Decided to start a thread to keep track of all the mods i've been doing to my G. Nothing special yet, but i'm working on it :)
Slowly but surely! Feel free to give any input.



Day 1, 4/29/11
After endless weeks of searching, I found and purchased my 2004 TB Coupe from the dealership. Any 18 year old's dream :)

With all the cheap mods aside, the car sat for a few weeks. The mod bug came back and bit me hard shorty after, and I ordered some Avant Garde M310 rims, 19x9.5 +22 all around. Got some Kumho Ecsta SPT's to sit on them.

Car came back from the shop today. Original Kuruma Z poly front bumper and fiberglass gialla installed, fresh paint on them along with the hood and fenders. Headlights also got sanded down and polished to remove all the fog.

Nice progression with your Twilight Blue coupe and good choices on the mods. Don't cha love that shift knob and boot, funny how a small mod like that can make driving way more fun. Sorry bout the accident, hope it doesn't cost you too much. Nows a good time to go with the KurumaZ bumper....:biggthumpup:

Thanks man, appreciate it. Your G has always been one of my favorites, almost exactly how I want mine to look.

And yeah the shift knob really does make a huge difference, I highly recommend one to any 5AT driver.

The damages from the accident shouldn't run me more than $1500. Needed an excuse to start my body kit anyway :icon38: Should be ordering my bumper/grill this week!

walshtj Jul 5, 2011 12:11 AM

+1 on the body kit. I would get a drop also but good plans and nice progression.

g35driver015 Jul 5, 2011 12:17 AM

too bad it is an auto haha but nice car.
Typical for an 18 year old getting in a fender bender...were you being stupid?
Im only 19 and love being a young g owner. Parents buy your car?
Congrats

Haha yeah it is pretty typical, but that accident wasn't even my fault. I'm a very careful driver, NJ/PA drivers are just absolutely terrible.
It's definitely nice to have one at such a young age, no doubt that its a chick magnet :)
Parents paid for half the car, I paid the rest. All the mods are out of my own pocket.

g35driver015 Jul 5, 2011 12:32 AM

thats good I guess atleast your parents didn't pay for all of it! I hate when kids roll around in nice cars when they didn't work for it

VincenzG35 Jul 5, 2011 12:42 AM

She's coming along nicely. That shift boot is nice too.

jon121587@yahoo Jul 5, 2011 11:33 AM

Nice car bro looks real good. You should make a DIY on that shift boot and what parts you purchased To do that Mod.
