2003 G35 automatic

Posted a pic of this lady the other day. Just got it about a week ago as is. 148k miles. Drove it for 3 hours back home when I bought it. Ran great! The engine bay is real clean. Completely stock except for a magna flow muffler. It has 50mm spacers in the back with 38mm in the front sitting on eibach lowering springs. Dilled and slotted brakes work great. Apparently there is a custom bash bar but I've never heard of one of those until I googled it. Stock shocks. I need to get new ones. The fenders are rolled. It's cambered at about 2 degrees I think. I plasti diped the wheels because I think purple and silver look great together. I was skeptical about the plasti dip spray but it turned out Great! I used one can of plasti dip per tire. The car is super low almost to a fault since it will be my daily driver. The back tires rub on even the slightest bumps. The only rub near the out side edge of the tire. It doesn't touch the road because of the camber. But it still needs to be adressed immediately. Also, I can't give this thing a whole lot of acceleration because the back in dips down at fast take off or hard acceleration and the back tires rub the wheel wells. So bad that it makes a burned rubber smell. Would after market shocks help with that or does it need to be raised up some? I don't want to bring The wheels in too much more because I love the stance. I can't seem to find and spacers with in a 40mm or 45mm. I was reading about stacking spacers but I'm not sure about that. The interior is great. Only has the infamous tears on the sides of the seats. It's not bad though. No cracks in the dash and all the liner and leather is in nice condition. All of the electronics seem to work except for the Damn radio. It comes on and works but no sound. I already read a few threads on here about possible fixes or even upgrading to a touch screen. That would be sick. Here are some pics! Tell me what you think. I'm excited to have this car and I want to get it restored and upgraded correctly so that it has a nice stance but is also driveable with out damaging my freaking tires.



After I painted the rims and my zx6r.





Got that instagram filter on lol





This is the picture from the ad where i found the car. I was sold.





Before i plasti dipped the wheels. Looked great then too.





The pictures dont show the paint up close. There are a few blemishes and what not. Its a 2003 so its expected.

You painted your rims purple? It looks kinda fake.

If you really did this, I sure hope you're female. LOL.

Yes! I feed my bike rice! Yeah the car is ricey a bit but I bought it just the way it is about a week ago so you can't blame me. I'm taking the right steps. I bought smaller rear spacers! They'll be in soon. And the color..I don't think a color should be stereotyped..I like purple so I chose purple. Very simple decision making process. If I made decisions based off what everyone else wanted them I would be the biggest sell out ever

Yeah I can only go slightly smaller because of the rolled fenders in the back. Its all good. I'm happy with the purchase. Its not perfect but I'll get it close to what I want as quickly as money allows. My next major purchase will be KONI adjustable shocks.
