Why'd anyone hate on D&V? LOL... They do like perfect work. But at the same time they hurt my wallet!

I'm happy with the way the G turned out. It's like totally worth what we paid for.

How things are moving along with your car!
That was funny.... I'm going to key both of your cars

Things are going with the car, just going slowly. The good news is, since this is the 4th re-build I'm used to the process and the downtime.

The car went to J&D Auto in Gaithersburg and got OEM Nismo exhaust installed. It sounds deeper but yet still very clean. Oh and the oversized tips are seexxxy and fit perfect with the Kenstyle rear bumper.

Now the drop.. hmm... Put stock 350z shocks and springs on. The drop was not as aggressive as we wanted it to be (should've known better). But I figure it's gonna give Monica some time to drive around slighter lower than stock with a longer front end. In a few months when I decide to swap out my coilovers, the G will get the Tein Flex.

Before Nismo Exhaust...


After Nismo Exhaust...


Before 350z shocks/springs...


After 350z shocks/springs...


It's weird... the rear actually looks higher than before. What a waste of effort... Coilovers FTW!

Start a thread to ask for idea on body kit! I'm sure we'll throw you some crazy ideas! Keep in mind.. it's better to get something that no one in Mid-A has. That way when you go to a meet, people will know it's Clay's car instead of like another car with the Nismo bumper.

This can be good and bad! Since prices are coming down on aftermarket parts I guess companies may be ridding themselves of older kits and dropping prices on newer ones [?]
I'll start looking around and post up some possibilities pretty soon. I don't want anyone pointing at my $hit and saying "OMG, it's a real Transformer!"
