does anyone from myg37 has the directions on how to put the keyless cover on? also, how would +20 fit on the car? would it stick out too much or a little that i can roll the fenders whenever i get the rims and drop it.

FYI: Key hole covers are called escutcheons at the dealer.

Mine was a little harder to put on than with my G35 but it still snaps off and then snaps back on. I used a flat head screw driver with electrical tape on it so I dont scratch the paint.

20's may fit, depends on width and offset.

ZiZZaPlease

what?

i just need pictures. i can only do this by seeing how to do it, hopefully the pictures does not get erase whenever the site comes back up. the rims would probably be 19's 8.5f and 9.5 rear. +20 would stick out too much? or should i settle for +35?

I know the exact thread with the pics you want too. Damn, can't wait till the sites come back up.

thinks 20's will be too much!

ZiZZaPlease

i would get 20's but 19's would be good...how much would it cost me to get my rims powder coated gold? what if there is tires on the rims before the powder coating begins? the tires would have to come off right?

Kidcane

Sorry I did not take pics but there are DIY on Driver when it comes back up. Fenders on G37 are really already rolled. Yes, tirs will need to come off for powder coat but dont do that get new wheels if you are looking for a change....IMO.

would the rims get weaker if i do powder coat it? if i do powder coat them, how much should i expect the price would be for it?

If you saw the thread before, you'll recall how a small microfiber towel was used to hold the door handle open so you can reach the small tab within that holds the cover (escutcheons ). You really don't need the pics because you can see how the cover is attached to the inner piece it comes with and practice popping it off; the inner piece it comes with must be removed prior to install.
It was a bit difficult to remove the regular cover first, I was afraid of prying the little tab too much and breaking it. I wanted to keep that in case I wanted to put it back. I first used blue masking tape all around the cover to be removed and it was a good thing as it protected the paint while using a little plastic tool I have to gently pry/pop/coax the cover off. This was after the tab was almost lifted to the point where the whole cover would have slipped off easier.
Take your time and think ahead, I recommend covering all surfaces at risk of scratching with the blue tape...

ZiZZaPlease

ip, you should have posted that like 3 hours earlier....haha, i f-ed up my driver door handle and it wont shut correctly..let me go fix that and put the cover on now.. . thanks

ip37

give it a good push, make sure it snaps on. and make sure the cover goes under those 2 tabs on the right

o and my wheels are +30.. 20x8.5 & 20x10

ZiZZaPlease

ehh, i finally got it on. the side of the cover looks like someone being chewing on it..did you need a drop? how is it without a drop? does the wheel stick out a lot, or it is tucked in nicely?

ip37

haven't dropped it yet, was trying to wait for coilovers but it looks like it'll be a while before we see any; so i think i'm going to go with springs for now. just waiting for my guy to call me with a price on springs. i have stillen's rear toe / cambers kits waiting to be put on when the springs go on

the fronts are pretty flush, the rears actually could of been a tad more aggressive, but they look good. i may be glad they're not more aggressive once it's lowered
