The brake pedal was pressed. The angle of shot is too low to see the brake pedal. The shot was taken during the day also.

The tips are Mode Parfume. The actual exhaust cans I'm running are Carson Tuned.

Thanks. I'm just trying to get an idea of how bright these are compared to my SONAR lights. The SONAR lights are bright at night, but not so in the morning. I was hoping with these having more LEDs, they would be brighter in the daytime. Hopefully I see after you post some night shots.

I haven't seen any LED tails for the GS brighter than the Sonars. They are about on par with OEM LED tails on other cars.

The G35 style LED tails I had before my current ones were brighter than the sonar and the ones I currently have. I had the sonar lights before these 2 version of LED tail lights. The only reason why I went with the new style is for the look.

I did a few changes to the car.

Painted the front and rear calipers tangerine pearl.

Changed out my air suspension. I'm no longer on bags, but on coilovers using the Exotic Air lifter system.

I also went to a smaller tank and decided to do a plaid scheme on the tank.







Car all the way up.


All the way down at driving height. I couldn't go any lower or I wouldn't be able to turn.

I did the tank like that just to try something out different. Looks better in person than pictures.

Thomas, I haven't redone the exhaust yet, but the pics you sent me helped me figure out what I need to do. True I do need the LED lower lights.
