shouldnt see the foam because it isnt there.

Ya i guess it might just be the actual bumper, thought it might be the styrofoam but just a dark pic.
