2016 QX70 RWD Iridium Blue
Name
Jim
I have wanted a FX35/37 for quite a while but I had trouble finding a good used one in Iridium Blue. I found a great deal on an 8 month old base model, $29,000, with 15,000 miles and I have owned it since December, 2016.

I was searching for where to buy an aftermarket front spoiler I had seen on an FX37 on Autotrader and was having little success. I kept putting 2016 in the query for the searches and nothing would come up. Eventually I figured out all these Aero parts are Infinity OEM items but listed only for 2009/2010. Then I came across your site!

Nice to see all the different versions of FX and QX models and everyone's different styles. I ordered my front spoiler, door molding and sill protector from my dealer today. I also ordered a lower rear diffuser and lower rear air dam from ebay. I will check out more garages soon and will eventually add my pictures when I get my pieces installed.

As for me I am probably one of your older members at 59. I was stuck driving a mini van for too long and a nice, but ordinary, Murano for the last few years. So I am sort of treating myself with this car, body upgrades and eventual new wheels and tires. It will be nice to get members opinions on these upgrades when I go to install them.

I started car racing at the age of 12, driving Porsche 917s, McLarens and TI-22 Can am cars. Oh wait, did I forget to mention they were 1/24 slot cars? I raced all over the east coast as well as in Switzerland and Austria in the 1970's and 1980's. Any other old slot racers out there?

I like the Yankees, Miami Heat, Green day, Elvis Costello and foosball.

Now I live in south Florida and have a small manufacturing company selling high performance slot car controllers here in the USA and abroad.

Thanks for all the future help!

Jim

Welcome to the site. Just for a heads up they do not sell the kit in Iridium blue. It has to be repainted. What color did you order?
 
RIPnFX, I ordered the parts in black as I thought this would be the best color to paint over. I was also thinking of maybe leaving the side pieces gloss black and doing the wheel arches in gloss black as well as the rear bumper in gloss where it shows over the diffuser. Sort of carry the gloss black around the entire car.

Unfortunately ebay just said my diffuser is not available anymore! Help! Anyone know of another diffuser that is sold anywhere? Or maybe a different treatment for the rear bumper? Maybe one from a person who never finished their upgrade project or used? I like the Infinity Aero rear but not as much as the one I had on ebay.

By the way RIPnFX, I love what you did on the door handles and trim of your car. Outstanding.

Thanks, Jim
 
Whew, I am getting my rear diffuser after all. Somehow ebay sent me a notice that it was not available anymore. After contacting the seller he said that was not the case and it shipped yesterday.
