Got the car in Jan 2013 and started modding 6 months later, very slowly.

Due to my ordering of very expensive wheels I took it upon myself to grab a garage spot at my complex. Chattanooga is NOT a very safe city when it comes to theft % so it was pretty much common sense to get one before my wheels came in

after 18 weeks my wheels are finally here!

Fast forward to a few days ago

Car is prepped, primed and ready to go for the wrap!

Got my 06+ heads coming in this week(thanks to UltraBootz) and working on my gloss black grill at home. Exterior is almost done. Just need legit clear side markers, new taillights and a front and side splitter.

After that Ill most likely dive inside the car for interior updates.

Going with 3Ms new pearl white gold sparkle wrap. Recently saw a Fisker wrapped in it by the shop doing my wrap and its gorgeous

Good job and good luck with your project car.

thank! I do plan to do engine bay work eventually but after I spend $2200 on a wrap, Ill be hard pressed to spend any money on the car, besides fixing the window motor and getting new bulbs for the headlights...at least in the near future.

So yesterday I jumped on the interstate...hit a dip in the road at about 60mph and one of my exhaust tips fly off, bounces and go over the car behind me and roll into the median.

Luckily it didnt hit anyones car and Im not sure how since there were a good 10-12 cars right behind me.

Last week I was doing work on my car, removed the tips and the only thing I can think is that I didnt tighten all 3 bolts that hold the tips on the piping. I took the remaining tip off the car and only one was tight as well. I guess I should say Im doubly lucky since they didnt both pop off.

Anyways, now Iv got 2 new tips on the way to my house. The current ones are nearly 3 years old and pretty worn so I figure what the hell.

The tip ended up with some deep cuts and the opening is now shaped like an egg. It took a beating, could probably be repaired but Im not about to drive around with it like that.

Went with ConceptZperformance since each tip was only $75 a piece after shipping. Motordynes site wanted to charge $111a piece after shipping. Nothing like saving $70 on something I shouldnt have had to replace.
I guess my new duradal center caps will have to wait!

New interior LEDs. Doors, trunk, license plate and over head/courtesy. Made sure to wait until night to get the true brightness. So much better then those garbage dim yellow lights. Makes the car feel a bit nicer too.

Nice G build. Didn't see this thread until now. Subbed to follow your progression.

It's too bad about the tips, I had to installed new tips on my motordyne last week and was thinking to myself how retarded the way these tips are secured by three bolts. I guess you gotta keep checking them every now and then to make sure they didn't come loose. My old bolts were rusted and seized up and I rounded with the Allen wrench...finally had it removed using a flat head and mallet wedging the old tips out. Did you pick up the Gt-r tips? I got the 4.5 but it seems small lol now thinking I should get the 5"

thanks man!

Yeah, it did suck but it was definitely 100% my fault. I stuck with the 4.5", it already kinda feels like a tight fit near the rear bumper.

finally got to see clear side markers with the bump in person and decided they looked good....so I bought some!

Car dropped off at the shop for the wrap! Body shop apparently missed a few things and now Iv got to pay over x2 as much in labor cost for them to go ahead and fix it....

anywho, 7-10 days, optimistically speaking and $2500 later
using these guys

Atlanta Custom Wraps

shop sent me a single pic of the wrap against my wheels...they told me they wont send anymore so its a surprise...SO CRUEL :D. Im happy this is all they sent.

They said it should be done by thursday evening...cant wait!

Next on my list is either replacing the stock bose head unit and/or new front seats or reupholstered seats to a deep red.

I have ZERO knowledge of seats so I have a bit of research to do. However the only seat Im really liking due to color shade and style are these Braums. Im not a fan of seats that hug my shoulders or thighs.

I dont know how much safety comes in play and what I should be really looking for so yeah, reading is needing.

Just got the car back yesterday from Atlanta Custom Wraps and took a couple videos in different lighting. The second half is a bit shaky, sorry about that!

Let me know what ya guys think...not like its going any where for at least 2 years.

any of the yellow/gold you see in the video is from the wrap. I filmed the car under white lights so there would be no question about that.

Clean build man

thanks Jay...now I just gotta do a little of whats in your sig ;)...time to save some more money

Ah damn that's a great color, I would love to have my Z painted the same color :yum:

Your Z was one of my favorite builds on the forum but I really like what you have done with this car!

I still have my Z and will never sell it, I need to update my build thread wih recent pics :tup:

oh geez...forget about that paint! I couldnt redo that near 5 figure pearl paint again. I went to atlanta custom wraps and spend $2200 for the wrap. I made sure to go to a legit shop though, never been a fan of half assed work. Though the body shop that did all the fitting and work really screwed the pooch.

Im jealous! I sure thought Id still have my Z to this day. The G definitely has a completely different look. After I put the eyelids on tonight, it helped the front end even more.

Good hearin' from ya!

Wrap material is so good now you totally can get away without painting, this was a great idea on your part!

no denying...if I had the dough, paint would have been a no brainer....no brainer!

went out and took some pictures on saturday. Ended up with about 70 and NONE of them were good.

this is the only decent one I got out of all of them. Either too pixelated or full of artifacting.

Actually getting a proper shoot done by a photographer on wednesday evening

Finally got this installed!

Though Im pissed I didnt do my research on the JDM harness. I stupidly thought that the opening was the same as the Metra kits and had a head unit all lined up. As you can see the JDM one is a good 1/2" taller. Still happy to have the upgrade, no question!

Great pics!

Love the way everything came together, would only add a set of Brembos to finish off the build :tup:

dont you get me started! I ordered my works in O-disk and lower offset so I couldnt fit a brake kit :)...save myself some money. Since Iv had a hard on for a set of greedy grex since 2009. I know a nice set of akebonos or brembos in a deep red would look great though!

gotta love them summer tires...tested out the car in 1" of snow. 45 minutes later I was able to dig myself back up the drive way. Good cardio diggin 2x200ft paths for tires. I was stuck up in Va. an extra day and had to spend $30 on 7 bags of salt to melt the snow and ice on the hill to get back to Chattanooga.
