I highly recommend IGT for their carbon fiber trim. A few of you may remember me doing my carbon fiber wrap of the trim before I picked up the pieces from IGT and it is just night and day. The wrap just did not hold a candle to the true carbon fiber panels. A couple pics for those who are not familiar with it.

Thanks guys, it makes the world of difference when it is the real thing IMO.
It actually cost more then $1k... it was just about $1k for the door and dash trims when I bought mine so that doesn't include the shifter and dash panel.![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I just loved the look when I first saw the carbon fiber in a different finish in Ians G when I first bought my car.
Here is the thread if anyone wants to see more pics of it. Not trying to jack the thread.![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

This is what i did to my engine bay. This picture is old and haven't updated my pix yet. I did more work in the past 7 months. I try to do most of it myself to save money. Maybe it will give you some ideas on what to do to yours. I am now starting to work in the interior of the car, but still working in the engine bay.

so i installed everything this weekend and even gave the G a wash and wax in 40 degree weather and i forgot my camera... fail ![Banghead](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif)
I love the nifty shifty boot! awesome work Locksmith!
very straight forward install.
I also installed my BB grounding kit. To be honest i wasnt expecting much but thats just me being me. I m no expert when it comes to EE but i dont think a couple of wires running from one side of the engine bay to the other is going to do much.
Sorry for the long read but this is my opinion of the grounding kit:
I followed the instructions posted online by BB.
After installing the grounding kit i didnt notice any difference my center console wasnt any brighter my stereo wasnt any louder or crisper at least i didnt notice a difference. when i started to drive around i did notice was the throttle response when i hit the gas, but that was probably from the ECU being reset. Also to my surprise the gears are shifting alot smoother. there is always this one steep hill on base that when i hit the brake the car would have a very rough down shift that would cause my body to jerk forward, but now that i have the grounding kit in i have yet to experience this rough shift. i attempted to recreate the down shift multiple times but no luck. So i guess it would have to be the grounding kit.
One problem i did run into was when i was installing the LEDs i accidentally shorted out the fuse which i dont know how i plugged the back passenger side dome light in and all of a sudden i saw a spark and none of the interior lights would come on. i changed out the fuse from the fuse panel and all the lights work again except for the rear passenger dome light i think something in the housing might have shorted out too...
so i guess i ll be making a trip to the stealership.
lastly the radar detector works great and the whole GPS and memory thing is very neat and handy![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
For my next Mods i have decided to go with:
Sway Bars (already ordered waiting till end of February)
FI Exhaust (i love the way the intake sounds so i want MOAR!!)
