Mod Suggestions..

Ok guys summer is right around the corner and i need my baby looking fresh... if ya havent read the sig i have an IP on Graph.. so i have a couple things in mind but i need your help..

As of now i have
Custom plate
Led's

Definites are
roof overlay
valance
limo tints

Now this is where i need your help

Hids..
Worth it? if so can you recommend something along with pics.. something less blue then 30000k along matching it with fogs..

OR should i leave it stock and just match my fogs, if so what bulb to match it along with avialable pics if can do..

Drop...
i dont want anything to low, the rear always looks good but the front always seems to be a bit low.. im thinking h&r but i dkk i need your help.. an comparision would be great if can do.. anything recommended...

Lights...
Full or gtr overlays.. i like gtr bc its different but is it worth it can you honestly tell?
or
should i go full, in terribles car pics they look so sick but then agian it might be his photo skillzz.. n i think full is getting a bit played out, i think i might go gtr..

id go with h&r's and id get the full overlays from stickercity.com they are dark and would look amazing on your ip. im going through the same problems that you are. i want the exact same setup your basiclly looking for. i have 15% tints they look clean as fck. im deciding whether to get gtr overlays but they look too light i wish bat made them all black except for the cutouts that would look sick, but i suggest until he steps it up you should get the 35% smoke overlays from sticker. you should also just replace the fog bulbs they are good enough and cheaper. while your at it remove the yellow reflector and that ipearl will be the car all ur g35 homies want. CLEAAANNNNNN and keeping it fresh to death none the less! peace!

As far as the lights go, I don't see any need to change out the stock HID's. The oem ones are fine to me. Personally, I plan to have my headlight housings painted to match the body rather than using overlays (but I have OB). I also wouldn't lower too much as I've seen some pretty slammed G's around here and I don't really like the look myself (not to mention the camber issues and the rubbing that can occur). I'm looking to do a subtle drop mostly for the front but thats about it.

Its your car. No one's gonna be able to tell you what you're gonna like best. But as far as HIDs go...lower temp, more visibility...higher temp, less visibility. If I were to change out the stock HIDs, it would only be for 1-2K more in temp.

Overlays, etc etc...I wanna see it in person first.

i think the s-techs are the lowest in the front but the rear of the H&Rs is lower.. And i think the GTR cutouts only look good on white or black cars IMO

I had H-Techs on my old G35 and regretted it. I bottomed out on everything and the springs were no where stiff enough, resulting it lots of body roll on corners and potentially screwed up my shocks.

Anyhow, we have this nice listing of springs in the suspension mods with ride height drop, but there are no spring rates listed as well as info if the spring rates are progressive or linear.
