What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Well...installed the Aero body kit about a week ago, and bought FX50S 21's which are on the way. So that makes the list as follows:

Full LED's in and out
vinyl wrapped door moldings and rear chrome
20mm H&R spacers
aero kit
21" FX50S wheels
tinted fronts and tail lights


To do -

wrap the wood on doors and center console
sound deaden the doors
 
I was overly stressed this last weekend and did some random projects and tinkering as stress relief.
So, I put on my dancing shoes and took some fun pictures.
I was never serious about these wheels from the beginning and they are not at all my style. But what the hell, I like fun! :)
I really thought they would look horrible, but seeing them on, I kind of like them in a stupid silly way. If was willing to lower my ride, I might keep them. Regardless, they're not "me", and they'll be for sale whenever I get around to it.

What do you think? Let the donk comments roll. I'm laughing right along with it.

Stock suspension
No spacers
Same overall circumference as OEM
24x10, +13

Pork that is hilarious in its own terrible little way...

Glad you are not serious about keeping them, they are wayyyy too much.
 
Yike, not the pork I'm imagine. Definitely need to be lower to have any consideration. Way too much blinks even then.
 
It kinda looks alright. I see what you mean. Keep it for a bit. When I first saw it, loud thumping music started playing in my head. Shake ya ass, watch ya'self,..show me what you're worth.

Big day for Black Mamba...

Replaced TPMS Sensor that died during -15F days
Oil Change
Differential and Transfer Case Fluid replacement
Drive Belts Replaced
Cabin Air Filter Replaced
Transmission Flush and Fill
Coolant Flush and Fill

Next on the list, replacing the outer tie rods and apparently need to look into Valve Cover Gaskets as well.

Plus side, I had a 20 minute conversation with two of their techs about all the "add-ons" on my ride with a "this is the nicest FX I've ever worked on" comment. :)

Good day... An expensive one most likely too.

I have to do like half those same things. :disapointed:
 
All the fun is over. As it turns out, I'm not ready for such a drastic lifestyle change.
Now as soon as Andy or Zebra pick the ROTM theme as Gangsta, I'll put them back on.
Surprisingly, those rubber bands didn't feel so bad on my kidneys like I thought they might. In fact, I could hardly tell a difference at all, although I didn't hit any rough roads. I did feel more steering wheel shake at low speeds and it started around 20 mph. Nothing horribly drastic or too concerning.
But I must say, after putting my comfortable sneakers back on, it sure was fun to zip around corners again.

Thank you to all for your comments. I really enjoyed the temporary switch.

Wow, that's a long list and I bet the bill can get you 3 GTR wheels already. Surprise to hear your valve cover is leaky already. Is it on both side? Mind as well change out the spark plugs when you change the valve cover.
 
Hopefully, you doing most of it yourself...
