Sound is extremely deep with ZERO rasp or braaaaaap, just nice and clean.
Try finding an HKS 4" Ti exhaust, those sound great. Though I never expected to have a quiet FD.

From what I understand, the hks ti is not fully titanium, the piping is stainless steel. The amuse exhaust will be my last one unless I really like the arc titanium.

Got the rear bumper on today, I am going to put the diffuser on once it gets painted. The car is currently: VR, laser red, montego blue, white, black, and carbon fiber. Car needs to be dropped atleast 1.5", need to sell some of these parts to buy suspension. Car is EXTREMELY dirty, haha you can see all the fingerprints on the hood. I think the work vsxx just dont fit the look of this car, need to find a new wheel.

Found some nice 18" HRE 545 for sale that i might pick up. Right now they are in silver. My photoshop skills are pretty basic, at best, but you get the idea. I think it looks better than the works. Maybe the wheel should be all black?


maybe matte center, black gloss lip? I think this G looks pretty sick.

hey, have any more pics of that g35? I love the matte center with gloss lip but IMO it'd only look good on black cars. For your rims idk but its really hard for me to make a choice between the rims you want when your front is still unpainted.. maybe its just me haha

Brian i would def do the matte black center look with the polished lip. I think you posted it in the 1st page, the one on the white lexus. That looks SICK!

That black G that you posted too looks sick as hell. I cant wait til i get my G. So hard to find a red g35 6spd around me though.

I think you should make the wheels white. They look so much nicer if they were white!!!!

I agree. I think the satin black face looks SICK, I am just not sure the wheels fit the look of my car. Finding the right wheels is my hardest problem.

Sorry, just not a big fan of white wheels at all. The ONLY car white wheels belong on is a NSX-R.


Anyone know anything about titanium piping? Can it be bent like aluminum piping? Want to do something similar to below, minus the white sock.

-1 for CE28N, the most overplayed time attack wheel.

The fitment is more important than the wheel. Aggressive fitment can make any **** wheel look decent.

Congrats! Trust me, if I cared what other people thought I would have all 99spec parts, with +50 offset wheels.

On a shitty side note, the fd got towed to a shop, second time this month. Awesome. Went to pep-boys to test the battery to see if that was the problem with my starter not starting. Battery checked out okay. FYI i have had issues with the car not turning over, sometimes taking 20 minutes to finally crank. After taking a multi-meter i learned it is a problem with the alarm wiring and since the pettit starter booster is wired into the alarm a problem arises. the starter was only getting approx 8 volts.

Anyways, I put the battery back in and it does not start for at least an hour. So I jump start it with a screw-driver and it barely starts by me opening the throttle 100%. Than it runs like **** and idles really low with a CEL with something with the oil metering pump, so I am assuming that it is flooded. Called my insurance, specifically asking for a flat-bed truck, of course they send a regular tow truck. So I had to wait 4 hours at pep-boys waiting for this tow truck to tow my car. Will see what the mechanic says tomorrow, hopefully just de-flood the engine and probably new plugs now.

Someone donate me some money for:

Get your car sorted out?? That's a weird problem to have...why'd you get the pettit starter booster? Is your battery relocated? Hope it works out soon!
