yeah... some of these comments are really out there. Why seems to run through my head also... and customizing your car has nothing to do with all stated above... its your car... do what you want just do not join a import club if your car starts looking like a k mart special.

This is not Tokyo Drift & your not DK.

Apparently so. It looks like just about every mod possible is hated by somebody.

and wtf is wrong w/ 20's? They look a TON better than 19's to fill that space between the body and the tire. It all depends on the image you are trying to achieve. and I am still slammed; I can double as a snow plow during the winter, if you are worried about the car sitting "1 inch higher." Sure, they aren't weight-effective, but they look great if you get a good style and color combo + drop. Hey, mine even look almost identical to the OEM Infiniti upgraded wheels, if stockers make you happy.

oh snap... Nissan badges... ON A NISSAN CAR?! OMFG!!! I am uber rice now I guess....
Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen... I know they are the same company, but a Nissan badge on an Infiniti? I guess you get a lot of extra horsepower now, huh? Do you have a matching badge hanging on a big gold chain around your neck?

A lot of the Acura guys do it, so they can feel JDM, since in Japan Acura is marketed as Honda still.

I got a good one: rear window louvers. Beat that.

Don't leave it stock, stock is boring, you just can't be an enthusiast with a stock car.

Painted rotors? Wouldn't the paint come off on the first stop? Better yet, catch on fire?
