Got the modding bug again

After losing my 08 G35S in an accident almost 1.5 year ago. I finally started modding my 09 G37. I started by adding Takeda SRI, Grounding Kit, Z! Performance Hoses, TiTek Oil and Radiator Caps, upgraded fastners, installed a GT-R Push Start Button, Blacked out the emblems and grill, and added a GT Spec Strut Bar. So much to do still but one item at a time...

Just bought - 01/2011

Takeda SRI

Hoses Added and Grounding Kit

Blacked out Grill

Blacked Emblems

GT-R Push Start button

Very nice start. For being in FL, I'm surprise our G isn't already slammed.

Nice and good to see more local G. Do you feel any difference after installed grounding kit?

I noticed the shifting is much smoother, acceleration response is quicker, not much of lapse.... Worth the time I spent making the kit and installing it.

I have a question for you, I noticed you are on here a lot and maybe you can help me. After I installed the intakes I have notice a high frequency pitch coming from the engine. I' pin pointed it to the driver side intake. Any ideas what it could be? I checked for vacuum leaks and nothing.

Deal fell thru on the Lorenzo's. Let's call it a "miscommunication". So I'm looking for wheels again. I know there's a set out there for me.

Mod update

Just had installed H&R springs and Eibach front camber kit and the car looks awesome. Tomorrow, 20" Sevas S22's go on. can't wait to c the transformation. I'm a little apprehensive on the stretch look. I bought the wheels w/ 225's all around and it's a 10" rear wheel. Anyway tomorrow will tell. I'm also planning to knockout the rest of the chrome trimming with Plasti-dip. Pics are soon to follow. Comments are welcome.

P.S. Props to Speed Shop in Miami. Great work and great customer service.

I didn't like the strech look on the rims and wheels. so i wnet with Nexxen 245/30/20 in front and 275/30/20's in the rear. Now, this is the look I was going for. Tell me what you think.

I think 5mm spacer in rear and 10 mm spacer in front would make them perfect, I like flush look.
