Need ideas for a new look on G

I currently have a 07 DG G coupe with tint, clear corners, and about to put on bluebat gtr overlays on taillights. I like the clean looks for G, so any change I do should be subtle enough so ppl won't think my car is too ricey. I have tons of speedbumps at my apt complex, so until I get my own house, I'll need to keep my car at stock height. All ideas are welcome.

You could change / modify your stock grille; either paint it black, get the emblem-less grille, or gialla grille from Ionic. You could also get your roof and rear diffuser professionally painted black or get an overlay for them.

Don't be a pu**y and go ahead and lower your G. A lowered G can handle speedbumps. It's ~200 and a great DIY.

Agreed. Blacked out lights are the cheapest, quickest, easiest way to make your car look like ****.

Buy a shift boot from Locksmith, top notch get up.

Paint your grille black for sure, you could paint your roof black or vinyl it, you could get the OEM lip, as blkonblk said, paint the inside of your headlights, if you have side moldings pull them off, debadge the rear except for the Mt. Fuji you could get eyelids if you're into that kind of look. A lot of guys hate them, including myself from time to time but they can really change the look of the car. Especially with the OEM front lip.

hmm... painting the housing of the headlights... never thought of it... need to search for some pics for that. Do they even sell front lip spoiler for sports bumper? As for overlays, the reason I like them is that if I ever want to get back to the original looks or get harassed by cops (for taillights), I can always easily go back. Also, I don't know, for some reasons, I am getting used with looking at G with stock height... ... maybe I need to get new rims, they might look better with a drop...
