Dont know if this was a good idea!

I bought this car about 2 years ago. g35 05 with 20,500 miles for $9000 with a salvaged title. Runs great and no suspension problems.Knew i had to save up to buy all the parts. My nephew has a shop and said he would do the work for $3000, which i think is a steal. So i finally got all the parts and saved up the money for the labor. Any color ideas. What do yall think.

List of parts that are going to be replaced:
Driver side door skin
quarter panel
carbon fiber ts style hood
carbon fiber fenders
Klumzye's kenstyle rear bumper
Klumzye's kenstyle side skirts
Klumzye's greddy front bumper
AeroCatch locking kit
sp grill
06 headlights
side markers
radiator
condenser
windshield reservoir
fujita intake
udp pulleys with belts
airbag sensors
airbag

When i first bought the car


First thing we started working on was the quarter panel



Left over from quarter panel

Replacing door skin

Driver front rail

Passenger rail


Cracked rim

if you're starting from scratch, go with a different color from stock for sure. a nice green or dark red would be sweet. my fav is blue for sure but even a different gunmetal or something.

Great project. That's a lot of work there. I can't wait to see the progression. That vid was extra sick. I wish I had done that with the Z I used to have. Course, it didn't go as smoothe as that...but it was a lot of fun.
