I have those EXACT wheels from my G35 except that the rear is also a +22

... i really dont wanna run a 10mm spacer - but I might just try throwing those on for fun

motoextreme · 12-24-2009, 03:35 PM

Keeping my fingers crossed they fit ok but 10mm shouldn't be too bad.

man o man cant wait to see your car,

I get a sneak peak on the 28th or 29th

motoextreme · 12-24-2009, 07:16 PM

Come up the 29th, maybe it will be painted by then and I can take it over to Altered to get the Brakes and Coil Overs installed.

Getting there!!!

Taking my boy to see Avatar, catch you later bro.

Rather then just sift through the thread, I'm going to add onto the first page with the mods.

For anyone following the build, see page one. Getting there!

Marco_xyz · 12-25-2009, 06:23 PM

Yeah I will try to make it the 29th

Seriously Adam I don't know any other person who has modded their car as fast as you have!

motoextreme · 12-25-2009, 06:49 PM

I always do it this way, wife hate it! HAHA

dalparadise · 12-27-2009, 08:51 PM

Nice going so far. Can't wait for the end.

Are you selling the Nismo wheels?

motoextreme · 12-28-2009, 12:19 AM

Already moved them, thanks for asking though. Parts move fast on this board!

Hence the name Motoextreme.

motoextreme · 12-28-2009, 08:21 PM

The name did fit the shop at the time. You should see some of the carbon and ti bikes we put out. Built one for a pretty famous guy from a popular sitcom, it was awesome. A bit over the top but pretty cool just the same.

motoextreme · 12-30-2009, 12:06 AM

Coming home to see boxes in the garage is like Presents under the tree!

Here's what showed today, iPHONE pics so not too clear but you get the point. Some nice CF for the engine bay and the tow hook I've been waiting for.

Hopefully I can put it all together this weekend.

PS. I know under the hood carbon is a little pointless but I like it just the same

yes you deffintaly should paint it flat black. i got my 370z NISMO and painted it flat black left the stock rims alone and it looks amazing.
