DILEMMA: To demod or not to demod??
DILEMMA: To demod or not to demod??
So I'm stuck in a dilemma..I am a 4th year college student literally working part-time at a bar to mod my g35 coupe
Well the time has come to graduate this june and me failing at doing well as an undergraduate leaves me couple years back trying to straighten up my resume to get into med school.
So, I will not have the time/money to keep up with the modding that I've been doing, not to mention my g is a bit eye-catching to cops (I got a tint + front license plate + speeding ticket at 84!!!! everyone was going 80+)
BUT I still can't imagine going back to the stock look.
I also have a few things I need to get worked out asap:
BC coilovers & SPL Upper A arms: I bought them new few months ago but need to install asap unless I decide to demod, as my shocks might go out soon on my 350z h-techs and my tires will soon show camber wear.
Top Secret front bumper & Chargespeed rear bumpers: I have these for trade right now in the marketplace but need to decide whether to go back to stock bumpers or not.
Stuff I need to change soon: upgraded brake package, tint, exhaust?
I am basically worried I will not have the time and leisure to be caring for expensive mods I have done to my car (always washing, worrying someone might jack my rims or dent my bumpers, paying premium to have maintenance done, etc etc)
Mod list:
Clearcorners
GTR Overlays (headlights+tails)
Ionic grille
Top Secret front bumper
Chargespeed rear bumper
Volk 19" SF-Challenges in black w/ Toyo T1R
Injen Short ram intake
350z H-techs w/ springmount mod
SPC Rear camber arms
BC coilovers (new- waiting to be installed)
SPL A-arms (new- waiting to be installed)
SO I need to decide whether to demod everything and drive my g35 stock for a couple more years and not "worry" about my car too much, or to continue with the modding and worry about the problems when it comes up.
I know the responses I'll get asking this on a car enthusiast forum, but help me out guys with some good reasoning. Keep in mind I'll have all the parts on sale if you persuade me to demod lol

hmm..i'd say to put any additional modding on hold but dont go to the extreme of demodding. why demod now if theres a possibility youre going to mod everything again in the future? thats a waste of time and money. just change your tint and slap a front license plate on there
Install the coilovers/a arms and let it alone for a while, concentrate on school
and increasing your GPA. When you're an MD driving your Lambo you'll look
back on this and LYAO....

yeah leave the car as is. Doesnt cost you anything to keep the current mods.
If anything, IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO, sell the new parts you got that you havnt installed.
and dont worry so much about upkeep. Cars get dirty lol, it doesnt kill them. Get wheel locks, dont worry about dents I have plenty lol. and Find cheaper service, or do it yourself. lol problem solved. and dont worry so much about the car in general, just go with the flow, and if something goes wrong thats what you have your stock parts for right? RIGHT?! lol
