I should of started this a looooooooooong time ago, but I guerss better late than never can be said here. After about a 6 month search for a 6mt Sedan I gave up and purchased a 2010 37S sedan close to 2 years ago now. But meet Ciara!
Heres one of the only pics I could find from when I first brought her home.
My first mod I went with was Stillen gen 3 CAI, which was a good chance to learn my new car up front as I took off the front bumper for the install. I apologize for the crappy pics, as back then I was still rockin an iphone 4, yes I said a 4! Almost forgot that I also gdid the muffler delete and welded the OEM tips on until I had made up my mind with what exhuast I wanted to go with. I will say that I LOVED the sound!
A few months after the intakes were installed I happen to run across a used Stillen cat back exhuast over in Orlando for a really good price as well as a set of brand new Eibach springs. After much research I decided to go with the Motordyne ART pipes as my combo. Well IMMEDIETLY after the ART pipes were installed I took them off as it was incredible with the amount of rasp!

My next few mods were on the cheaper side...I went ahead and painted my engine cover, bought a Cusco FTSB, I installed 6k 80w Cree LED fogs that state they project an actual Lumen of 800 which seems about right as they are bright as hell during the day. I also went ahead and wired and installed a set of switchback LED turn signals which also offer a Lumen of 650 for White and 350 for Amber. I was looking for LED's that you can actually see during the day and I am very very pleased with the outcome. Some crappy pics below to attempt to show....Also bought some red dress up bolts/washers, VMS racing oil cap and radiator cap

Next up was to change out all interior lighting with 6k LED's as well as the trunk light and license plate. I also went ahead and ordered a set of the clear GTR dome map lenses as well.
My next mod was the rear turn signal mod which allows the 2 rings to blink instead of the small interior circle. I feel it should of been this way from factory, but glad I found this mod. All details, pictures, vids, as well as where to purchase the mod can be found here.

Next mod I tackled was the GTR tails, I went ahead and followed Blewts & wakboards threads for completing them. Big shout otu to Brad (Blewt) for the templates. This was actually a fun project in a sense its multiple steps. I am very pleased with the outcome, only thing I'm going to do is go over them again with a stronger compund/polish to really pull out the shine in them.

Next up was my modified GTR start button...Here is the pics and I really feel the button compliments all other interior lighting now at night.
Lock - Red (hard to catch the true color on my phone, but it is a nice dark red)
ACC - Orange
On - Green
Start/Stop - Blue
Engine - White

Last few random pics of lately, havent had a chance to get Ciara cleaned up for a real photo shoot just yet, but heres a couple pics from work and the race track this past weekend.
Justin,
Great job putting this thread together, your G is coming together so well. It's fun seeing how it's transformed from start to current. Those Velgens were a great choice and your entire G looks classy & aggressive at the same time. Your engine bay really came out well too. Keep up the good work and look forward to what else is up your sleeve
BTW don't you love how planted the G is with the 295s out back
