New rims and ICE

by **SolaraSilver** » Fri May 25, 2007 4:30 pm

Just picked up some G35 6 spokes off the local craigslist with good tires on them. Sanded, primed and painted with duplicolor wheel coating (graphite). Pulled the calipers and painted red when I put in my new ceramic pads and brake fluid. In dash I added a Caliber 650dvd and navigation unit. car just spent the day at the local dealer getting tint and TSBs taken care of. For sure turned heads as I pulled in. Spent 1/2 hour talking with the service guys about my mods. I'm thinking about modifying my exhaust a little more. I've got the magnaflow in, but I'd like it a touch deeper without sounding like a honda. Any suggestions?

The little trim panel that goes around teh screen is off so I can trim it down a little bit more

here's some longer shots....I just snapped some while in the garage after cleaning and waxing. Sometime soon I'll get out and take some full view pix

Yeah... I'd like to see that car in some larger views...

Rims are looking interesting on that, but hard to really tell.

What rubber ?

Rims are wrapped with bridgestone turanza 215/55R17s. I like these as all around tires since most my driving is just short trips down the freeway, and its freakin dry here.

Yeah here's a suggestion for your exhaust - jump on this Group Buy for the headers/Y-pipe! :up:

Those look like the G35 Touring Sedan 6-spokes. Look pretty good painted with a matte graphite like that - let us know how that paint holds up for you.

Nice work.
