Fsport accessories sale is between Sep 10 and Nov. I would really like to get the F sport strut and sway bars. Maybe the exhaust too.

Alright people! I have now taken the decision to do something special for the car to celebrate its second birthday. :grin:
I am going to spend some money and get the following F sport items:-
Fsport Suspension
Fsport Springs
Fsport Strut Bar
Fsport Sway Bar
Fsport Mats
Fsport Gear CF ****
The last two mods will definitely give me atleast 20 WHP. Would have got the Fsport sticker for an added 5WHP but the extra weight would negate the effect. So decided against.
I was going to get the Fsport Exhaust and the Intake but I havent been able to get enough confidence that it will actually work on my car because they are made for the IS250 and the IS350. Also, the pain I had to deal with to get the car passed with just springs is fresh in my mind.
A couple of days before I pull the trigger. What are your thoughts?

Sways, the JUN TW says are thicker than than the Fpsort frmo what i remember and are much cheaper. Best mod u could ever do.
Springs; consider coils as eventually u may want those if u plan on wanting to go low. If not, you got TEINS and H&R and i dunno what else, that will give u a lower drop. The F-sport ones give a minimal drop.
Strut bar, unnecesary, dont waste ur money
F-sport exhaust will fit your car definately,
intake might not cause the intake tube is different shape so it wont line up correctly
thats just my 2 cents.

@ndk83 - thanks for the input. Would like to know my options better now. Where can I get JUN TW sway from? What coilovers do you think is best value for money. I am currently dropped on H & R and like the drop but I don't want to ruin my stock suspension.
If I am not getting the Fsport suspension and springs then will put the money towards the exhaust.

best coilovers? depends what u want em for really, racing? or jsut to drop urself to the floor? Lots of options TOM'S advox, JIC magic, Zeal, H&R, Tanabe, TEIN, D2. etc
check the suspension thread out, ur gonna have to consider stiffness, drivablitiy, ride hight, comfort and price
Saraha, since u have stick to the H&R's for now until decide what u want, coilovers are the most imp purchase ull make IMO

Alrighty, So the first thing to arrive was the CF Wrap for the Interior from Aerotect.
Had to take my interiors apart to get it done properly! I was doing it myself and had to grow myself an extra few ***** for this. But finally mustered up enough courage and voila!!!. Didnt even scratch a thing
Then had to open it up into little pieces. Actually easier than pulling everything apart.
I got the rear one finished first. An Easy one.
The Driver Side came out alright!
Not too many problems with the passenger side
The centre Console was a proper PITA. But done!

you should paint it gunmetal. it looks way better. I have my stock 19" painted.
you should have bought the other g35 wheels. and paint those gunmetal. so much sexier.
