Wow people have rediculous lists. Got my 35 in February and started modding in June.
Things done so far:
Clear corners w/ black housing

06 projectors
Full interior LED
Got my stock 17s powdercoated (for free
)
Debadged
Powdercoated front grill black
BC Coilovers
ART pipes
Shockwave TDXV2
Next years mods:
75k maintenance
Stillen or momentum intake
DC headers
Transgo shiftkit
Tune
Xxr526
Retint
Professional detail
Black suade headliner
Shift **** and boot
Double din
Strafespeed trunk
But then again my new years resolution is to put less money into my G, well see how that turns out hahahaha

I am scared to add mine but 6 figures wouldn't really surprise me
This year: please note no mods were planned at all for this year, I was going to tear down the 3.8L and possibly get some machine work done if I had time I was going to reassemble it.
Fully rebuilt and rebalanced 3.8L engine, no F'N around this time everything was checked and double checked right down to bolt stretch.
Project Mu BBK
Wingless trunk
CS style rear bumper
SFR 3:1 tank replacing the two ARC tanks I bought this year
Burnt Ti nismo shift **** to replace TK one
Burnt Ti ARC cooling plate.
Rebuilt tranny.....with a F'ed 5th gear(hard to roll street bikes on the hiway with no 5th
)Polished barrels on wheels (were color matched before)
Got a bit of retune that is still not complete?
An ARC oil cooler still haven't installed it.
Richie strut bar
JDM tail lights
Project Mu lug nuts
JDM double din kit
Forgot to add, also got an Iconic grill to show off the ARC oil cooler
Whiteline compression rod bushings
ARC oil cap
new centre caps for the wheels
and finally I also added an APS oil pan.
old rear shot
new rear shot
painted barrels/ old BBK/old centre caps/old lugs
Polished barrels new centre caps/new BBK with new lugs
Old engine bay
Old engine bay with ARC catch can
Latest engine bay....brutal picture and nothing had been polished/cleaned since the engine install. I am just filling the coolant after engine install in this picture, I should try to get a new picture that does the new set up more justice.
Old shift **** vs new one, the flash kills the purple blue tint to the new Nismo Ti ****
Next year:
Finish tune, get launch control working, traction control, flat shifting ect ect
Possibly a triple plate clutch and a tranny with working 5th gear
Some 18" wheels with Mickey Thompson ET streets
New wing from Slammered-inc
Paint the poor matching rear bumper at the same time as the trunk
Possibly a new front bumper maybe side skirts
Thinking about a 3" exhaust maybe a custom made one

$15k in mods. Incredible. You could buy ANOTHER 6MT coupe for that. Or you could have put that into a better car. I know you guys love these dress up mods. I just don't get it. I guess I'm more of a function over form kind of guy. You pimpers seem to be the exact opposite. Nothing wrong with it. I just don't swing that way.

I'm thorougly impressed by some of your lists.
Owned my '05 G Sedan since August 2011.
Mods so far:
Z Tube
JWT Pop Charger
18'' Staggered G37s rims
Replica clear corners
Interior LED bulbs
6000k HID bulbs
Suntek Carbon Window Film (35% front, 18% rear)
Razo A/T Quick Shift ****
Debadged "I N F I N I T I"
For 2012:
5/16'' Plenum Spacer
Tein S Techs
Emblemless black front grill
Front lip
GPS mounted in cubby
Don't see much modding past that. Trying to save for other things in life makes it difficult to mod as much as you guys!
