only thing id have to mention is, when changing all the emblems from gold to chrome make sure not to forget the wheel caps (which are gold too) unless you plan on getting some new wheels.

The previous owner wanted the gold emblems for some reason so that is what the dealer put on. It's hard to tell in the pic but the car has a black & gold pin stripe going down the car too.

Ya that's pretty tacky might as well grab a set of those fender vents and double sided tape them on too haha. But ya I'd agree eyelids. I've got a set of ionic eyelids as well and they give a nice subtle, not over the top, more aggressive edge to the front end. I threw an oem front lip and a set of the lower billet grills (which honestly I don't think look good on anything other than dp and ob). I'm pretty happy with the setup I've got it's not over the top at all and has enough to definitely turn heads. Lower it and you're set. I just haven't dropped mine yet because I'm really worried about clearance. My place has way too many potentially hazardous obsticals. If I can find some time I'll try and upload a couple pictures to give you an idea

don't be afraid to drop.. Look at the Tenabe NF210s.. I love mine.. 1" in the front, and .6" in the rear.. Nice conservative drop..

Ya that's exactly what I'm looking for. I went and bought the eibach prokit lowering springs and they were wayyy too much of a drop for me. They turned me off of dropping the g for a while. I've decided it'd probaby be best if I grabbed some coilovers but I'll def look into those tanabes as they would be much more cost effective for the look I want. Anyone want a set of eibach pros that are a little used? I thinktheu are around a 1.8 drop in the rear and 1.6 in the front. I'll have to look up the specs again to verify though

No way!! Eibach prokit is 1.1" front and 1.0" rear. Any coilover will just set your car even lower. If you are looking for a mild drop, Tein g35 h-tech will do. But Tein Z350 h-tech is the best for you IMO. Sorry for the off topic tho.

Shw really wants wheels & I tried talking her into some 19" Rays but she doesn't want them. So were just going to save for some. Which wheels would you guys recommend for her LR coupe? Nothing expensive please because she only cares about the looks & we don't have that much $$$. (Just bought a house!)
As for your $$$, I'd say get Axis Shine if you are for the clean look. Here are the pix posted by another member here.

The other cheap mod that I am surprised no one mentioned about it is to put on those LED lights all around, side corners, door step lights, map lights, trunk light and license plate lights. Here is the link where you can order.

https://g35driver.com/forums/accesso...plate-led.html

Other then that, I pretty much agree with the rest of the folks. You can ask Jose(ironic) for the grilles and eye lids and save the paint job keep the OEM grille so that one day you won't be regreting. Also debadge the "infiniti" "G35" but leave the mt. fuji on. Get an OEM lip or one of those JP front lip spoilers. Order the GTR style front/rear overlay from Andrew(blue bat). Then your girl should be (well, this last one just remind your girl to be concentrat on the road while driving. Don't hit anything!)

Oh and... if you do get a sets of new rims, don't forget to drop your car! Drop it lower!

I agree with forzaG35 about getting a set of Axis wheels. They are cheap, but still look good!

Just go to the marketplace section to see if you find any styles you like.

Thanks for the compliment.. I really appreciate it.. I'm in Wylie, about 45 mins outside of Dallas.

Check the album, there's a new shoot in there.
