DTRUONG_112's G35 Sedan Build Thread (Updated 7/13/12)
 

Just picked up a 2003 KYO G35 sedan with 153k miles on it. Pretty much stock all it's life. Didn't even have tint on it. I traded my 2005 Scion tC in for it. Figured I would make a progress thread to highlight some features becuase I have some big plans in the works for it.

Here it is first day of ownership 6/18/12:

I know I need to slam the G, I have Stance coilovers already ordered and I plan on doing a retrofit for the stock halogens this week. Also getting tint because the summer here in AZ gets a little hot. More updates this week.

Dayumm that Scion was clean!

Im not a fan of TCs but yours was nice, cleanly modded. I like that color better than the G's lol

Thanks.

The black sand pearl will be missed, I couldn't be picky with with G color choice because I got such a great deal on the trade.

nice pick up...looks like the sedan was well taken care of. What's next?

Congratulations, i did the same upgrade back in 07.

Stance GR+ coilovers and projector retrofit. After, not sure if I want to do a set of wheels first or get the HD front with nismo sides and rear and HD trunk. Decisions, decisions.

Nice, so did you go with Stance coils too?

Picked up some new goodies today 6/25/12

I will be installing the corners today. The specs on the wheels are 19x9.5 &10.5 +12 all around. I will have to pick up some Federal 595 for them. Thinking 205/40 and 215/40, thoughts on the tires? Should I go with a 35 series instead?

waste no time haha, i love fast progression threads

Yeah, none wasted at all. Waiting on the coils to come in. Have to get my fenders rolled too.

Those tires are wayy too skinny. Get 225's for the front and i guess 245's for the rear if u want a stretch

^Think so? I had 17x10 all around on my tC in the pics above and ran 205. I was thinking about doing 215 all around or even 225 for the rears. My buddies always told me I was crazy with my stretch.

That corolla in the back round of your pics I hate it with a passion. I see him driving all the time. But I can't wait to see your car finished off to a great start.

This one

^Why do you hate that one with a passion?
