Well got a few things finally put on....first it is possible to fit the front lip in the car...it was challenging though as I think the front receptionist at the dealership got a good laugh watching me play Tetris with this box!

Got the front/rear SPC camber kits installed, front lip on, and FINALLY got my TPMS swapped over.

Than you sir! Really interesting to get a chance to go a different route this time around. Things have been going pretty fast, and I need to step back for a moment. Too many plans floating around at the same time.

After I install the RJM pedal, STS, and ****.....going to gear towards appearance a little more. Headlights should be in my near future along PC my rims and calipers

Car looks great, DFS! Really love that Malbec Black in the sunlight!


Those red lug-nuts look a little out of place, though. Maybe something like the Project Kics R40 Iconix lugs might look a little better with the Malbec Black. It's not quite, black, but not chrome either... the lugs change color based on the light and angle kind of like your car color.

Agreed. Black or gunmetal would work much better, IMO.

Isn't it weird there are three seemingly identical white sedans in the background? At first glance, they seem the same, but I believe that's a Toyota Camry, a Mazda 6 and a Nissan Altima.

Now I didn't do this today, but on Sunday I installed my new headlights that I had OnEighty do. I was also able to finish my wire tuck while I have the front bumper off.

+1 for black chrome/gunmetal lugs.


Wow! Very observant! I hadn't even noticed that. Almost looks like he's out side the IRS office or some government facility with all those white sedans. Seeing how similar all 3 look from a distance really makes you appreciate the uniqueness of the G Sedan's styling.

Well I took it back to the shop and put on the lift. What was done is add some spacers near the second bracket by the x pipe. It was really tight on my x sedan, that removed the annoying vibration under my feet. Don't get me wrong still some vibration is there but not what was there before.

On to the second part the sound in low rpms like Air escaping seems to be near the welds of the x pipe right before the 18 inch resonators. I'm not sure if that is what is referred to as rasp or not. Will need to get another ear. I'll touch base with fi and see if that is normal or if maybe it is just a bad unit. Anyone experience this?

Ish come on over anytime man! Always up for meeting and talking to other G lovers.

Gentelmen I do appreciate all the comments, its still a work in progress...and agree 10000% the red lugs are out of place....I posted a few posts back that my new lugs came in. While the gunmetal/black would go of course...I'm upping the color scheme here. Actually have purple lugs, caps on the way and will be powedercoating my calipers in the near future along with my rims to tie it all in.

On to another note...my Torque Solution STS came in and I'm in love

- CNC'd stainless steel
- Ball bearing pivot
- Stainless steel hardware
- .25" height reduction
-PRICE

and then the RJM pedal Plan is to install the pedal this Saturday, drive for a week or 2 to really appreciate that mod ALONE...and then will install the STS and **** whenever I can make my mind up
