Got my car back from automobilia auto salon in ct and they did an amazing job! Highly recommend them!3/4 of the car is done in expel and the whole car including wheels and calipers was done in ceramic pro. Website that I bought my front license plate mount from ended up using a pic of my car for the website.

Congratulations on your GTR. I'm jealous.

I'd likely go overboard on mods with one of those, there's so much available.

there are so many good deals on modified gtrs on nagtroc! I wanted to start stock since there is a bunch of warranty left. Thinking of doing a mid pipe soon for a little more growl, and then I will hear the car instead of the transmission which sounds like a dryer with rocks in it at low speeds.... one annoying thing is how terrible the backup camera is on my car. At night I can barely see a thing

Don't forget to get a tune and really wake the car up.

The 17+ trans is much quieter. You can't really hear it. The ride has changed some too. Overall the new ones feel refined compared to the previous models.

one of the reasons I got the 15' is because that's when they softened the suspension a little. Probably not as nice as the 17' but pretty good. Maybe my transmission will grenade itself under warranty and I'll get a 17' trans! here's for hoping!

You buy a GTR; all of a sudden you find a way to afford/justify parts because power is so easily made and it becomes so slow after a couple months of ownership and the cycle repeats after every mod(s). With a GTR, if you have to ask about affording it, then dont bother owning one. It's the least expensive car to own with the blend of everything that it does/has. I just dropped $3600 on a billet front diff case. Breaking two OE cast ones, I felt it was time.

OR buy a GTR that someone already built and set some money aside in case something breaks.
