From DP to Beryllium and everything in between

I wanted to hold off until I had a proper shoot but my friend is too busy. Wanted to share the work I did since I got my G.
Im an auto body tech/painter and did all this work myself.

Started off as reg non aero 03.5 sedan



Then did some marble paint on the interior just to try something different. While it was apart I went Double din.




This summer I went deep black and got rid of the marble, also added Nismo Ti ****



Ripped the whole car apart in the spring for color change, new pads and rotors, Motordyne 5/16" spacer, Z tube, rev-up airbox, HR Y pipe and Stillen sways.











Finished it off with a Factory aero kit, new tails, shaved grill, shaved deck lid, and black headlamp housings.








Thanks for looking.

Love the color, ride looks dope! Guess if I ever do a color change I can't do Beryllium now.

Any reason why you didn't get rid of the side moldings?

Plans for wheels?

No doubt it looks better without them but they will save the door from dents so I sacrificed looks for protection.

Wheels if and when would probably be Nismo wheels like yours but black ( i think anyhow). Im a Nissan/factory parts guy all the way.
