JDM Cain's 03 Sedan Progression Thread

I've been wanting to make a progression thread for a long time and finally made time to document it as best as possible. I bought the car used back in July 2007 with only 13k miles. I'm the 2nd owner. I didn't have big plans at first, just wheels and a nice drop to minimize wheel gap. After joining G35Driver and learning from all the OG's, I was inspired and the build took off...enjoy the pictures...

Great work! It's always cool to see how the heavily modded cars took shape.

Rarely has a Sedan "come up" so quickly, in the past year your car has gone from very sick to WOW. Chris it has been a pleasure becoming friends with you and seeing your car transform. Current wheel setup is crazy sick and fits your car so well. Don't sell them anytime soon ok...LOL. One of the dopest Sedans around for sure, not another one even remotely like it!

And I know you aren't done yet....
