2004 BS coupe 6mt Kentucky

Hey guys,
New to the forum and just got a 2004 g35 coupe in brilliant silver not too long ago. I use it as my daily driver right now. So far its lowered on BC coils, K&N typhoon CAI, catback exhaust (not sure of the make as it was already on the car when I bought it), "Infiniti" print shaved off the trunk, Mishimoto weighted shift **** (+2 WHP), 17" MB battles in bronze and im currently waiting on some LED fogs to come in the mail but ultimately I want to retrofit some projectors on there with a white/amber theme for the highs/lows and add some fog lights under the bumper. A twin turbo kit would also be nice if If I could find a yardsale whos employees kept them in stock Any suggestions please let me know!

if you don't want to spring for some wheels with better off sets, probably a set of spacers would go along way.

I think you're right, i think i want to take them up to 19" but for now ill probably get some spacers to bring them out from the wheel well a little bit. Thank you!

You could use some clear corners ASAP, as for the retrofit your best prices are found at the retrofit source for all the necessary components to do it right the first time. When you say white/amber do you mean 5000K/3000K?

White on top
Yellow Fog?

Lots of wheels available around you, hello from Cinci.

I was thinking about keeping the amber corners and blinkers in the headlight assembly, retrofitting the lowbeams to 5 or 6k projectors with an amber halo around them (maybe) or a switchback halo, keeping the white LEDs in the fog/highbeam spot then possibly adding amber foglights under the bumper if i could find some, im not set on anything yet and im very open to suggestions, like i said the LED high/fogs i have on the way come with the little film you can put over them to change the color but those might be a temporary thing as im a little tight on cash right now. The wheels are going to probably have to hold off for a while too until i can save up enough for something to really fill the wheel wells like i want them to, and taking the car down lower isnt much of an option right now for functionality sake

I dont know much about wheels as far as the fitment, offset, spacing goes and all that, does anyone have any suggestions for me? I like a wider stance but not too wide.

So use a site like willtheyfit to calculate the size you can squeeze into your car, I would say you have wheels in the +30 to +40 range right now, and would be looking at 1" wider wheels with offsets less then +15's.
Sounds like a cool headlight project, all the JDM fogs that people got have been sold out for years, so there is only an aftermarket fog option really. It isn't pretty either. I would keep the lower grilles clean. The bulb film you bought with the bulbs makes it have that true color you want, I used to use bulb caps and that got the same idea across. They look nice in my "ricer" opinion, and I do retrofits in my free time .

Thank you! Im kind of on the fence on weather I want to do the retrofit myself or have someone else help me out, it probably wont be for a little bit until I dive into it, how time consuming is it?
