Headed out of the J scene
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 6:43 AM
I had a lot of fun and learned a ton about cars in general since I started working on my 03 Cavalier, everything from aligning a body kit, building up a full custom exhaust, fiber-glassing and smoothing out interior plastic parts, to custom built HID projector setups. I am now moving on and while I still have the J, it will be getting sold shortly.

Just purchased my 06 G35x with 25k miles, Obsidian Black and already had tinted windows. I love the looks of the car and AWD will be a plus for my Minnesota weather. I will be modding the car tastefully since I am now working a real job and not just in college. My plans are to start by doing a Quad projector retrofit and painting the housings black to go with the car. I will probably not be adding any to the sound system, unless someday down the road I decide to put in a touchscreen navigation system since that is the only option the car didn't have, the stock Bose system sounds great. Second project includes changing out all of the surface mount leds for gauges/buttons inside to blue and white.

Will try to put up a few pics, just have to get them from the camera to somewhere.

It is an auto, wife does not know how to drive a stick, and is 100% opposed to learning and she thinks that for some reason she may need to drive the car.

It is my car, she has an 08 rav4, but she was worried about driving it if her car is out of commission or something, don't ask me.. its a woman thing... no offense to any females on here intended.

Too bad it's an auto since I wrecked my G5, I've had to drive an auto everywhere until I get my car back, and it's torture!! Such a lack of things going on, it's just not something you're used to lol...

I'm glad my girl was willing to learn stick though... or she wouldn't be driving my car... especially since I bought it before I met her lol...
