When I first got the car in 2005:



This is how the car was in 2007 after a full bodykit and wheels:




I was going to pull the engine and paint it black but I decided to go with a custom color using the AX6 Laser Red as a base. What do you guys think? Also losing the Kenstyle rear for the Chargespeed.





Headlights will also be blacked-out.



Interior wrapped in CF vinyl since my aluminum trim is all scratched up.

I have a Pioneer AVIC930BT and a JDM DD finisher waiting to be installed soon. (Thanks to Wrathernaut for trimming it since my car has OEM navigation.)


Parts sitting in my garage or are on order:
Akebono BBK Metallic Black Calipers
Stoptech Cross/Drilled Rotors
Hawk HP Plus Pads
Megan Racing Coilovers
SPC Front Control Arms
SPC Rear Camber Arms
Stillen Adjustable Sway Bars
Energy Bushings
Forgestar F14s (19x9.5 Front & 19x10.5 Rear)

Titek Aluminum Lug Nuts (Anodized Red)
ARK Grip Exhaust System
Takeda Short-Ram Intake
Kinetix Velocity Manifold


I'm still not sure on what to do for the third brake light but we'll see. I'm also planning to rebuild the engine and get a Vortech Supercharger and many supporting mods after the summer is over. The shop I wanted to go to said the downtime will be about a month. So since it's summer I just want to enjoy my car.


Bonus picture.

 

So what color are you painting it?

 

Probably the Laser Red with red pearls, I still haven't decided.

 

looks good i would leave it red with some silver pearl

 

I think your antenna is way too tall and takes away from the lines of the car.

Also, how do you get inside? You must be very small..




Looks amazing man - impressive initiative and brass ones to gut your ride like that. Look forward to seeing the result when it's done.

 

gl with everything. interior pieces look good, can't wait to see the final product

 

the CF interior looks good, i actually started on some of mine last friday

 

Looking great, when you get 'er painted post some follow up pic. Oh and don't wear those high heels when you do....

Brass indeed, In for pix of the final color choice!

 

WOW!!! fun project to do on the G! Can't wait to see the finishing product!

 

I'm going to go with the Laser Red (AX6) then mix in some silver or red pearls in the clear coat. Maybe both silver and red?

 

Leave it LR with some pearls, that will look sick!

 

That was the plan. I'm just not sure what color pearls.

 

thought you were gonna do something dramatic to it. I like the chargespeed rear a lot more than the kenstyle, never appealed to me

 

I was going to go with a black and blue pearls but there's a few modded black ones in my city already. I'm the only red one that's modded.
