~*~ 1ll3st's Build Thread ~*~
 

What up all? I'm new to the site and I recently sold my '07 Civic Si and go into '05 IP/Black G35 coupe. I was planning on getting into a newer car, but when I saw how clean this thing was I pounced on it.

The Plan:
De-badge -Done!
Black OEM Grill -Done!
Tint
Car audio
Front lip
Ztube/k&n combo
Coilovers
Work/nismo wheels
Various little odds and ends

Decided to paint the stock grill black. I wasn't feeling the black chrome grill.

Car was heating up when idle so I called infiniti and found out there was a TSB for the radiator fans and had them replaced.

It was time to replace the air filter so I ordered a K&N replacement.

That is all for now. I will keep this thread as up to date as possible. Constructive criticism is always welcome, hating is always appreciated.

Good looking IP. Welcome to the family.

What are your mod plans?

:biggthumpup:

so glad you didn't get that tan interior. congrats man!

Congrats....You've already taken the first correct step to owning a Infiniti

IP/Black.. Congrats to owning such a rare combination!

Thanks all!! The color combination is what really prompted me to jump on it. White/black is my favorite combo.

As far as mods go, nothing too wild (in order of Priority):
Tint
Car audio
Front lip
Ztube/k&n combo
Coilovers
Work/nismo wheels
Various little odds and ends

Anyone upgrade their speaker, but retained there stock head unit? What's the sound quality like? Did you go with 2ohm speakers?

Agree. Making the purchase is essential to ownership.

:p

Decided to paint the grill today. Pics on the first post
