Wow.. that should have been a factory color. It looks really good! I think the VIP style suits larger sedans though. The G35 looks better as a sports sedan, but that's just my 2 cents.

I used to wonder why people would dump so much money into a car when they could just buy a newer/better car. Then I realized that I would prefer to drive a modified car over a stock car any day. It gives the car character and it's personalized. Not everyone is into going fast all the time or into all out performance. Some prefer a cruiser that looks nice.

That G35 has had some high end body work done to it. The paint job and fender work look top notch. Those are probably the most aggressive wheels I've seen on a G35 sedan. It's not for everyone, but it shouldn't be hard to appreciate the work put in.

Mods are fun, but never justified from an economic standpoint.

Lexus had a pearl white. Caddy and Infiniti at the time had a more yellow hue to it. Surely others had it before Lexus but my feelings are Lexus made it a very popular choice.

THe GFM shows about 3 different hues depending on angle. This looks like all 3 rolled into one. Nice idea though as the GFM really is one of the best colors I have ever seen.
