Post pics up after you de-badge because i need to see some freshly de-badged pics AND we wanna see some pics of your ride.

And no ****! These tires are crazy expensive, AND YOU CAN'T ROTATE!... haha, worst of both worlds. Except for the fact that they're able to grip and go fast.
Have you seen any g's on here with that staggered stance? I like how we sit now but thats a solid idea of having the front lowered a tad, i'd like to see what that looks like if its been done before. Sounds like you're going to have one heck of a head-turns-so-fast-to-stare-at-how-sweet-your-car-looks-that-it-gets-a-cramp g.
it's minez... but i had a very small amount of paint on two of the letters come off when i was debadging: hardly noticeable unless you look close, but i know it's there so it kills me!! i was impatient and didn't use HEAT to soften the gooey adhesive so you may wanna do that by use of a heat gun or blow dryer, then use some floss to remove the letters and/ or badges and then goo gone to remove whatever adhesive you have left...
wow... i DEFINATELY need a camber kit... and some spacers!!

. Question: i know what the camber kit will do but what do the spacers do? Do they extend the wheel further away from the axle, away from the car? Or what?
Thanks again!

yup its a def purchase, but im still debating with the spacers what size to get coz lets say i lowered the car with the camber kit,spacers installed and the camber angle set to factory spec, you think it'll rub...if it does then im gonna have to get the fenders rolled, lol too much isht ! so are you debadging or rebadging ?

I need to do that, especially when summer rolls around. I'm guessing there's a supportive market of g-drivers in the dfw area considering there's a dfw g-driver club... if only oklahoma had that level of interest/economy/non-wife beating population...

Bigd2k6, i live in southwest okc, about 5 miles south of will rogers by westmoore high school kinda. Where are you in edmond? I'm up there on rare occasions but i stick my face up north by nw expwy, penn sq, and the area around there quite a bit. I'd def be down for a little okc meet-and-greet sometime; it seems that a lot of the other states have dozens of owners that meet... poor oklahoma.
Oh, and for the latest news on the new (nearly a month old
) g, click here: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/187445-hit-semi.html
i work off the expressway but live up on 164th. i lived down in Texas and there were plenty of G's there and even made a couple of meets even though i'm completely stock. good guys down there. if you see a debadged silver G with TX plates, that's me.
