A month ago i could of sworn on anything that i would not drop another dime into this car after all the mishaps that seem to follow every mod.
Well my local car enthusiasts hit me up to go to a meet. okay sure i GUESS i'll go.
Well thanks to the damn meets im back to dropping cash and time on my car lol.
First i thought hmmm, well i guess i dont have to spend any money if i recycle my old amps and subs i got.
so i dug them up and upon inspection i noticed hmmm. it couldnt hurt to upgrade the stereo.
So i foolishly dropped the dough on a pioneer dvh3400... and the dash kit And the wiring harness AND the antenna adapter. okay hurt to spend the cash but i figured i was done spending.
NOPE, next came better RCAs, better fuse, better fuse holder, better speaker wire, then sub bx, and again sub box. I was done... or so i though amps looked sloppy just laying there so i got an amp rack :facepalm:
Got some new wheels, new HIDs, new LEDs, fog light wrap, and upgraded the brakes!
Got quite of bit of time invested to working in m car with all the wiring and adding a bit of detail to the interioer and exterior :slap:
so here is what ive done so far within these 2 past weeks.

Bought some OEM "rare" g35 wheels to use as spares while my current wheels sold (didnt happen)'
Image
I've never been a fan of chrome but i'm rather fond of these!
Image
Image
Image

Here's the wheel/tire size difference between the 17s and 19s
Image
lol not sure how it looks on my car though!
Image


Rear diffuser and front lip are balck now.
Front lip not pictured. but the bottom of the stillen lip is black 2- tone.
Image

New double din
:mike wrapped the dash kit in CF wrap lol
Image

also re-wrapped the center (shift knob area)
Image
Image
Image
also re-wrapped my door handle
Image

Mic and threw the BDT back in
Image

Taming the endless 4-chan and mono amp cables
Image
Image
Image

And the product so far as it sits in the trunk (for now)
Sound ordinance sealed box, zenclosure dual amp rack, Hifonics hfi 1000D and Hfi 55.4 amps Rockford fostgate p3 (Dual 4) currently running at 2ohms with 750 watts going to it.
Rockford fostgate RCAs and monster cables for all speakers, and sub.
Image

WHEELS ON!! :cool:
Alright guys if you can remember how my car used to look after i switched rear bumper, fenders, exhasut and lip, this is almost a completely different car lol. If you saw me on the street you whouldnt know it was my car. Lip is off and in the shop getting painted, Wheels are also off and im running my G wheels while i wait to get my Tenzos painted :bigthumb: gonna go BOLD here lol.

Here fogs are out, decal is off and lip is off. Plates are back on unfortunately! :mad:

:werd: i hadnt either but theyre legit. Stamped on the inside with the company name and all.
Theyre from a g35 sedan. Double 5 spoke in chrome look nice.

And the sub box and amp rack are like that temporarily dont want to compromise too much trunk space.
Oh and the rack fits behind the sub and they can go further in. Just positioned that way for pics

Im gonna say ~450 for the double din, dash kit, antenna adapter and wiring harness.
ITs not a navi system so the double din itself cost 380 some with tax

thanks! :cool: nope removing it was a breeze! all you gotta do is pull up the base from the shift boot and it should come right up. Unbutton the shift boot from the knob and you're good to go!
there are 2 screws that hold the boot and main base together just unscrew em and youll have the 3 pieces.(boot, main ase, and base that hold them together.

The stereo part was pretty easy i dont have much prior experience wrapping but it was fairly easy to do. The dash kit on there is a scosche 2 piece so i wrapped in within 15 min.

I think the black lip is cool. Most of your muscle cars have them and the lips get road rash bad so black hides it.

What I think would look pretty snazzy is painting (or wrapping) the center of the lip/bumper in black where the lower bumper opening is
