Gambit2083's Progression Thread...Whoo-hoo!
 

Hello Everyone,

I finally get to do one :BOUNCE: so here goes...

I had always dreamed of owning a G sedan ever since I first seen one at carmax back in 2005. I grew up in the south (A-Town :D) and had been in the world of modding maxies for while. I first got my 2004 6mt G35 sport sedan in Feb. of 2010 for the out the door price $9,860.00. She had two accidents; one minor and one airbag deploment (both professionally repaired), Had two owners, (husband and wife) and 57K on it. She drove like a dream on the way home and I knew then...the wife was going to kill me. :bowrofl: (Pics and videos were with my BB, please forgive!) :28:

My '98 beast, ahhhhhhhh memories!

I lurked on the forums for a while then joined to figure out and do some research on my new toy...I had my brother ship me back my old school wheels, got them refinished and tossed them on the G.

Then she had to go low...OMG she had to get low! She rode good, but looked like a 4x4. Ordered some slotted and drilled for the nice look, and settled on some 350z sportlines, on stock sport struts LOL!

Wheel bug started to bite, so I fitted some wheels that I got from my brother on....I did not like! I knew I needed to roll the rears to get the next set to fit. I wanted 5 spokes and after I couldn't find and missed out on some Nismo LM GT4, I settled on some Axis Milanos Staggered!
