Hey guys I'm from Chicago. I just bought an 03 coupe a little over a month ago. This car has been my dream car since I first saw it when I was 14 and I finally got my hands on one after a lot of hard work. Upgraded from a minivan so I'm pretty excited about it to say the least. I've been working on it pretty much everyday since I picked it up. Not planning anything major, maybe new rims, touch up body work. Although, I did get my spoiler wrapped in black carbon fiber the other day. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

No automatic, and so far the G does decently well in the snow.

You really would benefit from snow tires.

Just wanted to post an update on my mods. When I got the car it was completely stock. I plan on keeping the car stock as far as performance goes. So far I've added black carbon fiber vinyl wrap to the spoiler, side mirrors and door pulls. I painted the front lip black to cover up some curb rash, and I also paint the grill black. I refinished my rims because the curb rash was pretty bad on them. I sanded them down and painted them gloss black. I tinted the side markers, and I am just waiting on more tints to come in for the tail lights. Eventually I want to get projectors, maybe some spacers, and maybe a few other visual mods.

congrats on the new G! Got an 05 last Saturday... Upgraded from a CRV ... Hard work definitely has its rewards!
