Plenum spacer and throttle body spacer

Since my car already had a plenum spacer would it be beneficial to add a throttle body spacer too or am I just throwing away money?

heading to a shop today when i wake up that does headlight work, ive been checking out there Instagram pictures for a while and seen they did a few g35s so i feel confident in there work now. my ideas are atm, i deff wanna paint the housing all glossy black to go with my red and black theme. but since im opening up the headlights anyway, im not sure if i should upgrade to the iron man or whatevert. or just see if he can make a switch that turns all lights off but makes the insides of the head lamp's glow red. id be more happy with that. he also said he does interior work so hopefully he does suede headliner work xD

not sure if i should go all black housing, or i seen this nice one with a red strip. or maybe a blue led strip?? i have the 06/07 protector's

Dude, keep them stock. You need wheel spacers and lowering springs before you need painted housings. The 06 lights are beautiful in stock form.

i hear ya. but i figured since im opening up the headlights anyway to paint them, i might as well get it out the way haha. depends on how much extra it cost's i will go from there.

like i said i dont even want anything fancy id be happy with just a switch that turns head lamps off but red led's turn on lighting up the headlights.
oh and should i just go all black, or go all black but paint the top of protector red?

They look great on Audis. Look pretty good on Lexus too. And the halos looked good on the first BMWs that they came on, but none of that nonsense looks good on the G to me. In fact, the only accent lighting I feel looks good is the 03-04 side strip.

Just leave em alone! Leave Brittany alone!!

which style of red and black do you guys like the most?

i like the one with more red in it. im planning on doing charcoal or black headliner , with sunroof slider in red. and maybe side panel insert red so these would go great with the red n blk theme.

also found these seats as well that i really like.

Why? Strut bars don't do anything.
