Hey guys!

I just recently traded my old car in for a 2006 G35 sport 6MT Black with charcoal grey interior!

Only had 33k miles on it for a 4 yr old car, not too hateful.

I've driven it through one tank of gas, and I'm in love with this car

The day I bought it:




















No Brembo though, I'm looking into making that my first big upgrade.

Any recommendations for engine mods that are good $/hp ? I will be looking through the rest of the site and getting acquainted

Did you buy that from Byers in Dublin? I swear, I looked at that car not long ago! I ended up getting mine from a dealer in NC and had them drive it up to columbus. Same all over...just auto. Welcome to the site! I don't know how you are handling this snow we just got with those Kumho SPT's though. I had those and wouldn't dare drive in the snow. With snow tires, this car is livable in the winter.

I vote for keeping the stock 19's. They are really nice for stock wheels. It's your call though. Good luck man. Only a few more weeks (hopefully) of this crappy weather.

I just need to come up with another pair of rims for winter wheels is all, I'm happy to keep my stock rims as my main

Gunmetal grey on black looks wicked, I will probably end up going that route.



Random pic I found, the gunmetal on black fits very well together.

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone!
