My G35 on a college student budget....

I have so many things to spend money on, that I can't make modding my G35 a top priority, but I do try and save some money from every check just to keep my car fresh. Just did a quick detail, so thought I'd finally post some pictures. So here is my fairly stock G35.


15% tint
19" Tenzo R type M rims in bronze
Bats headlight overlays
Clear sides
Blacked out grill.
Debadged rear

Also have my springs + Klumzyees replica grill that are both waiting for install.

Nothing too special, but I'm happy with the mods so far. Car looks good to me, and I haven't really spent TOO much money on it..... yet. I'll have more / better pictures within the next month or so.












Another update:
Still haven't put the springs on, but I have the new grille on. The mesh doesn't look too good, so tomorrow I'll go to Home Depot and see if I can pick up some mesh thats more firm and not wavy.

I'm a college student...but sadly, I have nothing to show financially other than my G since I've wasted too much money on it.

Clean ride

I really like the look of the wheels on your G. Maybe I am getting tired of seeing the same "ol look" with fat lips and all. Nice job!

Car looks good man. Like the other guy said, add some factory splash guards and get those springs install and you'll be set. Add a front lip other something and you'll real good.

Good work so far...glad to see (for once) that working within a budget hasn't let to bad modding decisions!

Thanks for the good words so far guys, and especially for those that convinced me to get the Bronze instead of the Time Attack color. Still haven't decided if I want to get a front lip, or just swap front bumpers. As for the sides, I really like the Impul side skirts, but holding off on those until I have my front/rear done. As soon as I have time off work, I'll do the mods and post up another picture or 2.


BTW, what site sells the splash guards for the best price? (preferably already painted) Or would it be smart to just purchase from the local dealer?
