Finally posting on the forum newbie...pics

Hey guys new to the forum. I got the car back in june in the tampa area and finally decided to post some pics and a list of mods I want to do. I know the car needs to be lowered but I park on a steep slope in my garage so I will bottom out badly so I can't lower it. I also plan on blacking out the headlights and grill and installing the black betty grounding kit from researching on the forum. The local Infiniti dealer also wouldn't replace my steering wheel or door pulls inside from the chipping so looks like I'm gonna have to do some sanding and painting. Yay! I'm not really looking to hook up the engine too much as I didn't get this car for the speed coming from a Roush Stage 3 Mustang with 573 whp (horrible gas mileage lol). If there are any other little mods that can be done that make a big appearance or drivability difference I would love to hear. Anyways enjoy the pics and can't wait to do the grill and headlights...

Congrats on the new car! I would say that the headlamps and grille would be the best mods for cheap along with tint but it looks like you've already got that down, maybe lower it just a little bit with some Eibach springs.... not a huge drop but you would still be able to drive your G around without worrying too much. Home depot cheap front bumper under lip may look nice also with your grille and lights, possibly also painting your own rear diffuser would be nice too.

Congrats, the mustang looked good. If you want a good driveability mod that can really be felt then get Hotchkis sway bars. And for appearance get sports lip for the front and then like locksmith said painting lights and grill is a common practice which really helps with the cars looks to make it look more sporty

Thanks guys I appreciate the input. I'll have to wait on the lower springs until I move out of this place I'm at cuz I almost bottom out now from my driveway and it would certainly do it in this car. My mustang was a real issue with that the front lip got really bad. I like the sways idea because to me handling is a real importance to me. I tried to work on getting rid of the ugly chipping from the steering wheel(bothers me everyday I get in my car) but didn't know that after you take the airbag off that isn't just a trim piece that pops off. So I didn't have enough time to do it. I see a lot of people have done the carbon fiber wrap on the interior trim and haven't seen a really nice glossy black like a piano black. So I will post pics from when that project gets finished as well. The mod bug hit me so soon. Oh well gotta love it...

Good looking car. Welcome to the forum.

ETA: I'm pretty sure I have seen your car driving around before. I recognize the rims.
