Wow, thanks everyone for the comments! I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! I think it is just aggressive enough yet still keeps that smooth and sophisticated look that I think we all love our Gs for. The black trim is the ol home depot splitter. I see several parking garages a week and I wanted to protect the new front as much as possible and I think it kind of finishes of the look which is a welcome second benefit. I am feeling all the comments on a drop and rims but I am taking my time trying to find a good deal and just the right look. I don't want to rush it haha. Thanks again everyone for taking time to check out my pics and for posting up the love, means alot guys. If anyone has any good recommendations on a coilover system hit me up, I am feeling overwhelmed with all the options, thanks and see you on the Tollway buds!

That is the only bumper I am considering putting on my car! Very nice.

As far as coilovers, what are you going to be doing with your car? Daily Driver, weekend ride, track duty on weekends, more serious track time etc ?

Coilovers would need to be decent for daily driving, I don't mind it being a little stiffer, however I am quite a spirited driver so I want to see a definate improvement. I came from an Integra Type R and as much as I love the new G ride, it feels like a boat in the twistys. I am thinking maybe sways and a bar first but I want whatever will give the most improvement to be the next mod. Thanks again for looking!

Without a doubt get a set of sway bars as your next mod then. I got the Hotchkis adjustable sway bars and the difference was night and day! Try that and then go from there. Good luck!

Ya man, tell me about it! Coming from a lowered stiff Honda Prelude, the G felt like a boat ride on some curves.
In comes 275 wide tires in the rear and it seems to have disappeared.

Btw, TheDizzle, nice nismo front! I got the same!

Man this is KILLING me.. I'm waiting for my K2 bumper and Impul Sideskirts and you have to post THIS... GREAT LOOK.. Really clean and classy.. Love the chrome grille on yours.. I just painted mine black, but I think yours really looks nice Chrome.. I plan to paint my stock 18s black as well and use them for winter wheels to save my rims for good weather.. I think that's a good mean look..

Looks Great!! Nismo bumper is definitely on the horizon for me (gotta finish my brake setup first)

Two questions: what do you do if you need to be towed? and what shop did the paint/install?
