Talking 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:

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.

Nice, see you added the lip since the last pic you posted a while ago. Think lip will look better painted. Also should get some lugs the same color as the Brembo. I'll probably see you around. By the way, what specs did you get for the rims?

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

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

Don't know the color code but I think any gold colored lug should accent it nice as trying to paint the lugs brembo color would not be worth it & probably look bad. You know the offsets on them?

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.
