sold them a week later after driving to a show 4 hours away and back then slapped on some redrilled gloss black 745li rims (dampers maxed with shorter springs). these were far less aggressive so i took the camber out until it had just a tad bit of poke...close to -2 all around with 19x9 +6 and 19x10 +14

exhaust didnt get done in time for the ImportAlliance meet...but i dropped her off last nite to get somethin done. will pick up sometime mid-week. stay tuned. :)

Love the transformation. Good work, looks great! Is the new kit completely custom or did you start with a base kit then began hack/slashing it up?

[img]http://www.jspek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/MG_1085.jpg[/img]

dat blurple.

sick pics man,  I love how low it sits.  

Does the M45 guys have the "low cat" problems the Q45s do?

Thanks guys. Yeah the y34 and f50 have the same exhaust setup but i cut the secondary cats out for a lil more room.

The front was a mashup between the oem and ctsv bumper. The side skirts and rear bumper were custom cut/extended/modified on top of the autech rep parts.

ready to see that exhaust done

yeah, one day i'll get the rear bumper fixed and everything repainted to match so i dont have lexus white and infiniti white. ;)

hi sorry to bomb your thread but u recon 19x11 +1 rims can fit on a y34?

the vision on the kit is really good. i still think you should check out the d3 inlet covers with led for the front. fitment on the sides bothers me. looks like they were built out instead of cut in so the skirts don't line up with the doors. rear design is super aggressive for my personal taste, but it looks well thought out and decently executed. my least favorite part is the wheel color, but if that's your style it's your car.

overall another strong georgia build in the making.

My personal favorite y34 stateside (not just because he is a friend of mine) ..got a couple of things to work out but he is gonna get it done...more things coming for this badboy in the future

rgn17....an 11 +1 will require fenderwork or lots of camber. my bersaglios were 11 +27 and i had -4 to have them flush with a roll and baby pull. the 11 -12 ssr had -7.3 and still werent even flush. lol ive had a bit of trial and error with this car the past couple years.

mike, i appreciate your input. i originally wanted a candy blue color but decided to try this new "paradise blue" powder which ended up showing more purple than blue...depends on the lighting...but it grew on me over time. its not bad, but the wheels have been turning in my head the past couple weeks for another change....whether it be another color or another wheel ^_^ and as far as the sides go....im getting the fitment concern looked at. trust me, i see it too.....the glass shrunk some after adding the vents to the skirts AFTER they were already extended and smoothed.....

the kit is getting resprayed and prolly blended for a better match with the existing paint on the body along with the skirt and rear bumper fix. exhaust was done with a full stainless axle back and triple burnt tips. actually changed the tone of the exhaust a bit.....i like it :)

and thanks larry, you know i'm always doin a lil somthing here and there.....wish i could do more faster but this new job took a hit on my mod money allowances :(

I personally love this car, because it's far from typical. More than drop and wheels. I enjoy seeing this at the meets regularly!!

appreciate it...

Car is looking good!

that rear diffuser doee

more updated info....kinda.....

Somewhere around when i first installed the air suspension, i also did the black interior swap and added the factory option xm radio kit. 
When i first got the LXZ I had some custom toe arms made that incorporated the lower bag brackets and were adjustable for the added camber i needed.

Nothing new with the car really besides some features here and there, and new wheels.

I did...however.....re-powdercoat the LXZ faces gloss black and repolished the lips for the IA meet. that following weekend i sold them. lol

And on to the latest update........ the new look..... 19x10.5 +12 Work Emotion CR Ultimates. square setup again. 5mm spacers up front. Pulled the quarters a tad for the wheels to clear and tuck. ;)
I have since dropped out of Infamous and started parting the car out to pursue another build. I might rock the M in stock-ish form for a little while unless it sales but......yep!

Thanks bro! It has been a fun project and she has gotten alot of love the past couple years. Thanks to SuperstarCustoms for helping bring my vision to reality on that part. She has been good to me and still is but i've been slowly losing interest in the car the past year and going to dig deep into my 69 c10 project. about 70% done with the 6.0l LSx swap then its gonna be bagged on 22s. Different scene, better people, less trolls.

Yeah the whites dont match.....obviously. The plan was to paint match them after a lil while but I love the new look. Adds a sportier touch and makes it fit the GTvip look a lil more IMO......and i have yet to see a y34 on these wheels. But its all good, maybe i'll get into something old and jdm like an 80s cedric or something....we shall see.

sick build.. new setup is on point

i love how this gen Q45 you can go in either direction. like you can go traditional VIP or what i call "sporty" VIP lol. i'm really loving the triple tips
