I'm sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was an amazing man/father. Always cherish and remember the good times and I'm sure that he's looking down and enjoying every moment with you in spirit.

Thanks Kenny, much appreciated sentiments. He's actually still hanging on by a thread. He's been battling ALZ for 20yrs now, very advanced.

OAN, your coup is freaking gorgeous man, very nicely done. You are precisely why I didn't buy a coupe! LOL. Do you have any advise on where to go for OEM parts?

Wanna trade my coupe for the NSX?

These are some of the more well known sites for anything OEM.

Infiniti USA eStore

Infiniti® Parts Online - InfinitiPartsOnline.com?

I know all to well about ALZ. God rest his soul, my grandfather had it. It's definitely a tough one to go through. My prayers are with you and your whole family.

Yep, it's an evil disease that robs you of your humanity. I've been taking care of him for 15 years now. He's a tough SOB though and has never backed down from a fight. This is no different. Unfortunately he so far advanced that he really has no quality of life. Not the way a decorated Air Force fighter pilot would've wanted to go out.

Well that didn't take long^^^^ and 50/50 is better than many that have jumped on the initial G mod boat

Alzheimer's is just so heartbreaking, sorry to hear your beloved father has had to deal with such a lengthy and tough journey. It does sound like he really had a very positive impact on your life, so that's a blessing.
I've had a couple family friends that have had it and it's just as tough as it gets.

I love that front bumper on your coupe. Will that fit on a sedan?

Stillen Cat-back Installed

Had fun installing my Stillen Cat-back exhaust today. Very easy and straight forward. Fit and finish are as good as you could ever ask for in an aftermarket exhaust. I was a little concerned when I chose Stillen over the ARK and other options as I had heard it has a rather conservative exhaust tone. Well, I am pleasantly surprised with how nice it sounds, even without an intake upgrade. It's got a nice burble at idle and really sweet growl when you get on it. Looking forward to installing my R2C intake whenever it decides to show up on my doorstep.

I've always loved the subtle yet noticeable look of the Stillen exhaust esp on sedans. Very nice choice of exhaust 1K2go! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Kenny, slowly but surely I am extracting the suburban housewife from my G. It's no HKS, but it looks anything but subtle compared to OEM. Next up is SS braided brake lines installing this weekend.

Nice progress, I had a feeling you'd keep your Visa busy
That really does look nice back there.
