It's been awhile, updates (pics)

I was close to selling the G but Im going to hold off for another year or so. Decided to give the car a little refresh so I painted the wheels and brought back the vinyl overlay. Everything is OEM aside from the ravspec rear spats. Engine is stock aside from UpRev tune. Only one more thing coming and thats blacking out the window trim. Other than that, its done until I decide to sell. Pics...

Looks great! Good decision to hold off another year imo since it will give you a few more options to choose from with Q50 and a few other new models rolling in while you enjoy another year in this G but of course with a newer shape the value of the older shape goes down too so its a win loss situation i guess

Great color on the wheels. What car are you looking at for replacing the G?

Damn nice aspirations
Bat, if you need a DIY for your window trim here you go, it's cheap & easy

Nice. If I had to choose one, I'd go with the merc.

Hey bat,
I take it those are still the S springs you installed (as opposed to the X)?

Looks great and yes, the c63 amg is an excellent beast. That v8 growl it has is amazing.

You should probably include a "gently used" GTR to your wish list

I know it's on mine

Looks great regardless!
I still have a set of S springs sitting in a box, ready to swap out my eibachs for a bit more comfort. The X springs, like you know, are too high and your setup looks perfect.

You mind sharing what profile tires those are on your 19's?

im rocking the S springs which have the rear as low as I want. Everything I have seen online, shows the front drop of the Tanabe to match my rear. I may also go back to swift springs...
