Need more info
Do you have the Aero (Nismo) front bumper or standard front end?

This would be a perfect time for pics

I keep coming back to this thread LOL

Slow day at work FTW!

just a word of advice, if you plan on having 03-04 splashguards with painted sidesills and rear, get the splashguards first and get it all painted at once. The reason I say this is, the 03-04 sidesills come half unpainted and half body color. If you look closely at the picture i provided, there is a line that divides the splashguard to top and bottom. the bottom of the splashguard used to be black and only the top was painted body color. I color matched the whole thing

If it was me, I would spend the money on a Aero front bumper and not go for the mesh on the base bumper. (that's what I did).

I think there is billet style inserts which I think are fugly. Not sure on the mesh.

Lol Glad you keep coming back to the thread!! Yeah, I noticed the little line and was thinking of getting them painted as well. I don't know though. I would have to see a full view of the car with the front and back guards on to really get an idea. I may hold off on them for now, unless pictures change my mind lol

Yeah I know what you mean. Eventually I will save up for the aero kit. Just wanted to see if there was anything I could just add on. Thanks for the tip man!

DROP IT DROP IT DROP IT!!!!!!! I have a my G about 2 months and the best thing I have done so far is lowering it. H&R springs all the way it looks sick made a huge difference.IMO you should never get shoes before a drop because you will always have the fugly fender gap. If you lower it first even with old shoes it will still have the sweet stance!! SO drop that biaaaatch!!!

lol I'm definatly going to lower it once I got some new shoes in the spring. For now I am just getting what I planned on for now (tints and sills painted). I decided to get a JWT pop Charger and Z tube. Worth it? How much HP does it add usually? I don't know much about engine install, would I be able to do it? Should I get it new or used? I obviously know new is better but, I wouldn't mind saving a few bucks used. Know anyone selling it used? I looked on the marketplace, but no ones getting back to me. New: where is a good place to get it? Also, let me know of anything else I would need to know about it. Thanks

sometimes you have to be patient to find a used ztube and pop charger. No real engine knowledge needed I did it and I know nothing about engine work. There isn't a real difference in new or used so I would just wait til I can get a used one to save some money (z tube/pop combo). No hp gain really, people say that the spacer is the best bang for the buck regarding cheap ponies but I barely noticed it when I installed mine.

really? I heard there was at least a 6.5 hp gain from the pop and a litle more from the z tube. Hm, I will try to get a used set. How do you maintain it? Anything inparticular?

Why waste your money on the splash guards if you are going to get the aero kit later...
