Hey everyone, just bought my G on Friday! I'm so freaking hyped!!!!! Sad thing is...the cars in Houston and I live in Chicago suburbs...gotta wait for it to get shipped here

Anyways, just introducing myself to the forums. Seems like there's lots of good stuff here. Can't wait til I can post my own pics!!

 

Welcome to the thread....hopefully she is everything you are expecting it to be.

 

congrats! cant wait for some pics haha.any plans on modding

 

Yeah I definately want to mod it, just gotta come up with the cash.

First thing I wanna do though is replace the stock spoiler with a gialla.

Then probably work on the interior before I get back to any exterior stuff. After all, I can't see what the car looks like when I'm drivin it

 

how was it buying a car outta state?
would you receommened it, do it again??
and what was the shipping charge like??

 

Kind of a hassle to buy out of state, but this was the perfect car I was looking for. IP+Wheat+6MT was sooo hard to find. The dealer selling this car close to me was asking $31,000 so for $25,000 it was definately worth the hassle.

And lucky for me my mom had a friend in Houston who went to the dealer for a test drive.

I wouldn't recommend it, if you can get it locally definately do it that way.

Shipping was quoted around 700-1200, but I talked one company down to 675. If you're thinking of shipping make sure you go through a carrier not a broker.

 

Where do you stay in chicago? I'm in Schaumburg. Good pick on the Gialla Spolier. You will want to order it as soon as possible. It has been four months and mine STILL hasn't arrived. They are manufactured in Japan when an order is placed. Then they have to wait till a shipment is sent from Japan to California. Then it has to go through customs.

 

I stay in Palatine, thats like next door to you...lol. Where did you order your gialla from and how much did you pay for it? Looking to order it soon if I'm gonna have to wait months for it.

 

^ The cheapest I found was $400 from www.bulletproofautomotive.com.

 

^not replica?

 

No one makes a replica....trust me I would have bought it. It was a VERY hard buy considering it is a small plastic piece. I will spend another $500 removing my older spoiler, painting this one, and having it installed by a local shop where we get discounts. The total is almost $1000 for a spoiler.

 

word

 

Congrats

 

Congrats! I had to get mine shipped too but it was worth it!

 

Its finally here...at 3 AM this morning walked, in the rain, 6 blocks to meet the truck to pick mah Babeh up. It was worth every second of the wait as soon as she wrapped me in her arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
