World's first G35 sedan to coupe front-end conversion

I finally did it. Spent 3+ weeks without my car, way too much money, and lots of stress... but it was all worth it.

Sorry, missing pics of the actual work. There was a lot of cutting, welding and fiberglassing.

What was done:

- Custom-made coupe fenders
- Coupe hood
- Top Secret front bumper
- Custom-made coupe grille
- 06 projector headlights painted black (not finished )
- Custom widened rear fenders by 1.5"
- Wald side skirts and rear lip, both molded in
- Blacked out all the chrome moldings
- Shaved door moldings and trunk
- Black roof and mirror bracket
- Car repainted Caribbean Blue with metallic flakes
- Wheels powdercoated Anthracite and using 25/30mm Kics Project spacers

That's about it.


Pics added on page 10.
