08x with lots of future plans - oooooh that mod bug is itching!!!
Just purchased the 08x in Blue Slate with 39k on it back in April. I've been following g35driver for sometime now, knowing all along all i was doing was overloading myself with idea after idea for the mods i want. I'm going to list off my current wish list and I'm open to any and all suggestions or flames if ppl feel an idea is awful...
Future mod list:
35% tint all around
BC Coilovers
journey lip
***Custom front bumper (i want to cut out the plastic covers on the side slots and put a similar bar that is in the middle slot across both sides) then possibly build in a custom LED DRL set up on those bars.
FI Cat Back
HFC
CAI
performance headers
autox rear diffuser
gunmetal painted headlight shrouds
gunmetal 20" wheels (particular wheel undetermined - open to lots of suggestions, but concave is my current style of choice)
flat black vinyl wrap for window trim
carbon fiber vinyl wrap for roof
I've seen a lot of threads discussing the opinions on staggered wheel set ups and as far as i can tell, width does not matter - as long as rolling diamater is same as stock no issues will arise - and to me, especially with concave wheels - staggered is by far the better option...
Wheel list so far:
Forgestar f14's
custom modulare forged wheel
Vossen CV4's
DPE CS16's
And a selection of work wheels
***and if funds permit - BBK (and honestly this is just for aesthetics - so not a necessary mod)
This is going to be about a 1-2 year project - my biggest concern with all of it is my location. I want to find a reliable shop in charlotte NC - so any suggestions on that are welcome as well

Good list you have there.
You are correct about the staggered tires. The diameter is what's important. Where it becomes a bit of an issue is that you can't easily rotate the tires, as needed, to keep them the same diameter over time. Good tires are costly but a differential is even more. So keep those tire diameters close.
Looking fwd to seeing your custom LED DRL
Your wheel choices look nice. I favour the DPE's
Happy modding!
