And just like the R35, it's missing a 3rd pedal.
I keeeeed I keeeeed.
It's amazing how great photography can make even the least tasteful cars look somewhat appealing. I'm sorry but while the quality of the work can't be denied (whoever threw this car together did an amazing job and the craftsmanship appears to be top notch), this car has a major identity crisis. Kudos on the build but it's just not my cup o tea. To each their own.
+1 on the photoshoot and the black interior trim over the tacky looking red plastic that was there before.

2) Slotted rotors for those nice big calipers.
I don't know if you saw his other thread but the breaks are from a G37, so I'm not sure slotted rotors are available yet for them. The entire brake system is brand new so I wouldn't change a thing.Originally Posted by fhumphrey04

I agree but you need to consider the price of it. Doing FI right might cost equal to everything he has in the car right now. You also need to consider the goals the OP had in this build. I think the goal was for a show car, so body mods and the interior definitely needed to be done first. I am not a fan of riced out cars that really aren't any more powerful than the stock ones but the OP did a great job.Originally Posted by fhumphrey04
3) Forced induction (not so much a small thing haha)

It has a third pedal. It's called the e-brake pal!!! lol jk.Originally Posted by bruddahmanmatt
And just like the R35, it's missing a 3rd pedal. OP, my only suggestion is really minor. I say you get rid of the extender for your shifter **** (the little clear piece inside the lever) to make it sit further down, and throw on a shift boot. You can probably get a custom black leather one with red stitching made for you pretty inexpensively (www.redlinegoods.com)
Car is way too busy for my tastes. But atleast its different.
Excellent pictures.

The foose wheels were bought by my then GF at the time who became my wife. She did it on her own and out of her heart...I think she is awesome so I have always had taste just had to work around her. The AXIS wheels will be up for sale soon also. I'm not asking anyone to hate or like my rice. It's mine..Thanks though for any comments. Originally Posted by ZXERT

No worries man...Just defending her choice of wheels. The funny thing is I painted them black and put them on her FX.Originally Posted by ZXERT
I didn't mean to pluck a heart string there. I was just saying that there is no way I would say they were the same car if they were side by side.

Definitely not my cup of tea, looks too rice for a G, and what's with the lack of the third pedal? =P
Skaterbasis said it the best...

Edit: Dang, no FI? Atleast get the power to back up the looks!
