We are going to have meet on 12nd this month it's bi monthly meet and it's getting bigger and better every time. Last time we had about 45 G/Q showed up I'll upload pics tonight to tease you lol

I'm so ready to see the car after all the new mods are on there! The body shop has my build scheduled for the 7th. They told me it would take them around 3 days to get everything finished up so I'll have the completed car on the 10th. Hopefully I'll be able to exchange side skirts with Daman531 for his IPL side skirts and FG splitters before the 10th. That way I can have the shop install those as well and dayum if the build won't be at least 80-85% completed!!

With regards to the FiberGlass side splitters....obviously I'll need to either sell them or have them wrapped in CF to match the front splitter and the mirror covers. I got an insane quote from a CF guy on IG he wants $275 to wrap them in CF. They only cost $350 new from outcast so I'm hoping I can either DIY it or find a much lower quote. Anybody have any suggestions to help me solve this problem??

Maybe find a shop that does hydrographics/hydrodipping and have them dipped in CF, shouldn't be too much.

That sounds like a ball. I won't be able to make it on the 12th but maybe in August or sometime around then? I don't wanna be there in the peak of the hot a$$ weather.

As for the pics of the meet tease away man.

Thanks Brad. Your always full of the best ideas.

Would the hyrodip or hydrographic methods look more like the front splitter pics I posted above? I was worried that the CF wrap wouldn't have that mirror like reflection and shine.

if it's done well (with a nice thick clear coat applied) it should have nice gloss.
I had it done to mine but it was a poor job and didn't hold up well. I think a better, more experienced installer would work out OK.

Are you going to bring your lady and your son? I think STREETTEC is gonna bring his woman. So if you wanna bring yours then I'll bring my girl along too. Hopefully they will have as much fun as we are going to have lol.

I got the tracking info on my new wheels n tires yesterday. My appointment for all the repairs is on the 7th. So I would imagine anytime after the 10th of this month we can start planning a meeting buddy!! I'm excited.

Have fun in Miami you lucky dog!!

Anyone else that is located close enough to Memphis, TN is more than welcome to attend this small gathering with us. The more the merrier!
I'll see if my son is off but he works nights. Beyond that, I'm single which is why I get to mod the way I do. Think I'm going to swap the seats out tomorrow; if the weather holds I'll data log too finally.

I'm hoping it's a decent week, I was supposed to be off but have to get down there and meet with a client. Works out okay I suppose, hoping to grab some quick ink while I'm there.

I wanted to give you guys a little heads up about what's going down with my car the next few days and what my future mod plans are. Here goes:

7th-10th - Body shop will be repairing the damage from the accident. They will also be installing my OEM spoiler, IPL front bumper, CF splitter from R1, IPL black bezel headlights, painting grill in midnight fashion, checking my new Work VSXX to make sure they are as advertised (mint), installing said wheels n tires plus the project kics spacers I picked up from Ryne (thx man), changing out the VS center caps for the Work silver W caps, and boxing up my Vossen CV4's to either be mailed to House of Wheels for repair or sold on the PC's. The reveal will be on the 10th I'm told. Obviously I'm pumped about the whole process from accident to reveal.

Once the car comes out on the 10th I'll post up some transformation pics. May have to do a detail job the following day so she will look how a G should.

Future mods:
Ecuteck tune
Sway bars
Swift springs (the Spec-R's don't have an app for our G's
Front strut bar
Engine bay painted gloss black with possible annodized red accents
Diode Dynamics total light mod kit
Carsmo *****
Vinyl wrap gloss black in the bottom middle of IPL bumper
Vinyl wrap gloss white or White CF on the bottom lip of the CF front splitter
DONE!!!!!!! SON!!!

If anyone is interested in some CV4's at $1100 plus shipping let me know.
I'll also have a set of headlights FS.

Anyone that has any feedback on the upcoming job or order of the mods I should buy pls post up. It would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: I just made a deal for some IPL side skirts and R1 CF side splitters. Looks like the reveal could turn out a bit more impressive than I thought. I'm not 100% that I'll be able to pick them up in Memphis before the 10th. But lord knows I'm gonna try lol

I won't stop cause i cant stop. Uh uh. Yeah. Lol sorry I'm just excited that the exterior is all done.

If you can pick them up next weekend I'll be around. I can also reach to my mechanic and see if we can use one of his lifts. I don't know if he'll charge us but he on,y charges me $50 an hour so I can't imagine it would be much if he did.

I need to talk to him about the suspension changes I'm making anyway, let me know.

Yeah I agree. White cars with black and CF accents look amazing. All my vehicles have been white, black, or Silver (G35).

So... a front-splitter under a new IPL front bumper, and matching side splitter-like trim pieces underneath IPL skirts, on a Vert that will be lowered soon. Is that right? Should look pretty good, or very possibly amazing. I'm assuming you have few ride-height compromises where you live and drive, then?
