Not feeling it. Personally, I think it really detracts from the car. Smoked tint would look alot better and retain most of the tail light's design.

But to each their own.

doesnt look as good as the original

infinity was removed, now the logo looks out of place
and the color of your car definitely does not match the tint of the lights

just my personal taste

You wasted your money, time, and effort. It doesn't improve your vehicle's aesthetics rather it takes away from it.

i had tinted tails on my other car which was white, i think it goes better with cars that are white or black, or even gray.

i believe it gives the car a "stealth" look
some successful examples (my opinion) include

The car itself looks really nice, but I think that with the color of your car it doesn't really match, but still I really like your car

the tint quality to my surprise is actually pretty good..i didnt install them myself..the shop that my bf takes his g37 to installed them..there's a guy on g35driver who sells tint overlays and people who have ordered those and installed them themselves have said it can be a pain in the neck if not stretched out right.

I'm with the majority here. I've never liked smoked tails, so the same applies here. But if you like it, it's all good. It is a nice car regardless.

The removal of the lettering makes the rear look awkard. Do you plan to put a replacement badge/lettering there?

i dont plan on adding anything there..i think the pics came out at a weird angle 'cause in person the mt. Fuji sign looks fine..i never touched it so the placement on the trunk right now is how the factory placed it..so i dont know >.< hehe

Ahh...OP very nice collections you guys have.

I was caught between the 08 350Z Grand Touring and the G37S. I went to both dealership and found out I'd have to wait 5-7 months just to get a G37 and 5 months just for an 08 Z. I just moved so I couldn't afford to wait that long for a car so I just got an 07 Z off the lot lol.

Damn the g37 is nice though. Was he on a waiting list?
