G35 coupe from beginning to now
**UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 2013**
Hey whats up guys. I've seen a few people do this so I figured I would do the same. Just posting a few pics of my G from when I bought it bone stock to how it sits now. I finally got a few add ons that I really like. Let me know what you guys think. Input would be awesome. I have been looking at a lot of different coupes and you guys have given me some great ideas. Hopefully this can help others looking to mod their car as well. I guess its also a fun little project for me to track the mods I have done for my car. Enjoy!
Bought from 1st owner in August of 2011:
Painted stock 18's matte black:
Painted the headlight bezels black and got clear side markers, plasti dipped the grille and side markers matte black:
Got Varrstoen Te37 replica rims:
Lowered it on tein s-tech springs and tokico blues and got an N-1 lip:
By far my favorite addition so far, the carbon fiber hikkatadori trunk:
As of January 2013:
Got bored with the "Murdered Out Look", Painted my rims bronze:
Bought 06 Projectors and of course painted them black:
July 4th I bought a carbon fiber grille:
August of 2013, I decided to buy a new front bumper, its a strafe speed. Wanted to go with something different:
How she sits now as of October 2013:
Please let me know what you guys think. Any advice/input would be sweet!

I have an oem exhaust, but I chopped out the muffler and ran pipes to the tips. It sounds pretty janky but surprisingly it sounds nice, so I decided to keep it.
I won't hate on the Kings, second favorite team, gotta love Dustin Brown. Now if we were talking about the Ducks we would have some issues haha

Tell me about it! I want to lower it so bad, but where I live it isn't practical. I have to cross a small private bridge to get to my house every day. Basically I bottom out every time I cross as there is really no room for a good angle because the bridge is so narrow. It really is a sad story and it kills me to not slam it.

Thats actually a good idea, do you know the color code for brembo brakes? I would wanna try to get them as close to the real color as possible.
The rims are 9.5x19 (front) with a 225 tire and 10.5x19 (rear) with 245.
Thanks for the advice

Yea I needed a lip desperately. I am considering painting the lip, I am just concerned about rock chips and scuffs.

[QUOTE=fchdx;6663619]Looks good! Where did you get the plastic piece for the turn signal?
Go CANUCKS! [/QUOTE
Since the headlight mod is completely custom, there isn't anyone who sells just the circular clear plastic piece. So I went to Home Depot and bought a sheet maybe 2'x4' of fluorescent lighting plastic sheet and roughly cut out the shape of the turn signal, then used a dremel for the fine work and stuck it in place. Worked out nicely.
