Arrow Hi everyone, new to the forum.

I've always known about this site but have never actually registered until now.

I have an 04 G35 Coupe. My plans with it are a Motordyne Exhaust, Art Pipes, and Plenum Spacer.

VxG welcome to the G35 Driver forums! Good choice with the mods you posted, upon completion you'll be running lean and require a Osiris tune! How are those aftermarket headlight working for ya? The '06 coupe projectors are the best upgrade if they're not bright enough while driving at night! Those orange side lights can be replaced with clears and look way better! Good Luck and enjoy the ride...Gary

Thanks everyone!

I personally like the class that the Angel Eye's give along with 6k LED's. The DRL's I put at the bottom also make it look a lot more expensive than it is.

I was thinking about replacing the side lights to some white ones but it wouldn't match the orange turn signal in the headlight... I forgot to add a tune, but yes, Osiris Tune is on the list as well.

The weather hasn't been too great over here, some rain here and there, so my G hasn't been washed in a bit. But when I do wash her, like the pic I posted, she does look like a 40k car!

yeah but the output (the part that matters) is completely useless. You owe it to yourself to retrofit in decent projectors in them and still maintain the led's/halos you like

You won't regret it at night

Those led DRLs you have are blinding other drivers on the road, as they are not marketed as accent lights. They also reduce your distance vision.

Clear corners is what you are looking for on the side lights. Not sure why you would want to match the turn signal bulb, it doesn't flash it just stays lit.

Yeah the output of those headlights isn't great either. Good space to put in a proper projector though .

You paint needs some correction also, I can tell that from the cell phone pic.

Welcome to the forum!
They're slightly pointed down, you can't tell in the pic but they mainly face the ground area directly in front of the bumper. I'm very strict on color coordination and I would not like having a turn signal bulb in the headlight orange whilst the sides are clear... Maybe if I changed the color of my brake calipers I would go clear but for now, I'm gonna stay with orange.

I'm pretty happy with my current headlights but if these go out I'll look into '06 projectors. These ones are brighter than my OEM's and I can see just fine.

And yeah, the side paint on the fender was my fault. I'm 50/50 with fender flares so that's why it hasn't been fixed yet. The front bumper one isn't as clear in person so I don't really care.
