Thanks for all the nice words, guys. As most of you know, I've had this car for quite a long time now and have even considered selling it several times over the past several years, but it's hard to let her go. Especially since I've put literally 100's of hours of work into the car over the past 9 or 10 years... so it's always nice when all your hard work is appreciated.

I know... right, Andy?!? I hate that the new trend is to just bolt on fenders and call it a day. But I would never go there. No reason to ruin the beautiful factory lines with obnoxious bolt on fenders. My only real reason for widening the fenders was so I could fit even wider tires without having to run excessive negative camber, so I wanted to keep the look as OEM as possible. Subtle mods are the best kind in my book!

Really big thanks, DFS. With all of the beautiful cars on here (yours included) that really means a lot to me! I still wish my car was the same color as yours and a 6MT too.

That detail right there should be enough to earn him some kind of trophy.

Thanks, John. Leave it to you to notice all of the obscure details... You and I are a lot alike in that respect.


You are correct, that is a real crossed drilled rotor off another car of mine (think it came off my old E36 M3). It was an old rotor that I had bead blasted and powder-coated to use as the base for my show stand. It's nice and heavy so it works perfectly.

Yeah, I had them widened by almost 1-1/2" to accommodate 305 rear tires... and maybe 325's in the future. The rear bumper also had to be modified to match the widened fenders and the guy that did it actually combined the sedan bumper with a G37 coupe bumper and plastic welded it altogether. The guys that did the plastic bumper and the metal fender work are just crazy talented and I would consider them artists in the automotive world...

Thanks, man, very much appreciated! It's actually a CF Access Evolution rear diffuser. It's one piece so the spats are part of the diffuser.


I've had 4 or 5 different exhaust set-ups on the car, but in the end I simply got tired of any sort of drone on the freeway. So I ended up with a Tanabe axle back modified with quad tips along with a Tanabe Y-pipe, the OEM resonated mid-pipe, and OEM cats. Interestingly I actually gained a few HP when I removed my previous cat-back exhaust and HFC's.

The Lambo Blue G35 Coupe is actually my R-Rydes teammate Randy Rigg's car. He's the guy that actually started the R-Rydes club. Although it is not my "style" everything about that car is exceptional. Its at SEMA every year and has been featured in almost every tuner magazine out there. He takes home Best in Show at almost every show we do, including this Tuner Evolution show. Unfortunately I have to compete with him, so it he doesn't get Best in Show then he will almost assuredly get Best Infiniti, which means I'm automatically bumper down at least one place. LOL

I also had the left rear wheel on my car pulled off in those pics and many other cars had wheels pulled off. If you have major brake, suspension, and/or undercarriage work that you want to show off then taking the wheels off is the best way to do that. The other side of Randy's blue G35 Coupe actually has the wheels on it that way people can take pics of whichever side they want.

Nice! Always love a good snow pic... The tire tracks almost make it look like you slid it in there sideways.

Are you tired yet of hearing me say how amazing your Sedan is? Because it's amazing.

You've got some tasteful custom work, it's boosted, pretty inside and out, with what amounts to basic, quality bolt-ons. All on an occasional DD still... right? To top it off, you seem genuinely nice, so I can't hate on you just for being jealous.

Meh. /rant & respect
