Thanks! Thats who I was thinking of, I bought my grille and eyelids from him. A bit more spendy since they were CF, but they look really clean and fitment was one of the best out there. The eyelids give it a nice aggressive look

mods

OK.. so i have $450

what mods should i get for my 04 g35 coupe.

i have been looking at exhausts but not sure if i want to go with an off brand and the name brand ones are just too pricey as of right now.



and does any one have any experience with the Cobb access port?



any input would be nice.
thanks!

i would recommend searching around, this has been asked a lot of times

it all depends on what you are going for, looks, performance, both and then you start from there
for example, don't get an exhaust for $450, you can get a motordyne spacer and an intake and that should be good enough

i have been searching around and i just want to get some final input before i actually spend money.. I'm going for a little more hp but trying to keep the car practical.

i like the spacer but with the intake I'm not sure what would be better.
pop charger or a full actual intake.

well with the cold air you have issues of sucking up water, with the pop charger you have issues with heat soak, you can always try to fit into the stock airbox or get the stillen one, but from what i know the stock airbox is still the best, so you can also get a z tube + a amsoil drop in filter

spacers... best bang for your buck.. should run you under 450$ installed.. 5/16 so you can put your pretty engine cover back on and call it a day.

Since you have an '04 you don't need the MREV2, all you need is the MotorDyne 5/16" Spacer. It comes with detailed instructions and all parts required for install, you will however need a torq wrench. www.motordyneengineering.com or 1-661-993-5111 To compliment the spacer your next mod should be a Z-Tube and a K&N drop in filter, that will complete you intake side.

High Flow Cats... Most restrictive part of your exhaust.. replace those and you'll be able to displace as much air as you take in w/ your new intake mods.. Then you'll be done till you're ready to go forced induction.
