need my fellow 'drivers opinions

Hey, so I recently was considering selling my G35 Sedan... my 6MT baby... because my fiance simply hated to drive it. "too big" and "i hate standard" were phrases that I had simply gotten sick of hearing. We almost sold it and bought a mini cooper S, but the sale fell through.

Well, I came up with the mother-effing PERFECT solution.



got her one of these yesterday. I get to keep my baby and she gets to be happier than anyone I know. Now the G is completely mine only. MOD TIME!!!

I've photoshopped a few mods that I think are within my price range (I wanna spend >$1000 if at all possible. Here's my car as it sits now:



Here are my plans:



Grille, 18" coupe wheels, paint the headlight housing and lower it. I'm hoping that I can pick up some coupe wheels off someone on the forum (msg me with a price!) and the rest I can probably get off ebay without much of a problem.

anyone object to anything on the car? have any other suggestions or ways to keep my costs down? any tips from your personal experience are greatly appreciated.

Do you feel safe with here driving that thing! At least the mini has 7-airbags, made by BMW and comes with a awesome maintenace warranty package ans is nearly indestructable - the SMART car is letterally a roller sake with a motor.

Congrats on getting your mods and keeping the G - I'll give you credit there.

fakes probably made in China - check the classified section and you will pick up a used OEM set with tires for about the same price maybe cheaper. Most people are moving the the 19's so 18's have come down in price due to lack of demand.
