I'll start one in the DFW section when I get some parts in. There won't be much progression because I will probably do everything in two big "modding" sessions. I have ordered all the visual mods, and just need to install them when they come in. In the next year, I am going to do all the performance stuff once I make sure there are no issues with the car. I am just planning on doing all APR stuff at once (tune, pulley, intake, exhaust, coolant separator, and radiator).

The way I look at it is, all the mods I am selling from the G will more than pay for the visual mods I am doing now, and I will save up over the next 6-12 months for the APR stuff. I am pretty damn impatient, so it will be interesting to see how long I can hold out on the APR stuff....

I did decide to just go with the CF rear diffuser I posted a pic of earlier. This will allow me to go back to stock if needed. Now I just need to decide what to do about the window trim, and I am completely done. It will take me the next month to get the parts in and get everything installed though. Some of the parts (grill) are on back order....

On another note, I just ordered tires. Went with the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports. These are pretty much the replacements for the PS2's, and so far I have heard really good things about them. They are more expensive than what I normally spend on tires, but I went cheap on the wheels so I decided to splurge on tires. They also have a 30k mile warranty that is nice, and pretty much unheard of for a tire like this....

I went ahead and ordered the tires because I was already at Discount tire picking up one of my wheels. They sent it out to Wheels Technologies for repair, and they did a great job. I had some curb rash on one wheel and I was worried about how it would turn out (the Advan lips are anodized), but it looks perfect. Very happy and impressed (so far) with the job they did.

Most likely that is what I am going to do. Just need to find someone that can do it, or I may buy a roll and try it myself. I know it would be a learning process, but it is something I wouldn't mind learning to do.... If I fail miserably, I can just take it to someone....

What do you need to wrap on the G? I didn't think there was much trim to wrap on the coupe?

its actually pretty easy, just have to make sure you buy some good quality vinyl...its easily picked up and layed back down. Stretches when you apply heat. You can honestly get on youtube and figure it out just by looking. Get your self an old credit card, hair dryer with box cuter, and your all set For the trim you'll probably have to make somewhat of an outline
