Been here for almost a year now but never really done any introduction thread or told my story because I didn't want to post the millionth stock g photo thread so I waited til I had some progress done on it.

But my real name is Chris and I bought my 2005 6mt G coupe back in October 2011. I traded in my previous dream car, 03 Porsche Boxster S for it, and haven't regretted it yet, in fact every single day I grow to like my decision more and more. I love my G.

So here is my car bone stock on day one. My requirements for it were as follows. Must be 2005 (better tails than 06/07 imo, better spoiler than 06/07, refreshed interior over 03/04 and rev up), must be black, must have oem 19s, must have wing spoiler, must be 6mt, and I wanted to find one with less than 70,000 miles. I succeeded in all of those except mileage and found one at 94,000.



Waited til the summer to start doing any kind of mods. First thing I did was a rear debadge of the "INFINITI" lettering and kept the G35 and Fuji logo. The next week I painted the grill matte black.

After that I did my first real mod and bought an X02 exhaust. I know these get a lot of hate here but money wasn't the issue. I just think it sounds better than the real hks exhaust. I have it paired with the magnaflow x pipe and get zero rasp.



And the rear with the debadge and exhaust



Next my gf decided to tint my windows for Christmas this year. I got 20% on the four side windows and 5% on the rear.

Crappy pic but the only pic I have showing the tint really since I got it but itll do.


Next I found a sweet deal on ebay for some oem 06 projectors. Used but in immaculate condition. Could not pass them up for 400 shipped.


Install was kind of a pain compared to what the video showed but they came out looking sooo good Was the best feeling.



6000k Phillips Ultinon bulbs

No they aren't red thats just lens flare from my crappy camera phone.


The most recent thing I've done I actually just finished today. I did the carbon fiber vinyl wrap mod to my two aluminum center console pieces. I used 3m di-noc.




So thats it as of now. Don't have a pic of my car as a whole but its really starting to come together. I'll wait til we get good weather here in STL and I can actually clean it and use my good camera.

As for future plans I don't want to do anything ridiculous to it that changes the look of the car too much. The only other mod I have planned is some 20 inch wheels and an H-tech drop this summer.

 

looks like a good start to the car. good to see another OB coupe join the forum!
