also replaced interior bulbs with white leds and added z-tube and k&n filter. have a 5/16 spacer but was damaged being shipped so i have to wait for a replacement. should be installed soon though.. my next thing will be lowering springs. im trying to decide which ones to go with. i do not want to lower my car more than an inch and still want to keep the same ride

Looks great. Vossen wheels are the way to go. I like Eibach's personally. Haven't seen the exact drop on a G yet but the search button yields great results.

Some spacers would be a nice way to go, however if you can go to NAPA and get replacement studs. Only reason I say that is because I bought 25mm spacers with the original studs and busted a wheel when I drove away. Sheared three studs off clean when I hit a pot hole. I think it was TOO BIG at the time, needless to say it was a pricey mistake.

Looking forward to seeing more progress pictures. Any chance you can get interior shots with the new LEDs and the Z tube and the like. I'm a stickler for engine bay pics.
