The Trifecta
Through the years of car modification trends, it started with performance in the muscle car era, then moved to wild and loud audio systems into the 90's, and eventually the extravagant body kits (often at the expense of taste).
Arguably, today's most formidable challenge is to build a vehicle that has the best of the three, but does not result in an obscene, gaudy, HEAVY, and tasteless mess. Obviously such adjectives are subject to opinion, but as most will agree, there is but one opinion that counts... your own.
All ICE work done by the crew at Audition Audio & Electronics (formerly American Radio)
of 410 Atlanta Hwy, Cumming, GA 30040; Phone: 678-455-3201. Thanks John, Tony, and Scott for all the long hours!
All performance modifications installed and tuned by Sharif and his team at Forged Performance of 498 Cobb Pkwy S, Marietta, GA 30060; Phone: (770) 792-0202.
All body work and paint performed by D&I Auto Body of 1779 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318; Phone: (404) 885-9575.
UPDATE!
The car is still going strong and the motor that Forged Performance built and tuned for me has been flawless after over 19,000 miles now! See this article prepared by the boys at Revvolution with some recent pics: http://www.revvolution.com/blog/2014...o-widebody-g35
Since none of my old picture links work, here's some new ones...

Phase 2 100% complete: Performance
In a nutshell: Greddy 20G TT, fully built motor, Greddy 3" exaust, Tien coilovers, obviously Stoptech rotors front and rear, etc etc. Essentially no stone left unturned. All work done by the crew at Forged Performance, Atlanta, GA.
Forged Performance, tuned by Sharif:
Two boost settings, one for 'conservative' daily driving, the other for a little more... shall we say, spirited driving:
Phase 3 100% Complete: Aesthetics
In a nutshell: widebody, DPE 20" wheels (9.5f x 12r, 275/30 x 325/25 Continental Extreme DW), a few other accents here and there. All body work done by the good folks at D&I Body Shop, Atlanta, GA.
I'm sure you can figure out which one I am:
