I ended up getting my kit from Troy also. How much did you pay to get it painted iridium blue? I haven't started looking around for quotes yet.
 
Got the lip put on this morning along with the front windows tinted to match rears. Very happy with the results. Took only an hour and a half total. Great shop I found in Nashville called Titan Motoring. Next up is wheels and tires. Still trying to find something I like and the pros/cons of 20 vs. 22.

I'm partial to my 22" wheels, but I'm partial to the visual appeal and increased handling. I put this together for ya:

22" Pros:

  • Change in aesthetic; aggressive styling and fills up the wheel well
  • Better overall handling

22" Cons
  • Increased rotational mass can equate to a slight decrease in throttle responsiveness (if forged, not so much)
  • Increased likelihood of curb damage due to the reduced tire profile
  • Tires are more expensive and can be difficult to replace quickly if damaged
  • Decreased performance during the winter months (if you experience snow), as a smaller, narrower tire will have better traction
  • Significantly more expensive to replace if wheel is beyond repair
  • Decreased fuel economy (rotational mass, larger cross section = more drag)
  • Speedometer may not read accurately (depends on how your ECU is programmed)
  • Increased susceptibility of damage due to poorly maintained roads (...or hitting that speedbump to fast!)

20" Pros
  • Decrease in rotational mass gives you an increase in throttle response
  • Softer ride due to tires typically having larger profiles
  • Much larger selection of vendors from which to choose
  • Much more affordable than their larger counterparts
  • Increased fuel economy
  • Better inertial responsiveness due to larger profile tires (e.g. poorly maintained roads, speedbumps)

20" Cons
  • Handling is not as crisp as 22s"
  • Aesthetically not as appealing (my opinion as the 20" proponents will argue the contrary)

Nice congrats...how much did u end up paying??? I'm getting the whole kit painted, installed and respraying my front bumper with plate bracket removed for $900...included in the price he is removing a handful of small sratches around the body of the car that come off with either light compound or light wet sand... So when i pick it up she will be 99% perfect. Wont be 100% due to the fact that i have a small scratch on one of the doors that went down to the metal and dont want to pay to get the door resprayed..I'm very particular with my cars so i know every imperfection on the car.

I just checked there is no part number on the mats. The reason they can't find them is because Infiniti doesn't mass produce those mats as they are on a limited production LE model.
 
Sorry that i havent had the time to put up the pics of my truck since i got the kit installed... But im also in the process of doing more upgrades to it so i might as well waiti till this round of upgrades is over so everyone can see some differences...i put the 4300 morimoto hid's in the fogs, this weekend truck goes in for new tints. Next week im hoping to receive my paddles and steering column cover so i can install the paddle shifters. And while the center console is taken apart im going to install the video module so i can play movies off my main screen. Illuminating kick pannels have been waiting to go in and will have them done at the same time as rest of interior work. Led interior and led plate lights will be done same day.. So i have much going on with the new toy.

Rip i got the mats from the dealership just took them some time to research the part numbers but got a crispy fresh new set of le mats
 
quick note to international folks who want the oem aerokit - courtesy nissan can get hold of them and sell at the standard msrp + shipping. i'm about to get my kit in malbec black!
