GT-Spec Install Part Deux

Ok...so I decided I would keep my 2008 G35S after the lease is up in March.

I've done the following as mods:

1. Front sport lip spoiler
2. rear spoiler
3. black wrapped roof
4. tinted heads and tails
5. BQuiet sound deadening on entire interior and trunk
6. MRR HR2 19" rims (staggered)
7. Retractable Licence plate frame (not installed)
8. Fog lights (being put in this weekend)
9. Signal Mirrors from (can't remember)
10. Midnight Grill
11. White parking bulbs

Drum Roll Please.....

GT-Spec 6 Point Rear Subframe and Front SubFrame Tie Brace! Installed and I cannot tell you how much difference this makes. Subtle yet distinct. This is the way the car should have come from the factory. I'm in love again.

Next week I'll be doing the Rear Lower Lateral and then the Front Subframe.

Pics will be posted later.

this is the best 450 I have ever spend on a car.

Just my .02.

Some crappy phone pics of my car....

The 6 point and the two rear tie bars are the best!

+1 they made a far greater change than I ever expected.
..& I can't say that about most other mods.

I am not Suprised.

I had similar things on my Lexus and they made the car feel totally different and more composed.

Glad to hear they work well they are on my wish list.

Ugh i'm in such a dilemma , I've got nearly all the GT Spec braces installed.

I just need to install the front 4-point frame which should be done by tomorrow.

Now where i have difficulty is convincing myself that the 6-point braces will not scrape , I have to drive through the crappiest roads here it's unbelievable especially when going over those puncture ramps my car already scrapes especially if I have a passenger with me.

My question is who here has noticed that their car scrapes more after fitting the 6-point braces? any feedback on driving on rough uneven roads with these installed would be appreciated. I really want to get it, I just don't want it to rip out my whole bottom end one day

what are these supposed to do? just "tie" the car together better, make it feel more of a unibody type frame?
