What are your Plans/Goals with your G in 2012?

!!! EDIT !!!

From what some of you have listed, it has given me an idea. Instead of just a list of future plans and mods, how about an almost '2012' progression thread?

List out your plans, then come back when you complete them and check them off, post pictures of the progress. If you keep it to one post and keep editing, you will be able to show off what you have done over the year. At the end of the year, see where you have come from to what you have now.

I know that I probably wont do half of what I want to do, but its nice to see the list to keep the carrot dangling in front of you.

So, here is my list:

1. JDM Battery Cover - Check!
2. 350Z H-Techs
3. Rear Sway Bar
4. Nismo Bumper
5. Swapping in some black interior peices - Shift **** added
6. Slotted rotors & Upgraded pads
7. Debadge the trunk
8. 06+ Headlights and Tails



ORIGINAL:

Just wanted to see what everyone's plans were for their G this year.

The modding bug still continues for me. This year I plan on changing out all my suspension, adding a Nismo bumper and doing a double din conversion.

How about you?

Trying to resist modding, since I'm interested in the new 5.0 Mustang GT. Hopefully I'll get over that soon...or Infiniti will finally release a fitting replacement for the g35 coupe.

Those new 2011+ Mustang GT's are pretty nice cars. The only thing is, everyone in the world has a Mustang and they all basically look mostly the same.

I know. Maybe once I find time to install the 3.7 VLSD sitting in the garage I'll have a better time suppressing my 10% redneck side that wants the Mustang. I thought the DD head unit conversion would be enough to take my mind off the Mustang for a few years...not working as I'd hoped.

The biggest problem I have with my G is that it costs $10-$14k to get a reliable, daily driver capable 400+ r.w.h.p. I could just as easily sell my G and take that extra $14k and buy a lightly-used 2011 GT premium 6MT a bolt-on or two away from 400 r.w.h.p. I'd have a year or two of factory warranty left, and 45,000 fewer miles.

On the downside, I'd probably have to start wearing cowboy boots and grow a mullet. I'll still refuse to listen to country & western "music" though.

go back to oem as much as possible....with just a nice stance....sick wheels. But before the wheels gona replace any little interior pieces that show heavy wear or chips. Such as ignition clear ring, AT shifter plate and repair driver seat tear.....then get the wheels...and if possible and final for the year, if i dont get rid of the car first....go head first with engine bay mods and performance,,
