So make sure that is in your budget.

I'm planning to go only a max 1/2" lower then I am currently (I've already got a decent drop). I've got rear toe boots and camber arms already and will reuse these. For the front, I've got Z1 arms in the event that I need them--if not, I'm going to sell them unused. Currently I am barely out of camber spec in the front, so, another half inch will make that a tad worse, but not sure if it's worth getting rid of the oem arms.

The coilovers and the body paint are the last of my current budget for the G--I've done a lot this year already! Will likely do a dd radio next year....

Picking up some chrome coupe rays 19s for a 100.00 this weekend. They need some work so they will be refinished and painted. What color is the question. Hmmm

My main driver in all of this is that my long time mechanic, who is the lead tech at our local Nissan dealership, decided to move from MD to TX, so, between now and Sept I need to get all of the mechanical work done on the car! I'm pretty pissed at him, as you might imagine

Sadly, when I asked him to hook me up with another tech when he leaves, he said they all suck! LOL! Doesn't give you much confidence taking your car into the dealership.

[QUOTE=Conissah;7106347]Wrapped some of my interior pieces with 3m Satin Metallic Grey and painted the steering wheel controls and the shifter boot ring.



[/QUOTE

Has anyone wrapped the dash as opposed to replacing it due to cracking? I understand the passenger air bag would be an issue. Mine is cracked in all spots. Thanks

I would think the "pebbly" surface would make it hard for the wrap to hold well much less look good but who knows. I haven't seen anyone on here do it, dash covers have been used though that look pretty good.

Thanks. I'm still looking for one that looks ok. It's the only issue with my coupes interior that I can not clean up / repair.

Meh. I just live with the crack at the aluminum bar, it is what it is. Tinting the front windshield was well worth it in my opinion.

I can understand that. I ordered new headlight bulbs and a demon eye kit for the headlights from Diode Dynamics... my inner ricer is excited for the headlight upgrades when I return home in a couple of weeks.

"What did you do..." what did I buy rather...

Diode Dynamics RGBW Demon eyes and new XB 5500K bulbs from Morimoto direct.

They both had Memorial Day sales, so it was totally necessary to buy them!

I'll post pics when I get home in a few weeks.

usually the cracks on the dash are thin and you don't feel a ridge when you pass your finger through it, if that's the case a vinyl or leather material will be thin enough to make it look new again, my dash isn't cracked but next year I wanna customize it by getting it wrapped with black vinyl (looks just like leather) with red stitching on the edge
