Duy's G35 Sedan Progression Thread, step up from the tC!

[DTRUONG_112]

Just picked up a 2003 KYO(Brilliant Silver) G35 sedan with 153k miles on it. Pretty much stock all it's life. Didn't even have tint on it. I traded my 2005 Scion tC in for it. Figured I would make a progress thread to highlight some features because I have some big plans in the works for it.

Here it is first day of ownership 6/18/12:



Blacked out the grill with plastidip 6/22/12:



Grill reinstalled and also polished my headlights because of the yellowing, no before pics:





Also picked up a set of G35 coupe 18s for a steal to replace the ugly 17s 6/24/12:







Installed Stance GR+ True Coilovers and got the windows tinted 7/6/12:



Completed my quad projector retrofit with the morimoto system 7/9/12:

Wheels are on and suspension has been somewhat finalized. 9.5" and 10.5". -4 up front and -6 for the rears. 7/31/12:













And here are pictures of my tC before I traded it in:

They both look/ed damn good!

man, I love how that G is looking. so clean. nice set up with the wheels.

I also want to post a new thread because I need advice on my set up but i hate you have to post a minimum of 20 post to post a thread. -_-

Nice looking car man, looks like it needs a pull in the rear though. What size tire are you running on the 10.5?

[Big-Kokujin]

Whoa...NIIIIICE...lovin the stance and the retro(favorite part)...

tC was nice too...I wanted the 526s but ended up with 527s because they said at first they werent coming out in x10 for 4 lug...

[b3tox01]

what rims where you running on the TC? and amazing looking G35

[DTRUONG_112]

XXR 526 in chromium black.

Picked up this new "used" NRG polished strut bar the other day:



Along with a discontinued Fujita polished intake off of ebay that is super rare for the early 03 G35 sedan like mine for a steal:



And I also updated my build with an engine bay progression too.

The tc looked really good on the 526's. I feel like those are hard to pull off.

The g35 is coming along nicely, any plans to paint or replace the plastic trim around the bottom of the car? I think that would help it look less stock.

[DTRUONG_112]

I agree with you on that man about the 526s.

Got a kit ordered already! It'll take care of the stock black body.

[cireericd]

daaaamn i love everything bout this car,im still stuck with my corolla for four more years,i soo want a big body sedan very nice platform youv chosen

[burke420]

id say remove as much plastic from that bay as possible to see the VQ under it

[DTRUONG_112]

Already got started on that!

[evilchargerfan]

i like how just a few bling bling items totally changed the engine bay! very nice!

[jaystellato]

This looks really good mean. Simple and clean is always in my book. Plus I have a soft spot for G sedans because theyre less common!

[JawDropper]

OMG I love your g. I want to pick one up myself i just dont know if I want the coupe or sedan.
