That's one clean looking G for sure! I've been looking to source some Paddle shifters as well, but with no luck. The new ones are ridiculously priced for sure. I ended up spending money on an aftermarket exhaust and some minor interior mods.
Nice how do you like your new exhaust? Thought about doing that but the sound is pretty good stock for now. I swapped out some lighting for LEDs.

Update on original post.. using KlimaCleaner on evap core fixed the musty issue, and getting ECM flash for transmission improved that and also increased MPG. Just recently I added some Lucas oil stabilizer in the engine (a lot less than recommended) and I'll need more time to confirm but so far my city MPG went up a TON!

When I first got the car my city mpg was like 10-12 and now it's 18-20 like I should be getting. Crazy.

I went with Tanabe's Medalion Touring Axel-Back Exhaust which is similar to OEM but with a deeper grumble. When just cruising it's well behaved and no droning whatsoever. It was a piece of cake to install too ~30 minutes.

I think my next mod will be the Takeda Attack CAI.

PS: I'm glad you were able to restore your fuel economy, gah 10-12mpg city... that's crazy!

That sounds cool, I was concerned about droning sound. Deep grumble sounds pretty satisfying, as long as it's not the cheap-sounding putt-putt noise a lot of 4-cyl cars with aftermarket have.

Do you know how difficult it is to replace fog lights with LED? Also wondering if the LEDs I have would be compatible.

Welcome to the forums Dan! Beautiful looking G there and super dark tints! Looks like a limo 5% tint there, pretty sure they're illegal lol... as for the issues I hope you get everything worked out soon so you can fully enjoy the car for what she has to offer!

Welcome! I've been thinking about getting the AT flashed as well. Let me know how that goes.
