MagicMarker, nice job in keeping your G in such immaculate shape, and even though it's stock you're taking pride in it & it shows
I love Nevr-Dull, the packed wading they use is somewhat abrasive so it does a nice job removing particles that are clinging to the steel. The single can should last you years if you don't let it dry out and does a great job reviving tired finishes.

 

Not that you were asking me, but Hotchkis Sways all the way. My car was a very early test mule for the Hotchkis sway bars on the G sedans and I've had them on the car for many, many years and have been very, very happy with them. I did a review of them years ago on the G35Driver forum, but I believe the jist of the review was that they were the best bang for the buck mod I had done to the car. One comment I will make is that you do have to keep the polyurethane bushings well lubed otherwise they do get squeeky... Just something to keep in mind.

 

I use Nevr-Dull only a few times a year because as you said it is abrasive. I only use it once I feel stuff clinging to the metal or see soot buildup. During car washes I use soapy water and some kind of metal polish after

 

 

Took a few iPhone pics the other day with the CV1s mounted.. Absolutely love the way that car looks right now. Running 20x9 +18 245/30/20 F 20x10.5 +42 285/25/20 in back

 

That's an aggressive fit in front but looks like a nice job
I think I'd start rattling my fillings w/ those extra low profile sidewalls though.
Red Sedans always look hot!

 

Nice wheels. Beautiful car. Too low for me to look right, but not my car.

Is that a HBIN roof wing?

Do you have a build thread, or a thread where you discuss that rear bumper wrap/paint with details and pics?

 

How's the ride with 25 profile tires?

 

ya, i put 20mm spacers up front to get to +18 and i think still have some space to work with. I have a set of 25mm that i used with my duckfeet that i may experiment with to get the front that much more flush. if that works, im thinking i can get a 3-5mm spacer in the rear to bring the rears to +39, 37ish.

But switching from my stocks to these super low-pros...UHGG! Im getting used to it now tho, and the pay of to see everyone break necks is worth it HA

 

Sure is a HBIN roof wing. I love the low profile on it. I got it during that group buy which i couldnt pass up.

As for the rear bumper diffuser, i dont have a thread on the DIY unfortunately. It was actually a last minute thing i ended up doing on a Sunday late in the afternoon so i was running out of daylight so i had to go fast. In a nutshell, it just took masking tape, 2 cans of plasti-dip and a razorblade. I as you begin to pull the tape off, the rubbery characteristics of the plasti-dip will begin to pull. Scoring the plasti-dip along your tape line with the razor blade will prevent that.

 

The ride is definitely more stiff, than the 18" duckfeet that i just took off but its definitely not as bad as i thought it was going to be. I live on the RI/MA border so the roads are garbage but the ride is definitely not terrible by any means. A couple days in with the wheels on and im pretty adjusted to the ride.

 

I think if you went from all stock to lowering springs/coilovers, then to the low profiles it would be a more natural progression. If you added the lowering springs and the lo-pros at the same time you might think the car is the devil

 

Its funny you say that, because I added a 20mm spacer to my 19x8 +35, and it looks a lot better now. It doesn't rub more than once during driving, but if I want to go any lower I'd have to roll the front fenders.

 

Had my KW V3's put on today. Have em set right in the middle of hard and soft at the moment.

Thoughts on the drop? Tad bit lower in the back im thinking...

 

Looks pretty good to me. I have a finger gap front and back on mine (which looks like what you have as well, but can't really tell for the front) and I'm really happy with it. I think it looks great and its not too low for daily driving.
