updated with some pics

Woooooord so I finally got around to getting the grille I wanted, intake, and changing up my center console... So here's some pictures of everything, I have a grounding kit in the mail, along with 06 projector headlights ($250 brand new, no ballasts, I couldn't resist haha) and am painting the rear difuser, grille, and roof black to match with the rims and give my car the look I'm going for. I really plan on getting the vortech supercharger kit once I find a reliable shop in central florida for Gs...anyone with any info or comments/suggestions is greatly appreciated.















I am really stoked with the way everything came out and the fitment of the grille. Intake really did make a noticeable difference and I'm hoping that the SSV plenum and supercharger can be on soon, maybe before the end of the year if I find a shop.

haaa the thing about those is that they allow me to stick a 285 on the rear and 245 up front, I paid $250 for them brand new and really want to save up for something a lot nicer and the look I want, but for now they're ok lol... I really want a front lip!! which one do you thing is the best (fitment and looks) I really don't know my options and searching prevails hundreds of threads that remind me of how much I should be working on school work instead of reading threads hahaha

thank you for the comment and suggestion!!

ings front lip would look sick, especially if you molded it in and painted the vents black. Would go with the grill perfect.

thats a weird lookin shift ****!
But it looks ok, why the black grill? Nothing else is black but your wheels....to pull off the black open mouth grills you need black lower vents, black headlights, roof, etc. But if you plan on doing that then disreguard that, but as is, it looks kinda tacky!...

Yeah I plan to do the whole "black everything" if possible.

Yes it's an auto that's been booted... I got the shift ring and boot from a junkyard in Tampa for 350z and G35s and then just cut holes in the center console carefully and popped it in place.

I think I really want to go with the OEM lip just havent figure out if thats what I wanna do or the whole Greddy bumper upgrade so I can have a fatty front mount instead of the 2 small ones... like I said not sure yet, I might wait for a shop and see what they have to say.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions!

not diggin your current set of wheels, but I read that your going to upgrade down the line.
the auto booted to look like a manual is interesting.
I wonder how a DG/black combo will look...

paint the grill silver, unless you paint the top half of the car black (roof, hood, and trunk). it just looks out of place...

I don't understand why you would take pic of your G35 in this condition....filthy. And then post the pic on Driver where we take pride in
what we drive.... Installing a grille and leaving it in primer? If you
can't afford to paint the grille leave it off until you can! Sorry....FAIL!
