They're definitely fun but I'm kind of up in the air about it all right now. I've gotten burned out on work this year and need a vacation stat. Too much other stuff going on at the moment to think too hard on it. But I agree, I'm happy to have the car I have now and enjoy it.

Mike, those wheels look great on your car by the way!

Life gets in the way, no doubt.

I've been working 100% from home for about two years now, and while I love the arrangement, I've slowly come to realize that I don't actually need a car. Certainly not one that comes with a monthly bank payment. (Two plus more years to go on that.)

Could be worse. Better than stamp collection, IMO.

Been a bit since I've chatted, but a Photographer got some great shots of my car at my local cars and coffee this weekend. I did a quick wash but it needs some wax pretty bad.

blnewt - Thanks! Luckily i had some practice with my old G35 so I knew which direction I was taking this build. I have a few more little things to do, then I am done for the season. Buying a rock for the lady on Tuesday so the big projects gotta wait til after i recover from that purchase. haha.

Not a huge fan of the window decal, but otherwise it looks great!

Thank you Brad, I really appreciate those kind words, exactly what makes it worth a while to mod our cars Yes, the look I'm going for is definitely not over the top but rather clean & classy or as some people refer it to "fresh" . Thanks again

Exactly, what that's about, I didn't have any practice as this is my first car I've been modding thus far (i.e drop, rims , and everything else) so I wasn't sure what direction I was going regarding stance etc. but I made up my mind now after being lowered on Eibachs, and I definitely will be achieving a better nicer stance, yet not too crazy so it's still functional

That's just a buddy of mine's company and he asked me to throw it on for a big meet in Orlando a few weeks ago. I'll probably take it off here soon.

Hey man, you learn along the way. With my G35, I was lowered on two different set of springs before I swapped for coils. Had 3 different sets of wheels before I REALLY understood offsets. It took some time, trial...and LOTS and LOTS of error. I spent (and wasted) some time and money swapping out parts.

When I got my 37 i planned what I was going to do. The only thing I have messed with is height and offsets. Wanted to do it right the first time. Only thing I will be changing on the suspension is swapping out for bags. Can't WAIT for that. haha.

I like your stance man, it looks great, not too much but you can def tell it's modded. If you ever have any questions...don't hesitate to reach out!

Wheel fitment looks amazing, but what impresses me is the choice of extended lug nuts... in black.

Considering the black car, and the light silver finish on the rims, those lug nuts and rims look real good to me in this picture:

Thanks! Lug nuts are a little beat up...Need to get a set of new extended in black.

I didn't have much of a choice about the exhaust tips..Bought it used and got a steal. One of these days I plan to polish them and get them "unburnt" hah.

Yep, you're 100% right on that. My bad.

Techno Tips go the full Disco, whereas burnt tips just hint at it. Good point, ChinkyChoy.
