I've changed some stuff recently, so I thought I'd do another photo shoot. I also posted a video clip attempting to communicate the sound of the Stillen cat-back exhaust and Stillen flywheel. It's not perfect, but if you have good speakers or headphones on your computer it gives you a good idea. Note the cement truck sound when at idle--that would be the flywheel!

> New photos of the G, baby!

> A chart showing the mods I've done, what they cost, and my impressions of each

BTW, I parked accross from a carbon black BMW M3 today and compared the appearance of the two sitting nose to nose. I have to say the G stacks up very nicely and looks a little more aggressive. It looks a little longer and lower than the BMW, as well as being more angular and sleek.

 

awesome site. awesome rims.

 

+1!

 

keep up the great maintenance on your paintjob. cuz your black g looks sick.

 

Great site dude! I wasn't sure what you meant about the 'cement mixer' sound from the lighter flywheel until I heard the sound clip. Yikes, that doesn't sound good!

 

Thanks! The cement mixer sound is ugly, but I don't mind it after feeling how heavy the stock flywheel is. I'd rather go fast loudly than go slow quietly!

Stryder, you got that right about black paint. It helps to be a little obsessive when you have a dark car. I have waxed it three times in the month I've owned it. When I bought the car with nine miles on it just off the truck, I asked the dealer not to do a make-ready or wash it before I took delivery. I went home and carefully hand washed it, then immediately waxed it to avoid swirl marks!

 

well done w/ the ride and the site

 

I think I saw you the other day. It would have been sometime last week around 12:30-1:00ish. I don't remember what day it was exactly, but I think it was maybe Wednesday or Thursday. You were turning right off of Great Hills onto Jollyville. I was in the left turn lane waiting to turn onto Jollyville. I caught up to you but just as I was next to you, you turned off right by the car wash and Blockbuster. I have to say your car did look really, really nice. I'm seriously contemplating getting some mesh-style wheels after seeing your car in person. And the vibrant look of your paint is just amazing. What kind of wax do you use? I'm obsessed with Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax, but right now I have Meguiars NXT Tech Wax on mine. It really brings out the metallic sparkle in my paint. Here are some pics...

 

thanks for the great exhaust clip

 

the site is GREAT and very useful!!

 

Very informative site, gerat car.

 

Thanks fellas! msd3075: Is that in the Jester area off 2222 and 360? Very nice ride my friend! I hope I wasn't driving like a dick when you saw me...

 

The background is that area kinda, but the parking lot the pics are in is right off Great Hills just up that huge hill once you turn onto it off of 360. I think it's a church or something.

Also, I think I saw you yet again yesterday, but I'm not sure. It would have been around 2:45-3:00ish. You would have been pulling out of the Academy parking lot on 183 just south of Oak Knoll. I was driving by on the feeder road. It was a black G35 Coupe with shinnier-than-stock wheels, but I couldn't tell if it was you or not.
