Question Picking up my 03 G35 Tomorrow!

Hello everyone I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for all who replied to my previous posts. I did make the decision to buy a Silver 03 G35 coupe with 70K yesterday 5 A/T, Nav, one owner. I pick it up tomorrow got it for $10,500. I already have some plans for her but could use a little help from the experts on here! As of right now I'm trying to order the following to get her painted sometime in the next 2 weeks!

Nismo Rear Diffuser unpainted
Clear corner lights
Front and rear splash guards unpainted they were listed on ebay but after calling they are on back order. Anyone know where I can get them they were 60.49 for OEM unpainted.

I would like to add a front lip but don't want it too look bolt on or atleast I would like it too look clean. Ebay has some for around $120 but even with painting them I think it won't look very good!

My plan is to paint the car Tunder Gray Chromaflair its the same color on the CTS-V coupe. My neighbor and friend owns a couple body shops down south and is going to take care of it for me! LA I live in Bakersfield.

My main question is if you had a tight budget but wanted the same car to look clean (it does not have the sport package) what would you put on it b4 paint. I would love to put the K2 front bumper on with the impul side skirts and an ings spoiler but my wife is pregnant and my son is due in 3 weeks! The wife has a Tahoe so she wanted me to have something fun for us to drive yet stylish!

Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

Hopefully this is not a useless post and yes I did watch the video for newbies!! LOL

PS I will upload photos as soon as I get her home. And I promise to add photo's on the progress as soon as I start!

Maybe hold on paint and get the body parts you want then paint it. Is the paint bad or still good

Paint is ok other then some nicks down the passenger side door! There is a scuff on the front bumper passenger side but its down low. Its just going to bug me seeing her like this. The rear duffiser has a small tear right next to the driver side exhaust and thats why I'm putting on the nismo diffuser. Other then that everything else is really good!

Thanks for the welcoming I'm looking forward to being an asset on the forum. I have owned repaired and modified many cars, from the reviews and how highly people talk about there Gs I will be owning this one for a while. Just a down right comfortable car with adequate power and superb styling!

06 headlights and tail lights already on my future upgrade list. Headlights first. I'm definitely going to debadge the rear only leaving the infiniti symbol it just looks clean and that's what I'm looking for. As for the front grill I'm going to have them paint it black when they paint the car but again leaving the infiniti symbol alone (chrome).

Looks great man, love the tail lights! I'm going to go for the no spoiler look, I'm still not sure on that one. I like the M3 style simple and clean..... might add it later.

You should leave it black and save all that money to have it painted. Black is sick bro. Slam it, throw some nice staggered wheels on it, high five and go home.
