Going to buy the ionic Gialla replica grill on my lakeshore blue 05' coupe. Should i get it painted black or get it painted OEM lakeshore blue? I have never seen either one and have no idea what it would look like but I like this grill a lot.
I have black 20's, tinted headlights, and blacked out taillights if that makes any difference....
Thanks for the input!!

A sticky page had some dyno tests that shows the spacer doing nothing. I know a new manifold will add some power but evey where i look it says to couple it with the spacer. im not sure if they just want to sell the spacers so they scam us to couple them or if the new manifold will greatly benifit from a spacer. If anyone has both mods let me know if the spacer is worth the $260

Here are some pics of my car so far. Duraflex bumper, Lorenzo WL27 staggered 19s, spyder black CCFL halo LED drl headlights, painted tailights GTR style, OEM rear wing, window tint, JL Audio 10w6 custom sealed enclosure, JL amp, Pioneer 7" 2din touchscreen headunit. I am stuck on whether to go for power and if so what to get or to continue with exterior. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Im starting researching my next set of mods and could use some advice. i have an 04 coupe A/T .
so far i have :
plenum spacer
z tube
invidia q300 exhaust
BC coilovers w/ spc camber front/rear
hotchkis sways
oem wheels w/ spacers
full body kit
full audio.
i know i want the jdm tail lights, and projector headlights (prob just oem 06's). but i was wondering what else would be worth it. its still a DD so i dont want to go FI yet (need another car before i do that). but i am looking to keep playing around with stuff. i talked to someone about a transgo possibly.
thanks !

Alright guys, looks like it's my turn. So just to fill you in, I just purchased an 04 G35 coupe 6MT black. Has 20" MSR wheels on it, brembo brakes, exhaust, intake, in dash double din. I'm just not sure on what brand everything is, and what to do next.
I'm not really big on performance, sure who doesn't like to go fast. But I'm more for looks, and I don't really like these rims on the car. I'm planning on debadging it soon. Either leaving the symbol on or taking that off as well. I would drop it a little to make it more flush, but when I drive on bumpy roads, I can feel my car hitting something. Sounds like the tire, everytime it bounces up and down. Not sure if this is the stock suspension, or if that needs upgrading.
I was reading around and I came across spacers, that's probably something I'm going to do next if not already done. How would I be able to check if this car already has them or not?
I'm also not sure what kind of front bumper/grill that is. But I'm thinking about changing that out also.
At this point if the spacers haven't already been put in the car, I'm not sure what else performance wise I would be able to do with around $600ish. So if there is anything noticablly different I could do, I'll do that. Otherwise I'm probably just going to go for amp/sub/speakers or body finishes here and there. Let me know guys, thanks!
Sorry for so many pictures, I just wanted to be clean about the car lol. Thanks for any info!
Edit: I was also thinking about doing my taillights. Since it's an 04, I was wondering if I could get projectors from like an 06 and fit them inside my car? Would it be easier to just go with the whole headlight at that point?

As for the headlights, I don't know the specifics on it but many people have swapped for 06 projectors w/ballasts so it shouldn't be too hard to find threads regarding this.

Whats goin on? I have a 04 6MT I have a full stillen exhaust, headers, and cold air intake. I just ordered 5/16 spacer and MREV2 once those are on its going to get a tune and dyno. Would it be a preferred to get lets say the NEO APEXI AFC? and if so would it be best to get it on the car before the tune or after, im lost in what would be a good next step. any advise would be awesome thanks.
