G35 Build

Hello, as some of you may or may not know...I purchased Redhot6mt's G35 totaled about 8 months ago and basically this is where it sits or at least most of the car. I am 17 years old and have always wanted a G35 but the budget was never really there and this was just the opportunity for me. I had a shell already and the Redhot's G was the perfect donor car. I was originally going to cut my good shell and just repair the crashed G but I knew it would lose some structural integrity so what I did was transfer every single part you can think of from the red G into the shell(blue G). I have been working on and off it for about 6 months and it will be going into the body shop for paint in about a week or two. I have been contemplating on wether or not to change the interior from tan to black but that will be in the future. After the paint. Redhot already had some mods but I decided to take it a bit further than his list and add some of my taste. Well here are the pics before, after, and now.
"Mods" so far:
Kinetix Plenum
HKS Rep w/ magnaflow x pipe
Paintmatched Brembo Calipers
Red Lug Nuts
Nismo Side Skirts
Chargespeed Rear Bumper
Kuruma Z front bumper
Metra double din kit( iPad mini going to be retrofitted)
Alpine type R components Front and rear
Alpine 4 channel amp
2 12 RE SE 12's and a US Amps md2d
Kinetik battery under hood and in trunk
Sub box is in the spare tire well

I have some other things I can add to it but at the moment I'm not sure if I will put them on yet.

I've done everything on it, and plan on doing it all except for the paint.

Its going to be the OEM Laser Red, I have some concave split 5 spoke wheels but still undecided if I should put them on. It might go out to the body shop on Sunday since I actually removed all the body parts to make it easier for the paint guy.

Thanks man. Yes I will post pics when completed. I decided to go with black interior but that won't be getting started on until the whole car is painted. For just ***** and giggles I wrapped the clock trim and a pillars in suede and it came out real nice. I was going to start on the whole iPad mini retrofit but I couldn't find the trim piece the whole day haha.It must be laying around somewhere but i couldn't find it. I plan on molding out of fiberglass and embedding some magnets into the top of it to hold it in place, and also leaving it a little smaller on one corner so i can remove it if need be. I already have the audio part of it sorted out its connected to my car through bluetooth so thats not a problem. The only issue that I think I might have is that I have factory nav so some of those features may be rendered useless. I've tossed around the idea of having rear camera being used during the day and an infrared front camera used during nighttime since I did run over a dog in my other car which turned out to be pretty expensive. Or if that seems like to much going on ill just get a cubby from a non nav G and call it a day. But the fun part is I might have it gone off to the body shop today or friday. I got everything off so that I know they paint all the little crevices and the paint won't start peeling a few months or years. Its coming together I want it to be done by April at the very latest since 1 that is my birthday month and 2 on the week of my birthday thats also prom weekend so I would like to have it ready by then. Thanks for the support!

As far as the nav screen, I always wanted to take it out and replace it with a screen capable of running video and putting a real DVD player where the map reader is. I go on road rips a lot and it would just be for my gf (or pornog when I'm alone), but having two screens is the dopeness (assuming a double din stereo screen as well).

You're sure you don't wanna build a crx with the body kit hangin off and 6 different colors of body panels, Bondo showing everywhere and eBay "Euro lights". Like the rest of the kids your age?
