Definitely the steering wheel, airbag cover and trim. I'm going to give it a go at wrapping my interior also.

Deciding on what's more important...Impul AT pedals or Impul horns. Thinking the pedals though.

Oh and now I want a TK hebi bebi shift ****. Lol

Nothing spectacular to report. Next weekend, I'm swapping out the steering wheel, trim and airbag cover.

I got this pretty dial cover in and I'm in love with it. Will take better pics next weekend.

After that, I'll have a go at wrapping the interior trim pieces in brushed black aluminum vinyl

Today's accomplishment

New, rewrapped steering wheel.
New steering wheel trim and rear cover

The TK airbag cover was supposed to be apart of this equation, but I couldn't get the airbag out of the Infiniti cover. Eh....maybe next weekend I'll have another go at it

Thanks Bryan!!!! Few more things in the works, but I'm actually going to sell of a couple of pieces that I know I'm never going to install.

Going to get back into my music so I need the funds for my guitars and other equipment

Going to get back in the swing of things once the weather changes. I have a dent to pull which I'm not happy about and I have to wrap all of my interior trim pieces bc the one on my door broke.

Oh yeah...I have to fix my garage door/opener, plan for a wedding and work on some new material for an independent movie score. All this while working about 55 hours a week and commuting a total of about 3 hours a day (round trip).

There's not enough hours in the day for me. Lol

Okay...to light some fire under my butt, I just bought a heat gun, vinyl wrap and some other crap to get the job done. Went with brushed black

I don't think the trim on my door "pops" off and I AM NOT removing the entire door skin. I have a very steady hand, so my goal is to wrap the door trim without removing anything. I already know how to remove the trim around the shifter, so that won't be an issue. I'm sure removing the trim around the radio isn't difficult.

Unlike all you G owners, I don't have trim pieces extending around the dash, so I don't have to worry about those. I heard those are the hardest to remove.

No

Life happened and I can't seem to find the time. I may have to force myself to take some days off...just to have some me time.

Okay.....so I'm at a crossroad. Initially, I wanted this car to be a nicely modified, JDM packed, mountain carving, daily driver. However, it's not and never will be. Lol

Although some parts can be taken from a g37 platform, it is not nearly enough to get what I'm after.

That being said...the car is going to be returned to stock and given to my mom.

My next car is going to be a true hatch with a nice starting horsepower and torque of 350!!!

After things settle down with my house and my health, I'll probably grab a g37x sedan to use for the majority of my daily commuting.

This sucks because none of the parts will work with the new car. So all of the Top Secret, TommyKaira, Impul, Stillen, etc. parts will be going up for sale soon.

I will be wrapping the new car's interior, but if anyone wants a small amount of brushed black vinyl wrap, I'll be posting that up too bc I'm not wrapping it right away.

It's going to be a little bit before I give my mom the car....have to fix a few things first, but it's definitely going. I'm pretty bored with this platform....it's not even fun driving to and from work anymore.

Damn Gayle, bit of a buzzkill but you've got to do what your heart wants, and if your heart's not w/ the G then it is what it is

Might look into a Porsche Cayman, that might check off those boxes.
