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.

Nice progression with your Twilight Blue coupe and good choices on the mods. Don't cha love that shift **** 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....

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 **** 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 Should be ordering my bumper/grill this week!

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.
