G50 Pix

Before I do anything major to my G50 I just wanted to share with everyone what I am starting out with.

This car was owned by a preschool teacher since 1995, purchased brand new thanks to her rich husband. I bought the car 2 years ago and have since been getting it back to oem specs (dealer maintained previously). I have since joined the Air Force Reserve and hope to start with my VIP/EXE mods with my new income.

Enjoy the before pics :thumbsup:

hmm I guess I can share with VSC...

For now I have a small list:
Aimgain coilovers
Aimgain aero kit
President Trunk and tail lights

What wheels do you guys think would look good on a g50?

xbizzle - Why do you say that? I think the M5ish look in the front looks good.

Thanks- (arigatou) I still have yet to get the body work on the fenders to make the lights look more oe but they will look good one day!

those wheels do look pretty nice!

I have heard my unit might have a few missions to Japanland next year :smiley:
I'm sure I could sneak a few parts on the plane since I will be in control of the cargo...

Your very right about that. Our opnions are just opnions and not facts.
It's about doing what you like so props to you man. I think if they didn't have the projectors maybe like silvia dual projector and a fog they would look better.

+3 on losing the headlights and yes, get the crystal clear koiki G50 Q headlights. They are an aftermarket unit also, not a stock piece. A few places I saw in the past sell them as just a clear cover which you glue onto the headlight housing after trashing the stock lens. The chrome clears are the nicest..make sure to get the smae corners as well.

My 19' work euroline 3 piece will be up for sale soon. I had to up my wheels to 20" to get clearance for my driveway.

it would rock hard on your g50.

keep an eye out.

hmmm.... I would suggest the OEM kouki JDM healights. Those actually are not crystal clear but they are not like the USDM healights.

These are OEM and IMHO look 100x better than the aftermarket ones. Just difficult to get a hold of.
