Agreed. I'm just hating on the color scheme.

Dat black and blue wow it's pretty.
I wish I had the time and money for TT, lol. Thanks, man. I appreciate that.

Thanks! JP did an amazing job with the lights and calipers. He does great work. I agree. A lot more progress in the past few months than I thought would happen. In the works for a set of wheels right now as well.

Just ordered new wheels! Should get them by the end of next week! I got these sexy Niche Targa M130. I ordered 20x8.5/20x10 +35/+40 with Hankook V12 245/35 and 285/30 tires. Can't wait to get these new wheels on and get the stockers powder coated!

The wheels look great with all of the other mods you have done lately; things are coming along nicely.

I am VERY interested in your opinion on the difference in the ride quality going from the 18" stock wheel/tires to the staggered 20" setup. We have very similar setups to begin (AWD, Eibach, etc.) so this will help me greatly! Please, don't sugar coat it, tell me how it really is! lol Thanks!

Thanks! I love the way they look on the car. Had help from Chris at Need 4 Speed with fitment.

Thanks, man! The ride quality really isn't that different. The car feels a bit slower while accelerating and you can feel the road a bit more. Slightly more road noise, but not noticeable enough to drive you crazy. Honestly, 20's are the way to go. I have had no issues with the 20's so far, but I'll keep you up to date if I change my mind about anything.

Thanks, lol. I guess I'm just a little sour from modding the eclipse still. Plus sizing the wheels to 18" and adding the Eibach springs paired with KYB AGX struts/shocks was not a very comfortable ride. I think the more solid build of the G with better sound deadening helps a lot to minimize the effects of these mods though since the Eibach springs don't bother me at all.

I know what you mean. It seemed like every mod to the eclipse made it more of a piece. The G has held up great with the mods added. I think if you go with 20's, you won't regret it at all.

Nice x. Sideskirts looking good. Have you considered changing the front bumper?

Thanks! I plan to get a new front bumper soon. I'm still not sure if I want to do sport with lip or aero with splitter.

Which sport bumper? 08-10 or 11-14? IPL/AERO is getting pretty common on this forum...

This is a pretty crazy deal on a freshly painted 08-10 sport bumper... great feedback as well...

That's how I feel about the aero. The more I see it, the more I don't like it. I saw a post the other day that made me think it looked like a snow plow, lol. That's actually the exact bumper I wanted, haha. You're the man!

Lol, be careful a lot of people have spent good money on those snow plows. I've pondered the IPL bumper a before, but I came to the conclusion that I prefer the lines of the 08-10 sport and/or 11-14 journey bumper since they flow better with the overall design of the car. I cant say I'm a fan of the new sport bumper at all, though. Keep us updated what route you go. If you decide to use the place I posted I am very interested in your thoughts. Hard to beat a painted bumper to your door for that price especially with the reviews, quality, and ships out painted in 3 days.

It's not that I hate it, it is just starting to not look good to me. It looks over used, lol. The only issue with that bumper you posted is that it doesn't come with the lower grilles. I have no clue where to get those. If you, or anyone, knows where let me know and I'll be getting the bumper asap, lol.
