What First for my G35 2004 coupe?

Hey guys just wanted to know what should I start to put in the car? Any ideas, My G already has rims, spoiler, new headlights, bumper that's it. How big of tires/rims can fit the car?

See the super thread and stickies, there are non-normal mods for performance people do to these cars that are worth the money. Example - plenum spacers.

It's under the tech area, for coupes.

OP if your car has a lot of miles on it, over 90K and up, put a lot of money into replacing all fluids, brake pads/rotors, struts, belts, suspension bushings, end links, upper front control arms, compression rods and the list goes on. Not a sexy mod list but most used cars with that kind of mileage only have a fraction of this routine maintenance performed when they change hands to a new owner. If you neglect this step before more appearance/performance mods your car will run/ride like crap and be a potential hazard driving around.

Assuming you're up to date on regular maintenance like fluids and suspension, I would lower it, especially if you have wheels on it already since it clears up the goofy wheelgap

I intended to mention the same thing ^ but wasn't sure how long he's owned the G or how many miles on the clock? Maintenance first then a few upgrades that will make the G better than when it arrived on the boat! '06 PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS BETTER ROTOR & PADS 5/16" MOTORDYNE PLENUM SPACER These are the best first mods for any '04 coupe!

New headunit and speakers would be nice.

Definitely do suspension if you haven't.

Get a blox plenum spacer, its the best overall upgrade for the car without getting too dirty.

What he said^. Seriously don't start with this mod nonsense, we have enough modded G35 running around and hardly any unmolested original ones left. If you wanted a modded one you should have purchased one already modded. Playing with suspension, ride height, alignment, spacers and geometry you are asking for potential headaches and a lot of money for tires. Use whatever cash to buy quality OEM replacements and keep your G looking as original as possible.
