First let me say that I was in a MAJOR hurry when I took these initial photos. But regardless I did my best and here they are. Enjoy.






That's Brian the head of Stadium Auto Body in the background of the last pic. Great guy. Great shop.
I'll post better pics of the IPL side skirts and CF splitters along with the new killer wheels when I get back from vacation on Monday! Hope everyone likes the new G one the block.

 

Wow. That's beautiful. What a transformation.

I suspect after you swap the Vossens out for the new rims, it's going to be less than two weeks later before you drop the car one way or another.

 

That in my opinion is how shops should look. Glad you found a good one Red.

 

That look from the back is balla!
View from the front isn't bad either, too bad about the splitter, but you've conquered much bigger hurdles Reddi. And ditto what Todd said, looks like an immaculate shop.

 

I think that would be a great over/under bet John I suspect the wheel gap will be much more noticeable to me at least once the new wheels n tires go on. I hope I'll be able to enjoy the new mods and the overall look of it for a bit. But swift springs are just so affordable.....and that airrex kit is oh so appealing to the eye. Tough choice, but an easy decision to go with one or the other.

 

Go with the swift unless you have money to burn.

 

She really looks good Reddi. I especially like the front. The chrome ring around the fog lights, the chrome around the grill, the Mt. Fuji logo, and yer headlights. It all comes together real well. Nice look...

 

Agreed.

I've had Swifts for over a year now, and only recently tweaked the rear right height with poly spacers... which is something you can assess months down the road. There's no rush, and it might not even be an issue for you.

Also in the context of solving problems you don't have yet... if camber is whacked by lowering, you can address that at a later date with camber arms front or rear or both. Sometimes it's a problem, sometimes it isn't.

Personally, I need to listen more often to future me, because old me is an idiot.


Huh?

 

Yes, Yes, YES. Build is really coming together, the IPL + lips all around really set things off, and it's crazy how a simple debadge somehow adds so much edge and aggression to the rear.

Have you considered tinting/overlaying your tails? Not blackout, but just a few shades darker to bring some of the 2-tone look to the rear.

Double-checking to make sure i'm subscribed for the inevitable "decided to drop it" pics

 

As for the lug nut issue. When I had the godsnow lugs installed by the shop that just does my oil changes I made a terrible mistake. Although I told the desk attendant that the aftermarket lugs were to be hand tightened only, of course they went after then with their power tools. So they damaged both of my lug keys (that they told me about) but apparently they also stripped out the insides of the lugs as well. Hence the lug nuts issue.

 

I have considered painting the tails GTR style. I thought I would be ultra pleased with the black bezel headlights with the housing being black already. But it seems that they need a bit of the chrome on the inside gloss black as well. I haven't decided if I'm going to DIY them yet or not. But I'm going to get it done one way or the other.
Mi have the extra set of headlights that I plan to "practice" on. So we will see how that project turns out then I'll jump on the actual ones I'm gonna use and have the confidence to do the tails while I'm at it.

 

These came in the mail yesterday evening. Dropped them off and I'm getting the car for a few days. Gotta take it back once my new outcast garage splitter comes in the mail. If anyone is interested in a front CF splitter that they want to paint match to their ride pm me. It has 11 tiny almost unseeable holes drilled too far forward. So it'll be cheap cheap.

 

So....I'm not sure what's going on but apparently I'm going to have to find a new way to post pics? Hopefully not since I started an IG acct purely to accommodate the G37 site with regards to pictures.

 

Try photobucket.com it's pretty simple what what I use.

 

Same here, Photobucket works great and is easy to use.
