DIY for you g35 19s guys who want centercaps
i dont have pix of how i did the whole process but i have pix the wheels with my center caps on!
things you need
-Lexus caps
-original g35 caps from the 19s
-dremel
-file
-epoxy ( i used the kind where you mix 2 in 2 differ tubes)
- latex gloves ( you dont want that ***** all over your hands)
- some sort of industrial type glove to protect your hands from the dremel and some protective eye wear!
1. take the lexus caps and break off all the tabs and dremel everything down till there is nothing left on the back of the cap.
2. then file down the rest once you get close to the back of the caps b/c the dremel will take alot more then you want off! so be careful.
3. dremel down the infiniti cap to get the indention's of the infiniti logo down.
4. put the latex gloves on so you dont get the epoxy on your hands. i applied the epoxy mix compound to the on the infinti cap , then mixed it up on there. then i applied that cap to the back of the lexus cap. But center it and let it dry. For a few hours or however long it takes to cure!
and once it cures snap those bad boys on your ray forged 19s and BAM you gots some balla looking wheels
yes yes i got some curbage forgive me
but its ok i still like my wheels!!

thanks guys. i saw some guy in the thread about g35 wheels did it but he did it differ then me. he just broke some tabs off. mine did not look like his from the back. i broke some tabs off and try to make it fit but no bueno. so i took the infiniti cap and stuck it up behind the lexus cap to see how much bigger the lexus cap was. Then it just hit me. BREAK ALL THE tabs on the lexus cap and epoxy everything together. man thank god i worked at FMC technologies they had all the junk i needed to make these caps lol
now someone sell me there damn TTE lip!!
