Those look great. How much and from where? Any plans to plasti-dip the other default chrome? And how did you do those black wheels?

I bought the snap on handle covers from EBay $55 then saw them later on Ali Express for Like $28. The rest of the chrome I’m fine with. This is a 2017 QX70 Limited so the wheels come like that. I added the stubby antenna that says QX70 on it , stainless steel pedals , LED INTERIOR LIGHTS , and LED plate lights , the side decal near rear window and ordered carbon fiber dash kit. Oh and welcome light on door that shines on the ground INFINITI
 
I have Black 2012 FX35 w/Deluxe Touring so have factory aluminum pedals. The QX70 limited didn't?? A month ago I realized ow easy it was to upgrade so many things myself (Thamkns YouTubers!). So I just in the last month:
  1. Blacked out the rear emblems, side vents, and bottom chrome strip w/Plasti-Dip
  2. Upgraded every interior light inside to LED, including the always-on glove compartment light
  3. Replaced all 4 bottom door welcome lights w/those same super cool Infiniti logo lights
  4. Replaced the back up lights, license plate lights, and the fog lights with way better super white LED bulbs
  5. Replaced the cabin filter
  6. Replaced the 4 black plastic console knobs w/nice machined aluminum knobs
Everything above from Amazon except for the aluminum console knobs.

Where did you get the stubby antenna? I really wanted to replace the top antenna w/a shark fin but the ones less than $30 on Amazon actaull yaren't big enough to cover existing roof antenna housing. Also curious to see your carbon fiber console trim when you get that in.
 
Yea my limited only had plain looking pedals ! Yea you did all the good stuff! I forgot I do have the stainless steel knobs ! I took them out our 2009 FX after I crashed it and put them in this car and those look way better than factory tiny black rubber ones. I will check where I bought the antenna today and let you know
 
I can’t find my exact stubby intenna where I purchased but you can find them on Amazon , Ali Express etc. when that dash kit gets here I will post you some pics ! Good Day !
 
I still have big list of other easy FX upgrades from Amazon. At the bottom is a cheap fiberglass sticker that I added a placeholder for finding something that isn't just a sticker, lol.

You have any links for the antennae and the start button? I have found a few, but the buttons I’ve found specifically say they won’t work on QX70.
I’ve also read that most of the shark fin antennas won’t fit.
 
You're right that the pic in my post above of shark fin does not fit, despite the descritopion on Amazon claiming it does. But this larger and more expensive one should:

The inner housing has be big to fit over the antennae like this:

This start button should work but I did not change mine b/c I didn't like that it covers up the outer lit ring:
