Honestly...after the splitter, she will be done "again" lol.
And my only reason for changing up on the bumpers is I had the aero bumper for a year, and just feel that it is seriously over played. Every G looks the same out there now because of it. So I went back to the old school 08-10 sport bumper (which sits more even down below with the aero side skirts) and a stillen splitter

And I'll toast to your "done again." Probably went like this at home: "Baby, really...after this splitter I'm REALLY done. I mean it this time!"

Yep, Glenn. Hmm...interesting. Active USAF...Lackland? If so this has to be Michael. Yes?
myk1013: are you on Eibach springs? and what size are your wheels?
Yessir, on Eibachs. I shaved an extra 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch off of the rear upper spring mount (rubber). IMO Eibachs would be the perfect drop on daily drivers IF they trimmed another 1/2" off the rear. So I did the mod that I found over in the G35 forum. Wasn't planning on coilovers then...might change now. Wheels are 19x10 and 19x8.5.

The car is back a JMS right now due to some transmission issues. I guess when you push 500 to all wheels you need to upgrade the transmission. Lesson learned...

Thing is, that pricing doesn't tell the full story of other hidden costs such as tranny and engine prep. Is yours the Turn-Key kit? What's your ballpark estimate on total cost including the kit, engine/tranny work and LABOR? I'm guessing $10-11K?
