I currently own a completely stock 2008 G35xS and I am looking to do some minor mods. I previously owned a 2004 G35 coupe and while I love me current car, its not quite the head turner as the original coupe was.

I am really having a difficult time determining the best bang for my buck on my potential mod list. I have about $900 set aside to do some mods. I am considering:

1. Tint (I live in PA, so I have the legality of tint issues that you may have read in another recent thread)
2. OEM accessory sport front lip
3. mild drop (need the clearance as I deal with snow)
4. axle back exhaust

I will be doing the work myself (except #1) so installation cost is not an issue.
If I were to drop, I figure that I am going to need a rear camber kit at a minimum and I would probably want to run spacers also, which will chew up alot of what I have to spend. I will be staying on the stock 18s.

I am not complete sold on the sport lip as I have not seen it in person and some of the pictures I have seen on here are hit or miss, depending on the angle of the picture. I really like the journey lip on the sport bumper mod, but I am not sure I want to cut my bumper as is required with that mod.

Any suggestions or thoughts? I am really stuck and if I don't act soon, I will end up doing nothing which should not be an option.

Thanks - Jim

 

IMO tint should be the first mod on the list. It looks so much cleaner and it's not very expensive. If you're lookin to turn heads I'd just save up some more $ and buy a nice set of wheels you like. That's the first thing people notice. Neither a drop or a sport lip are gonna "turn heads" to anyone that doesn't drive a G.
