Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum, well kind of.. i've been lurking for a little while now
My name is Tim, im 24 and from Connecticut
I just purchased an 08 G35x at 49k miles and i love it so far, my old car was a 00 mercury cougar that i had for 7 years. The G is like driving in a completely different world compared to the cougar haha and the AWD will be so new to me this winter as ive been driving a FWD for the past 7 years

I've had the car for a month now so i've only started off doing a few small mods, i worked as an auto body painter for 6 years and recently got into the powdercoating field and i professionally detail cars on the side so this car is lucky it fell into the right hands!
So far all i have done is
Debadge the trunk except for the infiniti emblem
Black out the back emblem and chrome deck lip
Black out the front grill
I sanded down the taillights and taped off the reverse lights and brought them to my old shop and got them tinted the right way, we mixed black tint with a clear base, sprayed a few coats until we got the desired darkness, peeled off the tape masking the reverse light and then applied two good wet coats of clear on top
I also just this past weekend took my headlights apart and painted the chrome satin black using SEM Trim black, i followed G35Papa's DIY here on the forums and they came out amazing! i was weary about putting my brand new headlights in the oven but i was very confident in my abilities to do a good job seeing how many other people have also done it

Im currently saving up to get some wheels and coilovers but thats a big purchase so im taking my time with it, i want to ride out this winter first and look to installing them next spring
I also want to pick up a rear diffuser and front lip soon, ive noticed that there is slim pickins for an 08 sedan haha
Thanks for checkin me out and im glad to be here!
i dont have many pics of my car yet but here are a few of the cosmetic changes i mentioned

 

Car looks good man
Tails are an overkill though. Starts to look childish goin that dark

 

Whats up Tim,

I'm also coming from the Boston and New Haven, CT areas so I know how much that AWD will come in handy for our nasty winters. G35 looks nice man but I have to agree with jerseytaylor, the tailight tints are a bit overkill. Front looks dope tho.

 

Welcome from MA! I just picked up my 07 this week! Best of luck with the car!

 

Thanks guys o/
I see what youre saying about the tails, I know its not for everyone but I love them personally and they look 10x better in person imo
