Default New 2GS Owner

Just wanted to introduce myself. Recently sold my G35 and got my 2GS not long ago and looking to learn from the members on the forums!

Looking forward to modding the car and just washed/clayed/polished etc. a few days ago and snapped couple pics of it.

Mod list is starting to build already so mods are suggested and acutally welcomed!

TTE Replica lip seems to be the norm on the boards these days...everyone's first wave of mods.

Welcome to the boards. Look forward to see the mods...

cant see a reason to fork out 500 on a AUTH TTE lip that I cant even find!

till u break that replica fiberglass piece of crap and after coughing up the cost WITH shipping for the 2nd one your ALMOST at the cost of buying a real one. they do pop up from time to time just have to be patient and wait. took me almost a year or so to find mine. hell took me almost 2.5 years to find my l-sportline rear bumper.....

sometimes the wait to find it and then buying it is more thrilling than as getting the part immediately

Actually I was just saying that all the new owners want to get the tte replica on their car...that's all..not a discussion with fake or not. More of a 1st mod is a tte replica.

IMO its because its such a cheap mod that makes the car stand out and distinguishes the car from the many gs300's out there
