Car looks great. I love subtle bit of chrome on the lower front.

Just ask Newt to rename and move this thread.

This project looks very well executed. All these visual modifications, it could have gone south bad, but it didn't. It's beautiful. Well done, Kenny.

And happy birthday.

Thanks Roch!

I'm going to try to make a build thread from the very beginning till now hopefully today. I'll try to squeeze one out during my break at work.

I really do appreciate all the kind words everyone it was a long hard journey to get where I am with her today but we'll worth it. And the fact you guys all like it as well means a lot to me.

I dig the 2-piece construction of the R26... quality design. But what was the thinking about open-ended lugnuts? I'm curious to see your pics of them mounted on your Vossens.

You know,I almost bought those CV3's. They were always at the top of my list way back when. In the end, I decided a strong 5-spoke design was too aggressive looking for my car, but that look fits your modded Coupe perfectly.

Ah my good friend Venom I was waiting for you to chime in lol. Go back to the g35 forums you're not welcome here anymore. Just messin man and a build thread is for anything you do to your car to make it different from stock bud. I believe I'm in that category.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that your Vossen wheels and such don't qualify for a build thread in VGT's mind.

I was a bit hesitant at first about open ended lugs until I finally saw them installed and have absolutely no regrets. The quality truly is top notch and they bring a little flare to the wheels as well.

You can't really see the ones in the front bc they are so flushed inside but the rear ones stick out just the right amount and look great.

I just snapped a couple of pictures on my phone for you while at work to give you a better perspective of them.

IDK about the lug nuts, Kenny. Whatever you're liking, I'm not getting it through the pictures. However the overall package of wheels, rotors, calipers, and lug nuts... that's nice, man. Very well put together. There's no way you can't look at that setup with approval.

Is that center cap seated right?

It looks like Stoptech finally fixed the issue where they were drilling anf slotting the rotors funky. It was a dealbreaker for me actually.

Note how the drills/slots are uneven and run into the rust ring...
