Talking My 2003 coupe so far!!!

i have been slowly building up my g over the past few months to give it a unique look "ricer" if you want to call it but it suits my style and i didn't want it to look exactly like all of the other G's, want some recommendations on what to do next i was thinking a front lip kit and some halo projectors or a up rev tune. So far i have....
md copper iso plenum spacer
hks cutback single exhaust
aem air intake
painted calipers
red lugs and air cap
gismo badge
aftermarket grill
glossy carbon fiber vinyl wrapped hood
painted rims
debugged but mt.fuji
Thanks so much for the feedback if you take the time love to hear the bad and the good i know the style is not what a lot of people prefer but it is a little different than the usual.

looks nice, you should consider a rear diffuser to bring all the black together

Welcome to the forums, we all start off with different, crazy ideas and our cars constantly change, good thing you haven't done anything permanent, I'm sure you will develop a style for your car soon and of course make it stand out now, I'm doing the same and have a set of Volks that are not commonly used and making tastefull uncommon mods. No new pics of car exist but everyone will see it next year. Where you located OP?

I would really prefer a stock look to what you've done. There's a thread about painted stock wheels so I don't see the "different" there. I'm sure you've seen 3quarters of a million and a half cars with Painted calipers as opposed to an actual big brake upgrade. You're consistent with the lugs and cap so that's a plus I suppose. You said you didn't want to look like a poser but you wrapped your hood in carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber is used a lighter alternative to reduce weight. Soooooooooo...and Nismo is a PERFORMANCE division of Nissan. So, the 350GT would've been far more accurate in this situation. The light covers are a rarety so I you did well there?

I guess I would've liked it more if you had said "I'm just trying to put a little flair on my car on a budget. I like it. What are your thoughts?" The whole "I didn't want to look like every other car" line when you do what MOST low budget builds do is the same as "I would lower my car but I live in a construction zone" argument when the person who is 1" off the ground lives 10 minutes from you. Do what you like to YOUR car homie. It's YOUR car. If your budget doesn't allow for top shelf Ramon, don't get top shelf ramon. But don't make an excuse for it. Just let be THAT.

All that said, the single exhaust is pretty cool. I haven't seen too many on G's and I've actually tossed that idea around myself a few times. I like your performance mods. Simple, yet what you've done is effective for our platform. Kudos on that. The grill isn't horrible. Debadging is nice to add to a clean look. Here's the thing. If you debadge to add to a clean exterior, why clutter it up with a painted STOCK wheels, light covers, and carbon fiber wrap? I think it goes in the wrong direction. If that's what you like, keep it. But, I don't think any of that ADDS to your car. The exhaust, the grill, and the debadge would've been where I stopped until I saved up for wheels and suspension. If you like the stock look, go with our 19" counterpart and Eibach sportline drop. That's a budget way to create a clean new look for your car while keeping the OEM savvy and still having some individuallity. Want aftermarket wheels, look at Varrstoen or VMR or something like that. Still keeps the cost down but adds some umph to your car. Just some suggestions.
