Yea if something is done right it will look sick, but do one thing wrong and thats it. Kinda like me 
Theres a murdered out GS on here that is actually sick! but I cant find it 
has a kit dumped and with BBK and just done right! Heres one I did find that actually isnt bad:
To the OP Just to be clear, I didnt say I hated it
Looking at the above pic, I think what really sets it off is the drop. IDK why, but I think thats what saved it. Im thinking that the little gap above your tires adds a third black (shadow) that makes the tires' color stand out a bunch. IDK, again I'd like to see it in person.. but will never happen
maybe the chrome trim to black would be a good idea for next mod since theres no other chrome to set it off.

wow that does look nice. i do wanna go a lot lower. that height is about right were i want my car maybe a little lower. but im not sure how black i wanna go. the only thing i am considering is to kinda reverse the murdered out look n introduce a color to it. but im not sure yet. maybe i will go ahead n black out the chrome trim too
and/or do what GS300TOM did with his grille, keep the chrome trim and L and paint the grille black. You got to have some kind of uniform for what ever way you want to blend. All black? then all black. Black with some chrome, then have enough chrome to blend
Black and CF, then you gotta do a lot of CF for it to look at all proper

Thanks
That car is pretty nice but what i thnk i might do because it i hav went so far in is change those emblems to chrome to match the exterior chrome around the door molding, and introduce chrome(or silver) back into the wheel so it will balance it out. i def getting rid of the CF gas cap n i prolly could ditch the red brakes to and jus paint those black.
here's a pic of the rims b4 i painted them black. and the car wasnt lowered either
i didnt mind the silver but i didnt want ppl to say off the back "o u got g35 rims, nothing special" lol
and here i repainted em the first time with a silver lip. i liked this but i messed up the rim n wen i painted em they jus all ended up black. lol
you guys think i shuld reverse n go bak to all silver or jus a silver lip?
jus gotta keep in mind i do hav black housing in the headlights n my side markers are smoked.
You know thing about the murder look is that its all or nothing! If you dont go all the way, it will look awkward to others (IMO). I think that may be why I was liking that pic. and yea, introducing some color would be nice. Like that pic I posted, the tails set off the red calipers and was JUST enough to do its thing. I'd probably find a way to get some clear side markers and black those out too with a good LED. As for the chrome trim, I think the only way to get away with that is to do stainless/chrome lip as to again set it off:

Ok I jus started working on this car seriously in like April of this year. I guess I can start from the beginning with the fact that i started with the small mod of a high performance K&N air filter. But of course that was baby stuff. I don't have any pics of my engine bay but here's the list:
-Ichiba Wheel Spacers (not on now but i got em)
-Megan Racing Lowering Springs (2 inch drop)
-De-badged with Black Lexus Emblems
-Blacked out OEM grill
-Weapon R Secret Weapon Short Ram Air Intake
-10000K HIDs, with blue LED parking lights (i used to have underglow)
-19 inch G35 rims painted jet black
-blacked out chrome molding
-Painted Headlight housing, tinted tail lights
-Smoked Side Markers
-Rebuilt front suspension (UCAs, LBJs, OTRs)
-Bridgestone Tires
-HKS Hi-Power Muffler Exhaust System(thanks Henry)
I think thats it. I have some pics below. They're not the best. Tell me what you guys think. Oh and I already kno...go lower...i want to but i gotta wait till spring.
