Question Finally got my G... What is the next step?

Got my G tonight... check the Got G for my post...

A couple thoughts after a night of driving...
I look at everything (motor, trunk, and car in general) and think WOW I want to mod this car a little but Theres no way I am smart enough to mess with this Beast... I mean... I look at the back of the headlights and think...Thats gotta be a PITA just to change out the fogs/daylights.
I love to work on my car... I had a 2k2 maxima that I did 75% of the mods on it... I know this is a whole different ball game with a G.

I definatly want intakes ... and Im thinking... No way in Hell do I wanna mess this sucker up!

Ive not gotten to read all the posts yet about everyones Gs. But can anyone give me things that are already out that you guys are starting to do?

I know I need some opinions on:
1. Tint
2. Fogs/Running Lights
3. I think Ill wait on InJen intakes
4. Small trunk but I want some type of SUB
5. what else are you guys doing?


Let me know if any of you felt this way when looking at your car.
Also hit me up with ideas and what kinda modifications are availible...

Thanks guys... I look forward to a B E A U tiful relationship...haha

i would say tint it.. i like dark
fogs match with heads, simple upgrade
intakes? not for performance but for sound. Depends on wha category you want them for.

Yea... I know I'm goin to wait on exhaust... just till everyone knows which options they have and which are the best... Im not sure if i want to smoke the fronts and rear yet... I havent decided if I want to stay true to the color of the car... or go with a gunmetal offset theme like I did with my Maxima... If more Carbon Fiber stuff keeps coming out... It may be too tempting not to.

EDIT: also the theme goes with the tint... Dunno if I want black tint or a reflective metallic...

LEDs and keyhole cover were easy.

Then fog, parking lights.

Then aftermarket audio.

I'm still waiting on performance parts that do anything.

I know I need some opinions on:
1. Tint 35% is perfect for night and day.. all your preference tho..
2. Fogs/Running Lights... car comes with them integrated for a reason already..
3. I think Ill wait on InJen intakes.. me too.. injen rocks
4. Small trunk but I want some type of SUB...better than bose?? really.
5. what else are you guys doing? enjoying the ride.. i'll hook it up when there are more 37's on the road..

About your tint job...consider this..

i personally wanted blackish tint so i got premium "normal" tint for about $200 done. i did 35% on all sides and 20% a bit darker on the back windshield (rear view near the trunk) I think this setup is hot so it looks uniform and classy from the sides and a bit darker from the back for more privacy...

If U wanna go real premium for tint you should consider Huper Optik tint, find a dealer near you. they do tint that is blackish as well but with a slight metallic/ceramic glow to it. it's classy not that crap mirror tint stuff if that's what ur thinkin. dont mean to commit treason here but it's the choice tint for BMW enthusiasts. Huper Optik is the classy choice but on a black car the "glow" sticks out, wheras on any other color car especially your Athens Blue - the slight glow complements it!!!! However this $hit is so premium it will run you about double. $400 roughly for ur car. lifetime warranty against scratches/defects, peeling etc.
