New Head lights for the G35

[McG35]

Well, I bought 2006 head lamps (only real difference is that 2003-05 didn't have projector head lights). It took 2.5 months for them to finally make it to me...

(this is the good one)
After I finally got them, one of them had very noticeable damage. After opening it I noticed 1 mount on the face plate was broken and 2 of 3 mounts on the projector was broken.

After some Epoxy and JB weld I was able to put them back together and in the process added alittle paint

it is a metallic flat black, I think it will look really good on my car. Now I need to do the same to the other one and wait on all the new bulbs to arrive!!!

That should look pretty nice. G35s are hot ish.

I think they will look real good!

They should make a big difference! How come it took so long to get them? Also, how much did you pay for them?

[McG35]

It took so long because the guy was called up for Army stuff... (his excuse) $200

My car was stock in this picture if I remember right

[Jaybird]

She is a hotty! Hopefully within the next 6 months I will have one as well. How has she been treating you so far?

[McG35]

Well... I have dumped $8k, going into $9k into performance, I put a dent in it the day I got back from Iraq (fixed), and now the clutch is dying and I have a pimp clutch/flywheel combo in the mail. Once I finish the head lights and grill, I plan on finally taking updated pictures of the car and showing it off here in photo forum.

[Jaybird]

If you don't mind my asking, what has 8K gotten you in parts, and how well has she responded to them?

[McG35]

Well, I think that the suspension was the one point of the car I didn't like stock. I put Progress Springs and Tokiko HP (8 way adjustables) on (both of these are for a 350z because it sits .5 inches lower than the G35 ones) and Stillen Sway bars. I think I might have spent $1000 on all of that. Crawford HFC and Borla True Dual Exhaust, I put these on at the same time so I can't say I know which did more but, I did notice a power gain, not a huge one but it also made the car sound ultra super sexy. I think fully installed these 2 parts were almost $2000. I bought an Ebay intake, I have a hard time justifying $300 for a peice of pipe, a pretty nice power gain and it sounds cool, only problem is that the filter is a POS and the seal between the coupler and the metal for the filter broke and it sounds like a blow off valve... which brings me to my K&N filter in the mail that I will say will bring that to $100. RIMZ!! I got 20x8.5F 20x10R Donz Montanas, I wrapped them in 245/30/20F 275/30/20R Faulken FK452's. not only do they look freaking amazing, but they really help with getting the car to hook up and keep traction. I also have -1 degree of camber on the front and -2 degrees on the rear, lets just say the tail end wont kick out so easily again. I must have spent $3000 on this alone... Then it was just a buncha small things that slowly added up, Hawk HPS brake pads, light lighting thingys and such. I bought these headlights, OH, I have a JWT clutch and Unorthadox Flywheel in the mail for $804...

I actually think I am selling this car in the very near future, if you are interested!!
