Yo Gdrivers , Im matt,

Yeah so I was going to buy a mustang gt(i seriously know everything about them, my VQ knowledge isnt as vast) but decided the v8 was not a good idea so I just got a 05 black G coupe 6 speed 40k miles, yeah its sick I love it more than anything. Well I want to do some appearance mods. So i was thinking first to get rid of the amber corners and put some clears there, then I want to put the skyline 350gt labels in the back I dont want to put the Nissan emblem tho I think thats too much, but i will debadge the infiniti emblem.

A question I have is since my car is black I would like to black out the grill, would it work to take it to a body/paint shop and see if they could paint the chrome grill, except for the infiniti emblem. I think it would look pretty sick and maybe be cheaper then getting a new grill.

 

Its been done. Looks pretty good. I'd say do it yourself. Its pretty easy and with the amount of rock chips the front of the car gets, you'll probably have to re spray it once or twice a year anyways. So might as well save your money and do it yourself.

Good choice on the G.

good choice

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread but i'm also a new G35 coupe owner. Its a 2004 6MT with 30,000 miles on it. I want to change the rear pads as the dealer said they are almost gone(I have stock brembos) and i also want to change the transmission fluid, rear diff and oil. The dealer already changed the belts. So what i'd like to know is, are there any jacks and stands you all recommend for me. I live in a condo and I park in a parking deck but the only place i can actually do this is in the car wash area which is flat. I was thinking one of these since i have amazon prime.

What about a jack? Any recommendations for one that works well with this car?

Thanks in advance

 

50 doesnt sound bad at all since I do not want to take the chance to screw it up, Do you have any guess how long it may take?

 

it took them almost 5 hours to do mine... the longest part was the waiting in between coats and drying
