My plan is to one day own one. I keep looking out for one but it will be a while, or I would need a new, higher paying job.

Ravi, what are you driving now? What color would you want to get?

Thanks mreh! Man, the headlights were a bitch and a half to do. On top of it all, since it was my first time, it's not exactly the best paint job up close. Plus, I just noticed today that there is a little bit of condensation, so I just might re-do the sons of bitches, lol.

You know now what I'm driving.

I would either go for the white or red. I never liked red cars, but I like the look of the G35 in red.

1. dont you dare put a wing on that
2. the black roof makes the car
3. you may outgrow the gold wheels in a couple years, considering your age
4. G35s look best in white, as the window line is the show-stopper design. wouldnt do it any different.
5. as for the interior, suck it up, and let ppl be attracted to the outside. this gen is better looking than the new one. for sure

Ravi, the red does look sexy when done up. But I'm partial to white . Beautiful car btw.

Thermon:
1. No wing planned
2. I agree
3. Considering I'll keep the car for less than a year, I'm not worried
4. I agree
5. I love the interior , so no complaints here .

Talking Picture whore thread now...

That's what it has basically come down to now, haha . We had another meet last night (more like a mini meet, only 7 of us) and some more photos. I'd rather post these since they were with a DSLR rather than my little P&S. So here goes...

You know, I was just thinking about that. I know the guy w/ the blue FX that's boosted meets up w/ the g35 guys all the time. Do you go to meets often? It would be great to meet you man and see your sexy whip dippin' on 22s . What city do you live in?

yeah, the guy with the blue (sick) FX is Viet... or he goes by "rookie" over at the infinitiscene.com. He's one of the founders of the site... you're more than welcome to join there, tho it's mainly FX guys and a couple EX owners. But we welcome anyone really... plus our site has an arcade I used to go to meets often... but the ONE downside about meets WITH the G guys is.... basically all the G guys kinda keep to themselves and us, FX guys do likewise with ourselves BUT if I actually knew someone from the G side, that'll change things.

We go to the tracks too

Well let me know man. We have a meet this Thurs. in Burbank @ Hooters and one in Glendale on the weekend (it's gonna be a BBQ). I fucking love the FX as I think they're one of the sexiest SUVs around, so I'm down to check some out and meet people.

Nicee....but have you thought about waiting for Klumzyee's new modified Nismo front? It should look pretty sick!

I'm considering getting the Veilside sides (4 pieces). They look pretty damn clean. How are you liking your ride?

the new nismo front kinda reminds me of the 06 sport bumper which im not big on. his new kenstyle v2 looks promising tho. i just want a front bumper that is poly not fiberglass.

i was thinkin veilside since its an easy kit to put on and cheaper to paint but i think i want a full skirt. and i love this car. with all my bolt on mods i dont beat on the car at all. i was thinkin of gettin the cobb access port to tune but wuts the point when i dont even use the car to the potential. lol

Yeah, I feel you on the nismo. I'm partial towards the 06 bumper though and I love the Nismo, so when he made a bumper that kind of combined the two, I fell in haha. But I agree with you about poly for a front. Too bad he is only making it in fiberglass.

I'm also at the point where I'm not going to be making this a ball busting speed demon, so why not make it look . Keep me posted on your future mods!

I really need to re-do my suspension as my car isn't nearly low enough, but I'm broke hah.

Sharp car! The white on gold wheels never fails to impress me..really nice setup! There's actually a local guy selling his black 05 Sport Premium for 20k with 22k miles and just for kicks I drove and was impressed! It's an absolute steal what G35s go for nowadays...

Thanks bud! It's a love/hate relationship with the gold, and I'm glad you like it . As for the prices, it's true you can pick em up for a steal these days. They're great cars. Not the quickest of the bunch, but still fun to drive . But I'd rather rock an '09 E90 M3 'soon' anyways right?

Red face Bored - car badly needed a bath & took some photos in the garage

I hadn't washed the car in a couple weeks after it rained. In addition, the sprinklers got to my car a good 6-7 times and left some gnarly hard water spots that needed some extra care. I got bored and decided to take some shots in the garage. These were w/ my dads camera, which isn't the greatest, so oh well :p :coolio: I also swapped out my S-Techs to GF210s which already are quite a bit lower. I'm sure they'll settle quite a bit in the next few weeks or so. Enjoy.

all but the last....some guy at the last meet took that shot w/ his DSLR

However, I'm assuming that was a sarcastic remark/question

Sweet ride man! Who did your headlights? I've got a set of 06 lamps sitting around here I swapped lenses and custom painted as well.

I think I'm going to wait until the spring to swap my 05 bumper for either an 06 sport or a Kuruma Z bumper. When I do, I'm installing those babies first thing!

Thanks for the comment on the Rays wheels. I want to get spacers so they don't end up looking tucked all the time.

Wow your car has come a long way. When did you get bit by the mod bug and how long did it take you to get to this level you're at now?

haha, thanks bro...I actually did the headlights myself. Was a pain in the ass, but definitely worth it . I've thought about getting the 06 bumper, just been laggin'. Definitely get spacers -- I would get 20f and 25r, they would look sick. As for the modding, I've had the car since last December, so.......haha . I bought shit for the car before I even got it! I say start modding it now, it's so much fun

`John

P.S. Thanks for the compliments!

You know a part of me knows I can't wait it out all the way through.

As you can see from the post ^ ^ I've had these headlamps since last year. Plus I've also bought Bluebat's overlays for the taillamps as well as some cold cathode lights for the interior.

I want to go LED like the 7 series on the inside with a small twist for the footwells.

Knowing how much of a tech freak I am, I may end up doing something hightech as far as the carputer is concerned.

See its already beginning. And the picture share section over on G35 driver isn't helping much either lol

So what's next for you John? Where do you see her going?

Funny thing about all this is, I vaguely remember posting in this thread a while back and them wham it hit me all at once....must be getting old or something!

John congrats. I remember you posting about getting your G in another thread too. So about that new M3...is that going to be your new East Coast whip when you move? OR are you just going to ship the G coupe?

After all the work you put into it, I'd ship it. As for me, I decided against the Evo and stuck it out with actually deciding to keep and mod this car.

I DO want to boost the G and eventually I'll be able to do this a couple years from now. I doubt it'll be a 9 second monster but I'd be happy to see if I can turn it into the G coupe version of this car
