What wheels and offsets are on your FC? That first picture of the G35 is ******* gorgeous. I can only think of putting a remote flash towards the rear bouncing some light down the side of the car to help. Other than that, I must say its badass!

Yes true, I love the sleepy eye look too. Plus, since I have HIDs, I can look for bats while I'm driving if the headlights are all the way up. Other drivers hate it I'm sure bc they always high beam me.

Ok heres a few pictures of some of my progress.

Got the car washed!!

My new set of seats...

Had to cut the factory seat brackets and fabricate it with my factory sliders from my old seats.

Out with the old and in with the new.

Got a new radio trim piece.

This is what it looked like.

Looks like I needed some rear tires.

Switched them old Yokos for some Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions with a lil hint of nitrogen.

Road forced balanced.

Love that ***!

4 wheel alignment.
