For other tech info, TSB, recalls, etc etc.. Not just modding. To see if anyone else has some of the problems I've had. (weird noise, etc. etc).

G35"Driver"... Not G35"Ricers"...

Although, I am getting a catch tank and the only other mod I did was the JDM battery cover. Not really into body kits and warm air intakes.

The G's are classy looking cars in my opinion, so if you're going to mod your whip, you should at least try to maintain the classiness that the designers at Infiniti conjured up. Some mods can look totally tacky, but definitely not all. I'm really picky about whatever I do to my car because it's all about the class (and of course performance) — I'd say most people who can afford a G3x have a taste level high enough to act the same way.

all i can say is you gotta pay to play. Proper aftermarket parts need to installed to maintain the upper class look and style of the G. Otherwise modding only increases personal enjoyment, so honestly who cares what other people think. Cheap parts will cheapen the car, common sense.

Lol.

But good point. I just think it has to do with taste. Some people have good taste. Some don't. It's kinda like people who wear sweat pants to go to the mall.

taste is a slippery slope

whenever you question taste around here you are called a "hater", thats the word people who spent on a ton of money on something awful use when you call them out on it..lol

and you get people with "gangsta" and a dollar sign in their username whose car says "illest" on the windsheild following you around the interwebz

I could post similar examples of coupes and FXs all day long...
When you use the word rice, are you referring to how they mod in Japan or any of the countries on the pacific rim? What does the word RICE really mean? I enjoyed seeing Marcus's shoot, he's very talented. All those sedans were well modded with the exception of a few small details I dislike. Stretched tires where the rim sticks past the tire and inch or more. I saw Mexicans doing that to their mini-trucks 20 years ago.... Modding our Infiniti's or any vehicle is a matter of taste, like I've mentioned before some members are lacking in that area....they don't got it!
