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
Which is the reason I initially went with the carbon lip on the sport bumper. I didn't see others locally configured like that. BUT...when the bumper got hit and destroyed I had the choice of dropping another $1,200 to get that same configuration (prep, paint, mold, etc) on that same configuration OR just call Sergio at OC Infiniti and get a factory-painted aero bumper for $700 shipped! The math was compelling, especially since I already had cash in hand from the insurance company. Now, before anyone quotes me that OC has aero bumpers for $700 shipped, Sergio has a limited supply in certain colors at this price point.

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.

Helps if you check someone's garage out. Pretty sure that car is the toddler Godzilla before it became the GTM Godzilla Jr. When do you get it back?

Yup, it's me and Godzilla Jr. Haha.

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...

Glad you mentioned that. I've been eyeballing the GTM TT kit group buy going hmmm....just a few slots left...

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?
