Slowly, but don't call me surely "build"

Hey all,

I'm Jacob and last month I bought a 2005 G35x. I love the car and drive it every day for work and school. I know the car isn't going to be fast but I still would like to do a few things to make it a little more peppy and look nice.

I bought the car stock and since then I've installed a Stillen Z tube, apexi filter, and led interior lights.

I have ordered 350z tein s-tech springs and a solar wing for the rear window.

Just today I bought a set of Ray's 19's off of craigslist with tires for $400. They're a little rough and two tires are ruined but it still seemed like a good deal. I plan to have them refinished and obviously get new tires soon.

Thank you!

Once it's lowered and I get the wheels fixed and installed I'm getting a Skunk2 plenum spacer from my friend who owns a performance shop. From there I don't have plans but I'm sure I will think of something. Possibly painting the grill to match the wheels if I have them painted black. Infiniti emblem in the grille painted pearl to match the paint.

Wow... I can't believe I never even thought about it having those. They'll be gone soon.

She looks great, man! Great pick up on the Rays. YOu might want to end up looking for some spacers for it to help with the sunken in look, though I think it'll be a bit better than what the sink on a coupe. Great list of mods to get started with!

Thank you, thank you.

Fortunately I still have the spacers left over from when I drove this

Fill em! Bondo/paint.

They bi-sect the doors so horribly. It looks SO much cleaner without them.

Wellllll... I don't have the funds for that, unfortunately. Although I would like to remove them.
