    Default 04 G35 Coupe

    So, as some of you may know; I got rid of the Civic and picked up this 04' G35. So far all I have done is removed all the emblems,washed and waxed, changed hid bulbs to 30000k (ricey I know), had windows tinted 15%, oil change, and I just picked up some G35 rays stock 19" wheels. For those of you who don't know what they are this is a picture them. They weigh 19 lbs a piece for the fronts 20 for the backs (staggered)





    Anyways, the plans in the immediate future are nismo bumper already painted brilliant silver with cf ducts and cf lip, have rims/tires installed (purchasing tires this week), and getting some 350z tien s techs.


    Here are a few pictures of how she looks now. Comments criticism?


    I LOVE this one because there is no more ghost lettering





    The rest:









    Sorry for the photos, taken with a iPhone 4S

    I think he is talking about your brake caliper covers. But I could be wrong, good luck on your project.

    Most say this, I like them though. And no offense to you or anyone but I'm building this car for me not the way everyone else likes it. They probably won't stay on there long though because they don't light the road up for shit. I'll get some 10-12k soon (way less extreme)

    I don't see anything wrong with your car or lights. It'll look great with those new wheels and a drop. I think silver looks good with some black, but if it's not your thing, no use in spending time or money on it.


    Definitely love the G/Zs!

    No I meant the bulbs guys, they are 30000k and produce a purple light which doesn't light the road up. I may plasti dip the new wheels and see if I like it then powder coat them in the future. They will be silver for now though. And thanks I love it, huge upgrade from the civic

    6K bulbs, a nice drop, and a front lip will set this car right.....strictly my opinion though.

    Not keeping these wheels so I'm not gonna drop money on spacers. Getting some 9 and 10 inch wide wheels this weekend (straight up trade), while I save for my 9.5 and 10.5 inch wide wheels.

    But you're right if I was keeping these I would get 25mm all around

    Looks good dude, i'm sure i've met you at Mike's shop. I drive the silverstone 350 with XXRs.

    Need to buff the headlights! I can bring my kit to Mike's if you want to do it there, if he doesnt already have a kit.

    It wont completely eradicate the haze, but it'll keep it off for a few months. Need to get it recleared to keep it crisp. Talk to Ruben (Retrolit) or Liz (Kizuna)

    I believe their prices are comparable, as is the work quality. Up to you, to be honest.
