Ya im thinking about getting spacers. How do you make sure they stay tight? Thats the only thing im worried about

 

Hubcentric spacers. Bolt them on to your existing studs. Torque em down. Retorque after 100miles.
B2autodesigns sells them.

 

Retorque after only 100 miles? Ill have to tighten them everyday!

 

You only have to re torque them once. A lot of people dont re torque at all.

 

Oh ok lol cool

 

Less is more with the G35.. Lower it and put spacers on the wheels and do the oem 06 exterior parts and you're golden..

 

I decided not to paint the spoiler or anything, if i do something like that ill just buy the carbon fiber spoiler that is the same as the stock one. Also today im painting the drip rails because they look nasty. Ill post step by step instructions with pictures for anyone who wants to do it as well

 

I believe they jus pop off. I could be wrong tho lol.

 

Yes they do, and a lot easier than youd think. Im halfway done and ill post in the morning what all i did.

 

Alright so as i said my drip rails were nasty









Step 1: remove the rails by pulling it towards you gently with your fingertips, and then slide a flat head screwdriver into the space behind the rail. Take a microfiber cloth and slide it in between the roof and your screwdriver so you dont scratch your paint. Pry up gently with the screwdriver to pop the rail up.




Step 2 is optional depending on if the plastic has started to flake off and shows the metal like mine had.
Scrape all the plastic off the top (just the top not the sides) with a razor blade or the like. I dont have a picture of this step as i was rushed for time at that point.

Step 3: sand the surface to provide a uniform surface for the paint to stick to better. I used a medium grade sandpaper and it ended up looking like brushed nickel.

Step 4: apply your first coat. This should be light and should barely cover the surface and allow to dry. I used a high heat enamel spray paint but any paint should work fine.

Step 5: repeat step 4 with a slightly heavier coat.



Step 6: your drip rails should be ready to be re installed at this point. Simply place the rails back into place and push down and they should pop back in




None of these steps have to be done perfectly. Most likely you will be the only one to notice but i do think it looks much better than before.

 

congrats on your new G! always fun starting off with a clean slate.

 

Thanks! Im loving mine so far. Its a great car.

 

Sorry its been so long guys, I've been busy lately with school starting. A couple of weeks ago I spent around
700 on a new radio. I bought the ungodly exspensive jdm double din kit and a pyle pldn74 bt 7" touch screen with blue tooth. As youre all explicitly aware I had quite a challenge putting it in lol, especially to keep the steering wheel controls. Anyway im very happy with it. Sounds amazing even without a sub! (Thats next).

 

Keeping it stock in appearance, but it sounds mean and handles ...





Changing a corroded compression arm. I won the battle.

 

Nice job on the double-din install. Looks clean man.

Its always better to pay the high price for quality than cheap and ugly.
