FINALLY! Some good progress (Pics)

Sooo.. I got my car around 2 and a half to 3 years ago. Forgot exactly when and too lazy to take out the folder with all the records. Didn't get around to taking too many pics and I didn't want to either because progress had been really slow due to money issues because parts aren't cheap and i've got other things to spend money on like school and etc.

Anyways.. I finally got my body kit finished along with my wheels put on so figured it'd be a good time to post some updated pics. Might of missed out a few things.

When I first got the car.





First thing I did was throw in some LEDs to replace the old interior bulbs






Did some paint correction and detailed everything.





Not sure what I was thinking at the time, but I thought those chrome pillar stick ons would look cool so I bought those lol

At the Riverside Infiniti car meet. Won a set of clear corners from a raffle.





Next, I got Sean to install his grounding kit and his air intake and I got a Z-tube along with a revup airbox.





Then I traded in my car and bought a GTR



not reallly..



Then I got that 5/16 plenum spacer plus Hotchkis sways front and rear. I don't have a pic of that. Had an urge to redo the engine bay. Most of the stuff in it was stuff bought from other people. I couldn't resist the good deals lol.






Next.. my head unit died so I had to replace it with something else. I never got around to taking a pic of it. Fitment is a bit off so the border thing sticks out a little bit.



That's the headunit. Got one of Toolboothwilly's undertrays, bought a used set of Rays lugs for cheap off of someone here, SPL compression rod bushings and Whiteline LCA bushings.




Then... replaced front and rear brakes. Slotted rotors from R1concepts and Hawk HPS pads. Got a set of reps from Varrstoen and bought a new set of Muteki Burning Blue lugs. New tires finally.. set of Hankook V12s.

Started work on the bodykit and got the front bumper and the sideskirts, but the guy forgot to paint the grill and fitment for the rear lip was off. Then I ran into issues with the MAF sensor and ended up replacing a few other things.. like the ball joints and etc. Then 6 months later after I started putting together the body kit.. it was finally finished. Left the ISO at 1600 and forgot to change to change it when I took the pictures so ignore all the noise. Wanted to change out the headlights, but my phone died after 3-4 years so that money had to go toward a new phone.








Look at that kid. He looks so happy

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Looking good P, just need a little drop to complete the look. And all, that's the way stock sedans sit. Not sure why Infiniti designed the car that way.
