Just saw a sneak peak of the commercial with my FX in it shot last year in LA. They only showed me 10 seconds but the best 10 second ever. The filming looks great and camera angles and of course love how they accented the sound of the car! Can't wait when it's official so I can share with the rest of .

Here are some pix I took with my phone while they were setting everything up ---> Commercial Samples

Looks good how many cans of paint did you use for the wheels

 

[GetLuckiFX]

Thanks guys.
I used 1 1/2 of primer, 2 1/2 of paint and 1 1/2 of clear coat.

H&R 25mm wheel spacers

Finally went wide and got some H&R 25mm spacers from Zebra! <---- Thanks

The installation is a breeze unless you end up with a stubborn caliper bolt that would just not budge. Finally after trying get it off manually it was time for some power tool that within 5 minutes had both sides off!
Followed the write up by fxlr8, so for those of you who want to do it, here it is: https://www.infinitiscene.com/search/1/?q=91-Wheel-Spacer-Install
Took time to clean up my wheel wells, suspension, brakes, calipers and rotors before putting it all back.
Some pix of the work in progress and comparison side by side.

Nice pics! What made you decide on DRS instead of DRM spacers? Didn't want to deal with the extra lugs? Most of us didn't want to go through what you did, lol.

 

[Ed@TunerStore]

Looking good!

LOL I guess I wanted an extra challenge. To be honest I really didn't have a preference, yes DRMs much easier to put on, but then I got a good deal on DRS and figured what the hell, how bad can that be? Well we all know how bad it got LOL. But at least I freaking steam cleaned everything while I pulled it all off. So end result, I'm happy with it.

So when you are getting coils? You've done just about everything you can do except coils, the most important one to do!

 

[DaveButcher]

Hey Adam, how do you steam clean the rotors? What do you use?

I have portable steamer. I didn't steam the rotors per say. Those I cleaned by hand and painted silver to match the spacers. I steamed cleaned the wheel wells, suspension and everything I could see Then just wiped it all down clean.
