Hey guys. Going to try and update this thread when I do something with my ride. I'll try and keep the newest pictures at the end of the thread. I'm a broke public servant so dont expect this to be a long thread

Stock with OEM wheels. Came with tinted windows from the dealer, along with ToyoGuard, and thank GOD I stopped them before they screwed in a license plate on the front

The great trip to Pennsylvania for Infiniti G35 Rays Forged Wheels:

Checkin Flushness:

Sending the wheels for Powdercoating:

G35 Rays Forged Staggered 19x8" front, 19x8.5" rear

Just bought a Yakima roof rack today as they had 10% off. Got the following.

1 Set of 4 Q-Towers
Q5 Clips for the front
Q35 Clips for the rear
58" Cross Bars
44" Fairing
Set of two Yakima bar pads so I can throw the yak on top. Wish the yak was white

Going to probably swing by Great Outdoor Provisions tomorrow though and switch out the 58" for the 48" bars. Kenny said the 48 are what he used, though Yakima said you need to use 58. However, the 58 are way too long. They do this so you can throw the strap around the outside of Q tower on the bar, but I dont like it. The guy at the store said just to hack off the ends to whatever size I need, but i think i'd feel better just taking it back and either letting them cut it (so if they screw up they replace it), or getting the right size.

Pictures to come tomorrow when me and a friend set it up. And no, i'm not going to sticker-bomb it like Kenny did, dont wanna pose

Powdercoated wheels look nice gooze-man, but I think that CR-V still sits lower than your car.

Your wheel gap is scary man!

I like the white one white. Need the drop though, otherwise looks great

HOLY HELL the powder coating looks GREAT. Any plans for a moderate drop? She needs it.

I might go back to GTR someday.

Just roll without springs man, you'll be the lowest ridin' camry in the nation!

LOL TRD

Thank you guys very much for the compliments.

I know she sits high right now, but the drop is not high on the priorities because of the area I work... some hellacious railroad track crossings. It will get a drop eventually though, dont worry about that

Oh and the Rack... it came out to like $380 after tax, and after a 10% discount Yakima is offering in July. And its not just for cosmetics. I have a 13.5 foot Wilderness Systems Pamlico 135T kayak I haul around and fish out of on occasion. Hoping to go out today between rain showers if I can pull it off.

dang if you can afford a 400 dollar rack you coulda gotten springs. Just get airbags or a cupping kit haha.

Guzman · 07-13-2010, 07:08 AM

Tried to log in and comment via my Blackberry but no luck lol.

I could have easily bought the springs. Once again, springs wont haul a kayak

I'll probably go with the smallest drop anyway. Not looking to slam my car. Still gotta work, drop my daughter off at the babysitter, and use it around town. Not to mention i'm 26, not 18, and i'm already starting to get back pain from work. LOL
