Hey guys,
I am new to g35s. Bought my first one 3 months ago and love it!. It is a base model with a nismo aero front bumper. Front bumper had alot of rock chips and cracks so I repaired and primed it and well the guy before me must have used cheap paint because it started reacting badly so I just ordered a kurookie bumper and going to paint the oe skirts white along with the rear bumper. I dont have tons of money to put into it so I am only doing a few things. and I got the car from a infinity master.tech and he has done all the schedued maintenance on the vehicle already so I got lucky. And I will be painting the roof black with blue pearl in it

Is there any suggestions that need to be done on her. Not looking for.performance either just looks. Also the car gets about 340 miles a tank. Is this normal?

Welcome to the G community! ^^ love that idea and id your going for looks, how about exhaust and bbk. Of course when you have the money. Just take your time when doing this. Dont want you to run out of money.

Nice car, my wife has the same wheels on her car. Your drop looks about the same. I know they're Work knockoffs but the offsets are just right for the Sedan. You can get them for like $560 shipped on ebay now, lol! I wouldn't want her driving on anything that cost more!

I actually really like these wheels. I plan on lowering her on 350z coilovers soon also. It is def one step at a time. Also my girl drives the car sometimes too so I really dont want expensive wheels on her . Exhaust is getting done tomorrow. Doing custom straight pipe to dual tips out the back

Your car isn't lowered already? Once you paint the side skirts, it will look 100x better. Only problem with your car is the doggie door!

Get rid of the Sterns and window visors, drop the car, 05 tail lights, 05 trunk debadged, exhaust, get rid of the door protector strip thing on the doors, fix the rear bumper, and paint the lower plastic to match the rest of the car. Or better yet, get some side skirts and rear lip. Do the front emblem delete diy mod if you have time as well.

Yes the car is lowered on s tech springs but its still way too high for me. All my past cars have been on the ground haha.
The sterns? You dont know how bad I want 05 tails and the trunk. I hate the doggie door trunk. I would get skirts and lip but I really dont have that money. trying to buy a house too guys lol. Does anyone have the diy on the front grill? I blacked mine out but want a debadged one. Im also thinking about trim blacking all the chrome strips on the car. How much does the 05 trunk and tails usually cost? Also have a oe rear bumper sitting here I need to paint. Will paint both bumpers and the skirts at once. How do you take the door protector off? Is it just double sided taped on? Exhaust will be done tomorrow though

I think the door protector is indented on the Sedan's, not like the coupe's(which I still have on lol)... You have alot of plans! The 1st thing is to paint the skirts and any other diy you can,it will look so much better-- then roll till you get your money together

Most everything I am doing I can do myself. I am also thinking of shaving the doggie door off this trunk and make a m3 style spoiler for it. Basically only things I need to buy if I cant shave the trunk is coilovers, trunk, tail lights.

^ +1 on that

Its a good looking car, there is NOTHING you really need to do with it right now. Just enjoy it for a bit. I've never gotten 340 on a tank.
