Cool Opinions on this whole set up

I've never really modded any car before. I found this site looking for something last yr, i dunno even remember what it was. I didnt visit for almost 10 months and came back looking for Bulb sizes in January. I dont know what happened then, I just kind of went crazy while browsing members pics and sets and tough, humm, I want me some of that. I've spent more money in the last 30 days than I ever thought I would in this car. Anywho;
This is what I have done so far.

19" black Axis mods W Toyo Proxes
350z suspension
6000K low beams
Sylvania Cool Blues HighBeams
JDM Blue LED Daytime Running Light
CHROME STEEL DOOR PILLAR
BLACK BUMPER SIDE MARKER
HID WHITE 9 LED DOME LIGHT
smoked out tailights
Polished my HeadLights
Blacked out Grill except for Mt Fuji emblem
Pioneer AVIC D3 *w/ Bypass , , sirius adapter, steering wheel controllers, and *
Turbo Dash Kit
Antenna/Speaker wiring Kit
Hardwired WHISTLER DE1788
MB Quarts RVF216
Alpine Type R 6.5
12" Kicker sub w solo box
300watt Kicker amp
800watt kenwood amp


Edit; 02/16/2008

Only one of your pics worked for me...

Impressive list of mods already!

Plenum - good call, you'll be happy with the sound/power gains.
Z-tube/intake - More of a sound mod, won't notice power, but I love mine.
Coupe midpipe - You can get your hands on one cheap, but I'd go with a full exhaust.
HKS - Every HKS on a G I have heard sounds really ricey - as mentioned above, I'd recommend a full exhaust.

I copied the wrong links from photobucket. I just edited and fixed them

The full system seems like it would be about $500 more. What makes it worth it?

HKS makes a exhaust for our car, not a full set up. It doesnt sound ricey at all.

The list looks good, but I would look for a used Coupe Mid-pipe rather than new. You could probably find one for around $100 in the marketplace.

No nismo kit in planning? In terms of the 3 mods you have listed, I was going to do one of those first and eventually do all 3, but I pretty much thought screw it, I am going to do all at the same time. Tax refund FTW lol.

Nice list but it looks like you didnt get any drop from the 350z suspension, with 19" thats a big gap!!
I would paint the bottom parts to match the body color, also get a HKS rear muffler with a coupe or 05 sedan mid-pipe you will like the sound. i never liked JWT so I did a stillen charger with ztube and love it. Good luck

Also whoever did your tints could have taken the 3rd light out and tinted that area, looks off now

Nice set of mods you got going there purplebeast! I expected more of a drop than shown for the Z suspension. Maybe consider Eibach or Tein S-tech down the line? That would give you a sizable drop for sure.

03Sg35 said it right about the tint not covering the 3rd brake light. I get a little peeved every time I see a nice tinted car w/ no tint on the 3rd light

I see that you're from Tampa. It's nice to see more modded sedans around FL. There is a meet planned in St. Petersburg on the 16th, and another one in Jacksonville on the 23rd (which I'll be going to). Check the Florida G35 Club forum for more details. Hope to see you around at a future meet

Look at the stickys at the top of the page too. There is a thread on exhausts. The most popular being the HKS rear section.

You are seriously infected with the mod bug
