Am I one of the few that thinks it turned out pretty cool overall? There are aspects I don't like, i.e. the bottom led's not lining up properly to the lip, chrome door handle, wheel sizes, etc. But the build is amazing and looking forward to when it's finished..

If you have the ability to “do it better”… then just do it.

Don’t sit behind your computer with your stock G35 telling a guy that has gone completely outside the box with a very unique project what he did wrong.

I’ve never seen anything like this, and neither has anyone else – so who’s to say what it should be…
You're missing the entire issue here. The biggest problem it appears that people have with the end result is that we have all been excited to see the TS front with the M45 light retrofitted, resembling the photoshopped g45 concept car.

I don't think anyone would have been crazy about this build if they knew from the start that the OP was just combining an M45 front with a TS widebody kit...

Yeah the V8 was nuts..but there has been quite a few Zs with the Titan V8 and a chopped top G35 from performance factory with the same V8...I guess people are numb at this point. I fully understand projects such as this never follows the schedule you set, but given the current situation, people have long since pass the point of first day excitement.

Are some people on this forum retarded or dumb a** f***, I just said with the factory ecu not a standalone. When did performance factory ever finish their car? I know they took it to shows just was not aware they ever turned it on. U know I'm really tired of certain haters who if u check their comments are always posting something negative. If u don't like the car say it once, stop hating, and never come back to this thread.

Ps. I dont give a f*** if i'm the first or the 1,000th but at least I turned my car on and will finish my project

have a nice day haters

sorry about flipping out it's hard to maintain composure with all these haters repeatedly posting garbage on this thread. I understand not everyone will like it and I don't mind their comments but when certain individuals keep attacking the thread it can make anyone mad a** hell

Hm Kel, I hope you didn't take my comment as negative for the negative sake, I for one would love to see this finish and on the road. I was simply responding to your comment of "i could of sworn people were crazy about the v8" and my answer is yes, but not anymore due to the reasons above.

And yes I am aware the performance factory one was not ready when it was first shown, not sure of the current progress. But the fact is V8 in a G is no longer what it was when you started this project. And I would love to see it be finished unlike other projects of similar scope.
