Vader's Rise (Shank's build Thread)
Hey gang, With the vast mojority of mods completed on my coupe, I figured it was time to look back on how we got here
Thanks all for the advice and assistance along the way! The car would not have turned out anywhere near the final product with this forum 
Day 1 Wifey approved:

First road trip 1 week after purchase:

First Mods...

I love goooooooold...not really, but the amp IS

Then I found the forum. (Thanks Rhino_111)


We liked it so much, the wifey jumped into the scene (sorta)

What every garage should look like...

Then one fine day someone decided for me, that it'd be good if my car didn't have OEM wheels ...soooooo my solution was...

There is how it sat for almost 2 years, then fate brought me back to Seattle...and parts were a plenty for a thrifty guy like me
Started with a drop (finally)


Then the Nismo train pulled into the station:

Then Pharm_D came through with some skirts!

Tried out the Osiris tune to see what a stock-ish G could do:

Fun roller...sportin da_stig headlight work

Then made a friend who does vinyl and tint work...and has a sense of humor...

Lovely Seattle in Spring...sigh

Can't appreciate the good days without some bad...#@$@#$

Then with the help of Dustin@Strafe (Forever grateful for the magic you pulled to make this happen!)
Vader rides again...



And along the way, picked a theme for the engine bay...



Thanks to so many folks, it's been a great journey. Can't wait to see what's next

As one of the sickest G's on the boards, that means a lot
yours was the first Nismo I saw after joining and honestly it's stuck with me the whole way 
Thanks, I was tired of the grill being empty but I liked the "what kind of car is that" I get from time to time.
It'll be avail soon! hehe new plates for me
Danke mang, yes...your wheels...lol Honestly I am considering moving to a sedan next year, family may be growing again
Danke
It's the cleanest front IMO nothing too crazy just understated and sessy.
Already got it mang, Magnaflow axle back with G37 sedan tips, just a touch more growl than stock...exactly what I was looking for
Some of it, the Ztube/engine cover/hood struts/intake heat shield/and oil,radiator caps/air diversion plate/strut bar are all laid CF, the batt covers etc are Di-noc.
Trade me! lol ..i know i know...with cash on your end
You and Chris and Ernie are really making me consider the move to a sedan!
Thanks old man! When you comin down to see us mere mortals?
If yer buyin, I'm flyin!
Great work on the Bimmer btw, few more accents and the mirrors will fit right in
