New Wheels and Exhuast
So i got my hands on some g37s 19's and bought ebay catback. very happy with the way it turned out. I removed the 3.5 badge right after taking these photos.
sprayed the welds and most of the pipes to protect the welds that didnt look the best and over time could rust. better to play it safe since you cant see those parts anyway
next mods:
roof strip overlays
paint hood
strut tower bars
end links
y pipe

Your lucky to have gotten some of those rims man. They look GOOOOOOD on a 6.5 and the exhaust looks great too. IMO you shouldn't paint the hood. It looks fine the way it is. I would suggest a new grille or maybe even paint your headlights if your up to it.
If you need instructions on how to paint headlights then let me know.

Ebay Catback
I installed the Known Ebay catback about two months ago. I didn't paint the pipes, but i probably should. I have noticed a lil rust, but i took my time and polished it off. But your car looks good man keep it up, I ihave got to post some pics up. I plane to take care of the trim strips, and do something about the front grill, havent decided what yet.....Then probably a CAI....How much did you end up paying for those slick rims???

thanks guys
only painting the hood bc it has ton of rock chips you cant see in the pics
i just used some high temp engine/exhuast enamel paint maybe vht nothing special just made sure it was something durable. i didnt spray the tips bc i didnt want to ruin the polished shine. the back of the muffler is done. i figured the front i can easily keep clean.
my plan for the grill is to spray it black but leave the emblem polished when i get around to it.
the wheels do look great and ive gotten so many compliments on them found them for a fair price on craigslist. just a heads up they used a shank lug nut.
