What do you think?

What change in my cars appearance do you think I should make first (and later down the road) to make my car look nicer.
I was thinking bigger tires, different rims, clear corner lights and my car would look much better. But tires and rims are so expensive!
Thoughts?

That's such a loaded ques.
What some people may like others might not.
But here are some ideas:
-delete the pin striping
-drop the car
-get more aggressive wheels/tires
-clear corners
-black out grill
-Strafe trunk
-Add aftermarket front spoiler
-get 06' HID headlights
-maybe some debadging on the trunk

The more you research these things on here the more ideas you'll get.

I'm not convinced blacking out the grille would look good on a twilight blue G...
as for spacers, how much do those go for? Would I be able to do em without changing my wheels first?
I'm definitely going to get clear corners.
How much does it cost to have the car lowered? Isn't it kind of low already? Like, wouldnt it be the same if I just got bigger tires?

I will go for the 06-07 projector headlights first then tires & rims.

My friend changed his headlights recently, they look so cool man.

I wanna change mine too. But no $$ for now.

For spacer, I think it will let you have alil more hp.

If you are just care about the appearance then you can do that at last.

To lower your car, it is like pain in the axx. You will have to drive really careful when you are entering any plaza. If you do not mind then I will go for the lowering part after tires & rims.

You might get some bigger rims, so it depends on you for the lowering part.

Blacked out grille looks much better. Here's mine on my TB coupe as an example.

Also, does it make a big difference if my current tires are 245/45zr17 w95...
as for the grille, I might consider getting one from
https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...ricing-31.html
+ the clear corners from here

Price on spacers depends on what brands you get.
Some people prefer to get name brand, I had the ebay wheel spacers on
my ride for 2+ years and no issues.
Wheel spacers are really easy to install, take off wheel, bolt wheel spacers to hub, bolt wheels to wheel spacers.

Lowering the car can be any where from $250 - $1000k+.
If you're on a budget swapping out the springs are your ticket,
but if money is not an issue coilovers are the way to go.
Bigger tires would fill in a little bit of the wheel gap but doesn't address the offroad look our cars have stock.
I thought the coupes were fine from the factory but after being on here long enough the mod bug gets ya.
