15 Attachment(s)
How you doing guys! I've posted my car here and there throughout the forum but now, I'm just going to make one big thread to track my progress. Quick background here are my previous cars..
93 5speed SC300 http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh...ez1ho1_500.jpg 97 Civic coupe http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...5/IMG_0032.jpg 07 Altima 3.5 6MT Attachment 144267 And now.. When I first got her 3 months ago Attachment 144268 Attachment 144269 First mini mods.. LOL blacked out grill Attachment 144270 LED license plate light Attachment 144271 Gave her a full detail (wash,clay,polish,wax,interior) Attachment 144272 Intalled roof lip courtesy of EnYcee-G! Attachment 144273 Then...SOMEONE HIT ME Attachment 144274 but my buddies at Auto Moto Specialist in the philly area hooked me up. If anyone lives around the tristate area definitely check them out! Installed the OEM sport lip Attachment 144275 Snatched an ARK catback for a great deal Attachment 144276 It sounds insane!! Made me love my car even more. I also installed Jsolo's clutch spring mod, but I don't have any pictures of that lol. It made the car feel like a completely different car. The clutch travel feels so much more linear and a little shorter, but the feel is 100x better! Snapped some pics with my buddy's coupe Attachment 144277 Attachment 144278 Attachment 144279 And picked up a set of OEM G35 Ray's that I am in the process of refinishing. Attachment 144280 They were a little curbed up so I sanded them down and now repainting them dark metallic bronze. As soon as I'm done that I'll post it up Debadged the "INFINITI" emblems and blacked out the Mt. Fuji and G35 badges Attachment 144281 That's all I have for now but I still have a lot more in plan for this! Thanks for reading and stay tuned! Future mods.. - Front&rear sway bars - Drop in & post MAF tubes - Coilovers - Winter wheels/tires for the upcoming snow season - Resonated HFC - Front strut bar - And maybe more.. who knows :D |
Looking good! Had those same split spoke 18s on my 07 G35 and think they're one of the best looking OEM sedan wheels, the G35 Rays are a nice find too, are you going to try a new color or just a refinish? Bronze looks pretty sweet on black IMO.
Bummer about the hit but chit happens :( Mine got t-boned pretty good last year. Here's a couple DIYs that may be of interest, and I still supply taillight templates, just shoot me a PM if you're interested. Looks like a nice list of future mods too :biggthumpup: https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...-g-sedans.html https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...ils-sedan.html |
subbed to see those 18" OEM wheels on.
I have resonated HFC paired with the ARK and its great. you will love it, although I suspect you will barely notice a sound difference. why not just completely de-badge the rear? its hardly visible anyway lol |
Looks like some good progress so far!

Thanks guys! :D
Just finished painting the other day. It came out quite nice apart from some imperfections lol Attachment 144177 Attachment 144178 It's like a dark bronze with metallic flake. I didn't think it'd turn out like this honestly, I just grabbed the spray can with the coolest looking cap LOL |
Cool color! What brand of paint did you use? If you don't mind me asking.

Nice color choice on the Rays. Did you clear coat them? If not I'd shoot a good 3-4 coats over the bronze to protect them a bit better.
Looks like a nice job though :biggthumpup: |

Who would have thought that spray paint cans could look this good! :biggthumpup: |

Mounted
Attachment 144139 Attachment 144140 I need a drop asap now. I was thinking about 1" should be good With the offset of the OEM rays the wheels sit pretty flush |

Installed the Cobb post MAF tubes and drop in filters! Impressions: -Slightly louder (my catback drowns out any intake noise anyways) -Improved throttle response (most likely all in my head) -Butt dyno says it moves slightly faster (once again most likely all in my head) |
Looks good^^
IMO your chrome trim should be black, here's a simple DIY to remedy that :) https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...-g-sedans.html |

Redid my grill today because the first time I tried blacking it out, I used this Duplicolor shadow trim paint and it did not turn out as nice as I wanted it to. So I picked up some gloss black rustoleum and here are the results...
