How come you left the blue protective shipping film on your center caps? Or did you add that?

I couldn't get them off and was afraid of scratching the center cap. So, I decided to just leave them on until they start to peal away to make it easier. Plus, I did a few road trips when I got them. I may be a little **** about these things, but my money does NOT come easy. I am just trying to keep up with you guys!!

I actuall waxxed mine with Wheel Wax before installing. Hopefully it will make it easier to clean. Your best bet would probably be to use some type of wheel cleaner for painted wheels and then some type of rag and or fine bristle brush.

How good of an upgrade are the G37 Brakes say if you were putting them on a Z that has non-oem brembo brakes?

Well the new Infiniti brakes outperform the OE brembos IMO, so it's quite an upgrade over your non-brembo OE setup.
