Hey, I'm in West Bloomfield. Im driving a black 08 g35xs

 

accident repost. i dunno how to delete

 

welcome to the forums

 

Thanks. Does anyone know a place in Michigan to get my headlights painted? Good quality and a warranty would be nice.

 

pm'd

 

do it yourself or have someone else on here do it. the paint shops will rape you.

 

Agreed, do it yourself. It's not that difficult. By far the hardest part is summoning up the courage to put your headlight in the oven. The rest is easy.

2 important tips.

1. Go easy with each layer of paint. Many light coats is far better than having a layer with runs/drips.
2. Try not to touch the inside of the cover. And clean it thoroughly before re-installing. Smudges on the inside will be obvious and you can't clean them later.

 

i am thinking about picking up some new tires for the winter. i currently have 62k miles on my car and to be honest i am getting tired of it. I drive a lot and the seats are starting to hurt my leg.

i think i might need new shocks, compression rod brushing, and new tires. i am contemplating trading it in for a g37 coupe or lexus gs350

 

I'm in Grand Rapids. Not too many G's around here. Mine's going away for the winter soon though......

 

^nice and welcome. theres should be a few others near you..i know theres some in traverse city.

 

Thanks! I've been a member here for a bit, but really never posted. I'm on 6mt.net pretty much every day - same name.

Traverse is awesome. Didn't make it up there this past summer but the GF and I might go up there this winter to do some cross-country skiing.

 

I'm in TC. Bought my G35x at Pfeiffer in GRR. Welcome.

 

Yeah - I got mine at Pfeiffer also. That's pretty much the only place around here that has them.

 

love this ride... its a 5at tho but still wanna hoook it up with few things...some guys tell me just put some boost..and some guys tell me hook it up with the twin turbo..not sure wat i wana do yet.. any1 got any ideas?

i take mines out here and there on good days now that it started snowin but willing to meet up...

i actually live in border off troy and sterling heights/ on 16 and deq seen some guys in the area
would love to meet up leme kno!!

 

The AT on this car is one of the best out there. It shifts very quickly, rev matches in automanual, and shifts when it should! You're not losing much with the AT.

As for forced induction, lots of guys have done it, either turbo or super charger. I'd do lots of reading here before you decide, and don't just have anyone do it. You'll find plenty of experience and advice from members who've gone FI. TTRank has a twin turbo setup making 650+ at the wheels.

And I too love this car, especially in the winter. AWD with great snow tires is a blast. Nothing like doing a power slide around a corner. Get a little oversteer going as you turn, then give it gas to power out of it. Awesome. I love watching the moronic SUV crowd trying to drive thinking they're all that with their AWD/4WD and crappy all-seasons, and I just blow past 'em.
