I'd say the only cheap mods that'll make any power is a plenum spacer and test pipes. You can go for handling instead of power... there are plenty of reasonably priced options there...

then there should be a sticker on the other side that says sorry, I'm too broke to make the car faster any other way.

Unless you're into fat chicks, I wouldn't be too concerned...

What makes you think I’m "concerned"... a guy wants to be faster – another guy says his no fat chick’s keeps weight off his car which equals better performance – and I say he should have a sticker that states his no fat chicks sticker is his cheap way to do a performance mod…

What part don’t you get??? And what part confuses so much that you think I’m “concerned”??? Why in the world would I care?... I think its a joke that the guy is almost stock ride height and has a sticker like that... it doesn’t mean I'm protecting fat chicks - it means he needs to take a look around to see what a lowered car really looks like.

Oh, I didn't notice that he wasn't lowered... I thought someone else brought up the sticker?

he is less than moderately lowered... a very, very mild drop... not anywhere near scraping even with 4 fat chicks in the back... the sticker basically doesn’t make sense - or at the very least is enough to get made fun of.

Drop the thing on air bags and slam it - then the sticker would make sense (even though I still think it’s stupid).

If you have the ***** to put a sticker like that on your 4X4 sedan, then you've got to have thick enough skin to hear/read the truth about it.

Hey, like I said... if he doesn't care about fat chicks, then it's all good... might wanna look out for key scratches here and there though...

NA mods on a G35 are worthless. Upgrade your suspension and drivetrain if you don't want to spend mega $$
