Pumped!

Hi Everyone!

Another proud G35 owner is born! Without further adieu, let's go straight to business. I am purchasing a 2003 OB G35 Coupe next week and will work on the car ASAP. Before then, I wanted your guys' input on these mods:

1) Strafe Lip Trunk
2) APEX ARC-8 (I am in love with these)
Questions: It seems like they just market these to BMW 3-series. Can I slap these babies on the G35? Also, I am looking at PIAA Super Mesh wheels as well. Overall, I am looking for an aggressive, gunmetal, meshed wheels. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. VOLK Winning is my #1 choice, but it is $$$
3) What aftermarket HID's from eBay should I dare purchase? 6k HID good enough?
4) Any suggestions on suspensions? Doesn't have to be dumped. Leaving 2" gap is fine.

Since I am a noob here, I probably should not be lazy and just go search all these threads for good recommendations. Just that I am extremely excited about getting a G35. I'm sure you know how that feels right?

Any help is appreciate!

-Maxam

Welcome!!

You can never go wrong with Strafe. Their products and customer service are top notch!

As far as the bulbs I would go with 6K, the higher you go the more blue/purple they get.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

This is one of my inspirations for now!

What kind of rear bumper is this? Looks extremely aggressive.

Check out the marketplace for your wheels, might find something like a better set of used rims in your price range. There are a couple nice sets up there at the moment and more popping up all the time. Good luck with the ride, sounds like a good list of mods so far, have fun.

Hi Guys,

So I am picking these wheels for the G:

PIAA Sport Mesh Wheel: 18" x 9.5" (Hyper Black Finish) 5x114.3, +38mm Offset

PIAA Sport Mesh Wheel: 18" x 8.5" (Hyper Black Finish) 5x114.3, +42mm Offset

I am sorta of a wheel noob, so should I buy two of each? Or four of one size?

I am trying to get a very aggressive look with the wheels almost parallel to the fender. Would I need spacers?

-Max
