Great job man!

Let me also ask, what is involved with removing the fog light inserts from the bumper cover? By inserts, I mean the fake mesh panels that surround the fog light
Thanks, STownS. I was actually "forced" into deleting the OEM fogs due to my dual aftermarket oil coolers that sit behind each of those openings from my GTM Supercharger. The OEM DRL's just barely fit next to the oil coolers... it was a tight fit, but I think it turned out well. Here are a couple of closer up pics. The OEM mesh inserts are easy to remove... they simply snap into place with 5 or 6 clips (see below pic for locations) and you just need to remove the fog light bezel first and then you can gently work your way around the trim pieces and pop them out. Below is a page out of the OEM DRL instructions that I marked up showing where these clips are located and also how these panels were trimmed to remove the fog light portion and then added the new custom black diamond mesh inserts panels. Feel free to PM me if you need any more specific details.

There's actually a decent build thread over on G35driver with lots of pics, but here you go. All of these are pics of my actual car except for the last one (which shows the engine and tranny oil coolers installed, which I had added later). And that is my actual dyno chart with before and after numbers after hours and hours of tuning. Sam at GTM used my car for the test bed for this kit so he spent many hours getting the tune right on it. It's too bad that GTM is now kaput, but I'm sure you can still probably find a kit on the shelf at one of their tuner shops somewhere.

Awesome Pic, Tony. How was the show?


Got any other pics of your Bride seats installed? Every time I get in my Porsche and sit in the Recaro seats I wish I had more comfortable seats in my G. I really want the Sabelt SPS Racing Seats with carbon fiber backs for my G, but don't know if I can give up my power driver's seat with memory.

Great pic, man! Congrats on finding a 6MT, especially one with such low miles. What part of the country are you from?

Wider setup

Hey guys. I need some suggestion. I'm wanting to go wider in the back. What size spacer should I get? Rears are 19x10.5 +22 offset with 245/35 tires on. Help would be appreciated!

If you notice the plate frame, he'll need more rubber for all those ******.
