Introduction and a few pictures
Hello all,
My name is Austin and I have been a lurker around here for awhile as you can see from my join date. I did a lot of searching and looking around here and found a lot of useful information. I knew I wanted an 06 and I knew I wanted IP with 19's. It took me awhile to find one in good condition with all the options I wanted but boy am I glad I waited! I ended up buying my my first G and first car for that matter around January of 2010. It sat stock for roughly a year before I finally started to mess with it. Just small things like tint, debadge etc.. I just recently this past month dove into a lot heavier and well..I'll let the pictures speak!
First day I saw her:
The previous owner liked curbs:
Floating G!:
All new:
I actually had the wheels refinished by an awesome company in Houston. They came to me and I only paid half of what 1 new wheel would cost to have all 4 wheels refinished.
Front bumper cover was in pretty bad shape and I figured if I was going to have that worked on that I would go ahead and paint my grill aswell.
Old:
New:
Then thought to myself why not paint my diffuser while it's in paint? And then said what the heck I'll throw in some rear splash guards too.
Saw the Ionic Dynamics spoiler on here and knew I had to have one. Little did I know the stock 06 spoiler is a B!*** to get off. Holy cow. It was a 2 hour ordeal from start to finish and I was working with my paint and body guy. Heres some pictures from the whole ordeal:
I think I am content with the car now but I think if a good deal on some wheels came around I would probably jump on it. Thanks for looking everyone!

You got it! Thanks for the wing
I don't have any more shots of it right now but I should be washing it soon and more pics will go up!
Thanks for the kind words. I want a set of wheels now (I know, I just refinished mine) but I want wheels that are flush with the fender. Or at least a little closer to the fender.
