Took some pics in Hawaii of my 2003 DG coupe. Enjoy!! (56k wont last)
I decided to take some pics today at the spot where i take pics of all my cars. Just bought a 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe a month ago and ive already got the mod bug.
Some stuff ive got done or in the process of doing include:
Clear cornering lights
19inch OEM wheels from a 2006 sport model
Muteki neon chrome titanium lug nuts
Tein S-techs
Federal SS595 summer tires
Seibon Top Secret CF hood
Vis CF oem spoiler (not installed yet)
Carbing craft CF mirror covers (not installed yet)
Stillen true dual catback exhaust
Installed a new optima red top
GTR style headlight overlays (enroute, not installed yet)
GTR style taillight overlays (enroute, not installed yet)
Gialla front grill (enroute, not installed yet)
I plan on getting my roof done in carbon fiber or black as well.

Do you have any good suggestions for me? anything where i can just change the front and keep stock sides and rear possibly? Im really not that big on kits for my daily driver. They are a lot of money and headaches IMO.

C'mon guys, he has only had the car a month...
I don't mind the hood, but I do agree that its a bit much on its own. I would paint it to help it blend with the rest of the car. That way it will be a bit aggressive with the slits but it will look more factory. Either that or do a roof overlay and paint the grille... Would help it out significantly! Also loving the stock wheels, to give them a better look I would add some spacers to push them out and flush them up with the body a bit. Thats what I plan on doing with my stock 19s...
Great spot for taking pictures! I would get there about an hour before to get the sunset and you will have more light to play with so you don't get the shaky shots. Either that or up the ISO on your camera or bring a tripod... Killer views!

should i get splash guards at the dealership? I can imagine them being a lot of money to ship if i were to get them from jason@riverside. Also how easy is the install on those?
