Some more recent pics. Only changes I've done since my last posts were upgraded the tails to the newer 06/07 ones and debadged the rear down to only the Mt. Fuji emblem (no pics yet). Enjoy!

Recent updates: Changed tires for the upcoming summer season (got a very good deal on a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports) also changed the front and rear spacers out for larger ones. Still looking around for a good price on oem projectors (really dont want to have to ruin the clean theme I have going with ebay projectors) with summer rolling around I might take a weekend and retrofit projectors into the oem reflectors.

Here are some old pics that I got bored and edited. Im glad the weather is getting better and will be sure to take new pics soon!

Hey guys, I recently started to self-teach myself Image Editing/Post-Processing using GIMP and Adobe Lightroom. Im still very novice in it but here is what ive created so far. The other car is my friend's Audi S4. Also the final image is an edit of an idea for a grill change that I am considering. Any input would be much appreciated!

Very nice! I'm impressed with the clean look. I too would debadge the trunk though and either find projectors or paint your current housings black. That's what I did and I'm very glad I did. Where did you find the new clearance strip though???

Nice to see an Athens Blue on here since I have one too. 06/07 projectors will really update the look of the G. I didn't change the tails since I like the circular reverse more and I dont want a non function trunk button.

Thank you! I know it isnt in the most recent pics but the trunk is debadged down to just the mt fuji emblem remaining (I need to take more recent pics). And yes projectors are still on my list of things to do, just wish they didnt cost an arm and a leg now. I may end up retrofitting as I really dont want to have to turn to some of the more hideous ebay projectors.

Love your G, man! Boosted but still nice and subtle on the outside. Amazing.
