G35 wheels? On G35 17" wheels, the whole face of the spoke tapers out. You my friend, have 2nd Gen GS300 wheels.
16" GS300 wheel


17" G35 wheel


Logicalman- Where in WA are you located? You'll have to make it out to our meets sometime. We're having one this weekend, next weekend, and the following weekend.....so 3 in the next 3 weeks.....we try to get together quite a bit I guess. Scroll the "Pacific" section and say hi.

yea i was guessing they were from a GS3 but wasnt sure.

i dont think i can make it out to the first meets since i still got a long way to go but i'll try and make it out to the other ones.

well i'm finished with the driver side door and it looks way better.

Very very nice man, what do you plan on doing with the tan buttons? Are you gonna paint over those too or just find black replacements?

I'm painting over them. I would go try and find some black ones but I dont want to take the time looking and then end up finding really beat up ones or ones that dont work.

I'm actually dying the carpet and its soaking right now. I'm not sure its going to work but if it doesnt I'll just get some more SEM's

Yea I was kinda thinking of doing the same thing as you. As for the white text on the buttons and stuff what do you plan to do with that? Are you gonna just leave it all blank or custom draw on it?

I'm just going to paint over them. I covered what I could with tape and tried to cut out the shapes but they didnt come out to well LoL..

Does anybody know of a better way to save the white text?

If you could find somebody to cut a vinyl image small enough I'd think that'd be the most direct way to go. Maybe try using a paint brush and appropriate paint and paint it on by hand.

Forget the text, I tried everything to try to keep it and nothing really works. I even had vinyl text to replace it, but it just looks tacky. After I painted over them, and made it completely black, I was perfectly fine w/ the result. It actually looks pretty cool imo.

Anyways, looks like what I did when I first started modding my SC, I hated the tan too. I used foliatec instead of SEM though, Folia-tec is much better than SEM but so much harder to come by.
