My order: IP G

Paint Rookie Front Bumper
Paint Rooke Sides
Paint Trunk Lip Spoiler
Debadge G35
Headlight Paint Housing (GreenGoblin)
Paint Grill Gloss Black (GreenGoblin)
Drop On H-Tech
19" Coupe Or Aftermarket..

Thats it for now, since Im focused on exterior..

 

^^ Any particuler reason you chose H-Tech as opposed to S-Tech? Just curious...

 

I chose them 'cuz I wanted a mild drop ~ 1" all around. Got a great deal on them from Assault Tech on here, less than $200 shipped.

 

For me

All new care cleaning products to keep my new paint looking good

Nismo Ti ****

Motordyne Y pipe and exhaust

Next year hopefully Coilovers and some new to me bigger factory wheels

 

19" iForged wheels -non-staggered "AWD"
paint headlights housing gloss black
retrofit headlight (same as TTRANK)
either stage 3 supercharger or twin turbo
and need to finally install my headers....

 

I'm torn... I don't know if the -1.4 (f) and -.7 (r) that the H-Tech offers will be enough.

Definitely post pics when you get them installed.

 

I think 4DGS has H-Techs on his 03 sedan. Search him up.

 

Thanks! -

 

Interesting thread. These aren't in any particular order.

Mechanical
1. New Tires: Getting 4 245/45-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE760A Sports installed next week.
2. Upgrade Brakes: I have 05+ OEM rears in the garage, probably going with Stage 1 OE setup from Racing Brake for the fronts.
3. Suspension: Waiting on Flying Lumpia to update us AWD'ers on his new coilovers for the X. Those are my first choice. Second option is springs, Coupe front and Sedan Sport rear. Only want a mild drop or coilovers.

Appearance
1. LEDs: White for license plate, doors, maplights, Amber for clear corners. Trunk, glove boxes, rear ceiling, and reverse lights to follow.
2. Painted Grille.
3. Painted Headlights.
4. 15mm spacers for my winter wheel/tire setup (stock 17's).
5. Repair/Paint Coupe 18 wheels. Project for the winter.
6. Tinted Windows: Michigan has stupid tint laws, so may wait.
7. Aluminum Sport Pedals

Performance
1. HKS Axle Back: Oh, that sweet, sweet sound
2. Hi-Flow Cats: Not sure what yet.
3. Exhaust Headers: Again, not sure what yet, but considering OEM HR headers.

Realistically, it's going to be the brakes and LEDs after the tires, and then probably a break from mods. Everything else is optional (yes, LEDs are optional, but I need to replace a few bulbs anyway, so might as well get LEDs).

 

I have a 05 sedan at and this is the order im going to buy in.
test pipes
then spacer
coilovers
18 rota boosts
nismo front bumper
grill and then one day twin turbo with trans build that will be after warranty is up hahah and it will be high miles so i might throw in pistons and rods then too. but that's long off.

 

future plans....

-first of all, perform basic maintenance
-actually painting the roof black instead of the vinyl on it right now
-front 5mm spacers
-front camber kit
-cawford plenum i believe...its the baddest looking + hp gains out there
-buy new front lip
-buy new exhaust to replace my currently in not-so-good-shape hks exhaust
-replace my tein basic coilovers with something better, more comfortable
-strut bar
-replace clutch, flywheel, or whatever needs to be replaced
-slotted rotors
-repaint front bumber
-finally install my right side battery cover
-get curb rash fixed on rear wheel lip
-led lights all around
-replace tires with Falken
-slam the shizznit out of my b!tch

that should be good

 

hmmm my plans are a secret. Will post new pics in a month

 

i have never seen ur car before. post it up so we can see it first!

 

You know I respect your opinions, so a couple of questions for you. If I wanted to go bigger on the rear tires and keep the stock 18" sport rims, what would be the widest you think I could go? 255/265? Keep in mind I'll be dropped ~ 1" on the H Techs.

Have you considered the MD VQ exhaust? I'm going to a big meet next weekend and want to hear some of these in person to make up my mind. I got a quote from a vendor here for the HKS muffler shipped for $399, bolts right on to the middie. However, I really like what Tony's doing over at MD and the XYZ pipe and VQ is sweet but over $1000.

 

My near future plans:

1) Change out the spark plugs to NGK (only at 71K miles but I hear a few others here have replaced their plugs around this mileage).
2) Get the HP Evo's wheels refinished and repaired (2 of them are bent inside, currently feeling a slight shudder while driving).
3) Bleed the brakes and fill with new fluid (it was fairly easy to do for our Corolla so it shouldn't be a problem for the G).
