Buy OEM coupe 19" wheels and get them painted or powder coated gun metal. You can pick them up for $1000 or less, they are 19x8 and 19x8.5 and sit pretty flush on the sedans. Drop it on Z springs or Tein S-techs and you're set!

haha yea make it a sleeper lol.

but seriously, get some wheels, drop it, get 5/16 spacer, ztube, an intake, paint roof and grill black, debadge
these should be the MUST DOs.

lip spoiler, a body kit or lip+paint, double din conversion, BBK, paint headlights black.

Dude, that's an a$$ raping for that price.

Get some other quotes if that's what you want.

I too vote for rims/tires and a drop. Will really set your car apart from a stock G and you'll really enjoy it.

$1300 for sills is crazy high.
Other than that, shop around a ton. 4DGS has given you some good advice, heed well. Actually all the advice in this thread has been very good.

Shopping, working deals, and being patient to wait for the right deals to come along can pay off big time. Here's what I was able to do, and so-far, I'm still under $1000 spent on mods

(You can only imagine what I would do with $5k

)

Ignore the picture of a coupe, they were smoking meth I think.

Interesting. How does this attach to the car? Problem is I almost bottom out without it, any time i pull in anywhere, i gotta come to a complete stop, always scared someones gonnna hit me from behind.

the lip isnt much lower than stock but it gives the illusion that it is. It comes with brackets and screws but is a good idea that the shop uses extra reinforcement to secure it properly also sillicone or whatever strong glue they use behind the lip. Get oem 19" rims and tein S techs for a nice stance, if you don't wanna go too low get tein H tech, skunk 2 springs or 350z factory springs. Here's my car with the Ebay front lip, coupe 19"s and tein S tech
