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

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?
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!

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.
