Deuce's Progression thread ! ! ! ! !
I am going to document the journey of my G35 in this thread 
Owned it for 2-3 years now and had my ups and downs with it, almost sold it, but decided to keep it and put it through a transformation this year once and for all. I created a wishlist awhile ago but never fulfilled it. Hopefully now i will.
Started out like this, 03 Brilliant silver sedan with 64,000 miles:
Installed tints, got the Z spring combo
Full Matte black vinyl wrap!
the process..
Time to paint headlight housing and grille to match
Z-tube installed
after alot of work, here it is..
Decided to purchase some wheels. Not the best out there but I enjoyed them for a month or two, then the front offset really started to annoy me :/
Would've looked much cleaner with another inch or 2 drop i know!
my favorite part (the back end)
Now it sits without the wheels, and at the exact moment it is half matte black and half brilliant silver
I am currently taking the vinyl off, and cleaning up the left over adhesive which is annoying.
I also purchased a non-doggy door trunk with filled in holes and it is currently getting painted BS.
Feels good to go back to brilliant silver, i truly missed it.
Hopefully I will be nearly finished by this years sedan gathering. looking forward to seeing you all!
Will be updating this thread with pictures as time progresses.

Thanks, its something ive never seen before so i tried it. All the new cars come with all red nowadays
Bad news though, the vinyl ripped off the paint off the front bumper :/ and im sure it wiill be the same with the back bumper. What are some good aftermarket front bumpers? What are my options.
