Haha words of wisdom right there.
I will agree with almost everything you said except the part about a more age appropriate ride. I think the G fits the 30-50 demographic just fine, it's what the crazy kids to do their rides that makes the cars seem more immature in presentation. As I said before I mod with a clean theme. I have an exhaust for performance first, not sound. But it took 4 different trys before I found an exhaust that fits what I wanted; subtle sound difference with lots of go and I couldn't be happier thanks to Tony at Motordyne. It took 2 resonators on the VQ exhaust to get the sound I wanted, but damn she sounds good.
At the end of the day I'll say what I said before, an enthusiast is an enthusiast whether they're 16 or 60. And if people bang on you for what you've done but you like the car, fvck them.

Remember too, that any change you make to the intake path will also change your exhaust note, ie. spacer, z tube, CAI, etc.

Fitting wheels can be tricky. You will need to do a lot of math dealing with wheel sizes, tire sizes, and wheel offsets to find the perfect fit for you. Most of us have at least rolled our rear fenders to help with fitment and a lot have rolled the fronts as well. I also had to take out the 2 small screws in my front fender liners so my fronts won't rub.
My advice would be to troll all of the picture threads you can find, pick rims/fitment you like, and find out what that member is running to give you an idea of what looks good to you. And remember, sedan fitment and coupe fitment are 2 totally different ballgames.
well I'm 26 and was wondering at what point will i stop modding cars. so i skimmed through this thread and realized the answer, till i poop in a diaper! LMAO

haha I hear you. After almost a year I have finally achieved the perfect fitment for me. 
BTW that Caddy is straight sick. You know it has the performance to back up the looks as well since it was built by Hennessey.
