Now about my bro's 335, I'd have to invest quite a bit to keep up with him, althought I am dying to see how an FI G would stack up. He's currently running the PROcede, KW V3 coilover, Quaife LSD, ?? Sways, and a couple of other minor items I'm forgetting. Next in line for him is a new intercooler, (forgot new downpipe), PROcede V2 upgrade, full exhaust & M5 replica body kit (waiting for install). I stand humbled. Perhaps I can get the 2 of u side by side for some runs
It'd be great to see him get knocked off his perch, hehe.

Perhaps there are some better quality versions of this out there.

), this is like killing 2 birds w/ 1 stone. All that's missing are rings and projectors like TTrank. Probably too much $$$, I'd rather spend it on performance. Do you know someone for painting the grille? It's a great start, I still think I'd want the UTR in the end.

lol, my wallet and wife will not appreciate it. When I got the car back I said to her, "look at the car, how do you like it?" to which she replied, "What's different about it", sheesh. I got a few more minor items in mind for the (hopefully) near future.
Please post impressions of the GT Spec bar... I realize it's hard to tell since you installed the same time as sway bars - and the other mods... but lately I’ve been interested in their products, your impressions would be great - thanks.
Understanding where the susp and sways come into play all I can say so far is that the direct effect seems to be in the chassis. It feels tighter as if the car were built a bit stronger. Perhaps much like the newer 2nd gen w/ the additional weld points. The main area I'm noticing a difference is in body flex as others have reported. The car feels flatter/tighter in twists and turns. I don't think if I had done it alone, that it would have felt like it made a HUGE difference, but definitely a welcome one. So, if you're going to get it, don't expect the world, however do expect a tighter more pleasing feel over all. It's not that expensive and easy to put on so, therefore I highly recommended if you like driving esp on winding roads.
I'll be getting the mid brace soon as well and I'm expecting to feel more from that. I'll keep you all posted when I do.

Da Mayor is not too far from me, but I've been avoiding him......I wonder if he's reading this?

Thanks for the review... and happy modding (your wife & wallet will respect the addiction is better than drugs and prostitutes )
)Drugs and prostitutes......hmmm......I might need to borrow that to make a better argument w/ trying to convince my wife that these 'maintenance items' are VERY necessary 'for the safety of the car'
Nice!
Wow! Beautiful mods. I'm new to the forum but have an 04 G35x - just getting into modding it as well. Like what you've done!
In your first post, you mention you picked your car up from getting the mods done + I see your plates are in NY state. I'm in NJ and looking for a good shop for my G - I'll drive a few hours. I know I can probably find a recommendation if I search, but who'd you use? Vinny Ten Racing?
thanks!
