My Y50 350GT Fuga M35X build.

I have had my M for about 2 years now I Picked up a 07 M35X Advance tech, 66K great deal. I had very little plans but of course how long does that last?
Figured I would start with a little concaved wheels I got them for a decent price so I went with it.

I liked the look of the car but I just couldnt find a sport lip kit. So I went with the 08+ sport bumper. I also had a side project of retrofitting my spare set of headlights so I went with that as well.

This was intended to be a install day and seem's like I was the only one to get the memo.

Wanted to do something a little different to make my car stand out from all the other M's out here RS6 LED' bars.

Body was coming along so figured I should put some work in on the interior.
Upgraded the speakers to Polk's amps cleansweep to come.
Had a brilliant Idea created my M56 themed interior:

Very nice grain on the interior. I don't know enough about the factory interiors to spot the work, but in any case, it's a good look.

Forgot all about this thread... Here are some updates.
Went with some Volk GT7's for a little while but just wasn't feeling them for long.

Came across a killer deal on some Nismo LMGT4's always loved these wheels and had to do it.

Also added some engine bling. Polished upper lower plenums powder coated copper, timing lifters polished and coated also. Went with Polished and candy engine bolts thinking about timing cover as well just need to find one for a great price and someone to do the work for me. Considering a full tuck so I can get rid of the engine covers.

Removing the timing cover will be a PITA to do. Did that on my g35
before. I prefer the engine cover on the bay than open like that.
keep up the good work tho

Nismos look too sporty for the Y50. You running blue Akebonos ? Copper seems out of place if black / blue is the theme. Love the front bumper conversion

Yea, I wont be doing the timing cover myself if I do decide to go that route... I can only imagine the pain in the ass its going to be.

Yea, I am going for a sporty theme, not overly crazy about the overly VIP think. Yep Akebono's the brake color is a seasonal thing and will be getting changed soon to go with the copper plenum. The copper and interior all pull together and a few other things are coming down the pipeline. @Boricua do you drive a white M? May have seen you before out and about.
