There is a cars and coffee this weekend and I'm going to look for some g owners. I saw a few really nice cars last year but so far I didn't see any of them return.
I really can't see spending 65k on a toy such as a vette so maybe I'll just go with something like a nismo 370z or something.

I guess ill try to add some type of something to this.
What you can try to do is contact one of the companies that make the body kits ( mind u not major brands) They usually have a mock G35 that they mold on and can work with u to make a custom body kit and ship it to you or u can ship ur G there. If they ship it to you u just need to find a good body shop. they will install and paint the body kit. This wont be cheap as you want a fully custom body kit + paint etc will probably run u close to 20k maybe a bit more.
U can always contact the maker of that vaydor body mod http://www.vaydor.com/ I personally like my "stock" G35 but to each his own. maybe he can price u something.
Next is either the interior or engine/suspension etc. U can shop around for this no problem most shops can do it. if u wanted a Vette u can even get a LS engine swap but i dont know how legal that is in PA. u might want to go with a built VQ which will produce less power and cost a nice bit of money. but from what u said prior it appears u just want looks more than power
So interior im sure there is a shop or 2 around NJ and NY that can do it maybe one in philly. Get u wrapped dash etc along with some leather seats. or u can just go for some nice recaro seats.
All of this is alot more work than its worth, and that u are most likely willing to actually undertake ( we have all seen this type of post plenty of times and 9/10 times if not more it was just a pipe dream that never came to be and was never properly researched)
SO like people said better off to just buy the Vette or something with work already done with it and just get a nice paint job on it and be happy.

Where are you from????? Also, the car that Buddie posted is one of the MOST WELL KNOWN G35's here... If I had the money I would do it... My car is right up there (not trying to boast) with being modded... I will have all of it done end of the year, but you dont want to know what I have spent, and how much time I have personally put into my build. Im in it HUNDREDS of hours and 2 years... But it will be 600-650 hp... When pricing everything out look at it like this... Engine some spend 3k total... Bolt ons if you get ARC parts 8k... Interior for a fully custom one your looking 4-10k... Full bodykit and paint 2-15k depends if you do a widebodykit, or a cheapo one... But when paint is added in its pricy. Wheels and Suspension 2-8k... Depends on coils or springs godspeed or SPL Vossen or Volk.... Everything has a price tag. Something that will compete and take shows... have fun hahahahaha.....

Looks like I found a place about 1.5 hours from me in York PA. If I decide to move forward I will be contacting them.

I'm not looking to compete in car shows, just something that I can take to a car show if I wanted to and be like yep, pretty sweet.

It's a story
All performance and suspension n control.. cosmetic after
I'm getting to the point in my life where I want a cool car to drive on the weekends. I couldn't decide between a new C7 vette, or something else.
I've been driving Infiniti G35x & G37x sedans for over 10 years now. So one day I just google search "modified g35 or g37" and a lot of cool custom Gs pop up.
Problem is, I don't want to do this type of work myself, nor do I have the tools, shop, experience, of doing any type of custom work.
I would say I would have about $40-50K to buy an older used G and customize it with a full body kit and repaint to get started. Maybe a custom interior or maybe a complete engine replacement/overhaul.
So just by watching TV, westcoast does body, engine, alterations, paint, etc. Are there any shops like that in the PA/NJ area that do the same? Just go in, say this is what I want and let them go to town.
