Default About Time I Introduce Myself!

I've been on the forums actively for about two years, but never shared my personal ride. I live in Kansas City, and here she is. She's a 2005 PPW 6MT. I bought her bone stock down to the air filter in December of 2012, when I traded in my Obsidian Black 2004 G35x Sedan for her while lusting for a manual transmission. That said, all three of my last cars have been VQ35 driven, because before I had the G sedan I had a G coupe so I'm no stranger to the platform.

Appearance:
-VIS Terminator GT hood (may be getting color-matched)
-Painted black roof
-2007 style front bumper w/ black LED markers
-Painted center of bumper black, also shaved the emblem
-Dropped on KYD GR2's and Tanabe GF210 springs
-Authentic 18" Nismo LMGT4 wheels 275/40r/245/45f
-Shorty Antenna
-Bumper tuck
-Complete debadge of rear end
-20% tint all around


Performance:
-HKS Hi-Power rep exhaust w/ Magnaflow X-pipe
-Resonated test pipes
-MotorDyne 5/16 plenum spacer w/ CCV
-350evo rear sway bar

She is my daily as I go through college, and I hope to get some approval from the guys here that have helped me out so much!

Now onto the pictures! Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the site! Looks pretty good. As you said color match the hood but leave the vents carbon fiber, and some wheel spacers and you're good to go!

Looks great, can't go wrong with that color combo. Get a lip

Thanks guys, and yep the vents will remain carbon fiber. Wheel spacers, lug nuts, and front lip are actually most likely my next purchase for the car

Just need to save up for a while. I'd rather roll with no lip than a junky ebay lip.

loving the LEDs. Nothing signals I've got my $#!+ together than a string of LEDs where they don't belong.

(totally teasing. That is an old Manson Joke when he carved a Swastika in his forehead before he went to meet the Parole Board. The joke was "nothing signals the Parole Board that you have brought your $#!+ together than carving a Swastika in your forehead just before your hearing").

Anyway, welcome to the Z family!
