My 2004 G

I made a thread about buying the car a month or so, but I've gone ghost since then. The first "mod" I did was replacing those ugly Orange reflector lights, then I debadged the "infinity" lettering on the back, and I just recently painted the front grill and glossed it to match the car paint. I'm finally getting my ISO thermal 5/16" Plenum spacer from motordyne today. Won't be able to install until Thursday though. On Friday I plan on buying a Z tube and H&K drop in filter after I get my paycheck. Anyway, just thought I'd make a thread about moding my car.

Well I can't figure out how to post multiple pics in one post. Not trying to bump. Sorry I suck at this stuff.

Look into getting a sport front lip/bumper. Without it, takes away the sporty look and stance that is the G.
Glad to see another OB on here, too many LS and DGs rolling around.

Finnex, that's one of the most beautiful OB coupes I've seen in a very long time! Like Venom posted a front lip would make the front end look better by elongating the shape of your coupe. I believe IONIC on our Marketplace sells one for the coupe and Jose will even have it painted for a small fee. Good Luck & Enjoy the ride...Gary

Thank you very much Gary, I'm new to this forum and this is my first car, so Im not sure what OB means but I appreciate it man! Me and my friend were actually talking about how I needed to get a front lip today lol. I found someone on Craigslist with a nice front lip with the same year and color that's trying to sell his whole car, but I asked if I could buy the front lip off of him. If not, I'll add that to the list, probably in 2 weeks after my next paycheck. So many plans, just have to wait for the $

OB is the color of your car (Obsidian Black). Looks clean! Great first mods, looking forward to your other plans. A front lip won't be expensive at all even if you buy brand new and get it painted. You can find ones off of eBay for under $100 shipped. Generally eBay items are frowned upon but I think the lips make an exception. I got my lip from eBay and it fits and looks great.

I don't really care about getting frowned upon on a forum. I don't know these people so they can say whatever they want, it's the Internet. Anyway I think I might order this one. What do you guys think?

Yea, if your going to talk crap about my car, I don't care. But if you have something constructive to say, I'm all ears. Not a tough concept to grasp.

Black paint (OB) looks good, thats difficult to do. Springs and wheel spacers make a great lower/flush look if your shocks are in good shape.....or if its in budget, coilovers of course!

So, you're saying you only hear what you wanna hear? No its not a difficult concept to grasp, but neither is being able to take criticism.

I don't think you get what I'm saying. If you want to give me crap for buying an eBay part, idgaf what you say. But if you are saying something that will benefit my knowlage of the car or the car, I'm listening.

If you don't wanna catch crap for buying eBay parts, don't buy eBay parts. That advice will benefit you ultimately, believe me. There's a reason we give people crap for it. Haha

BTW, are your rims chrome (hard to tell)? I think we have the same car but mine is white. Don't see too many with chrome OEMs.
