All it took was o ne of around 4100 sets of M35 Stagea Autech Axis wheels ever made, a front lip, a subtle roof spoiler and a few other little tweaks. Also, how’s Oppo doing? I t’s been a while since I posted last so I figured I’d do an AMA.

thank god you finally polished your headlights.

Give us an angle that shows off those wheels! I kinda want some G35 wheels for my LS400...

Favorite vape flavor?

I assume you blacked out your tail lights and put an obnoxious exhaust on it because I assume every G35 is like that now.

nice - that front lip works nice. I know they are a bit fanboi-ish still , but those first gen g35s I think are going to go down as an iconic 4dr sedan like some of the BMWs, a few Benz, etc...

This isn't a Monte Carlo OR* a Grand National.

Where the fuck did you get those wheels?? Looks awesome though, are you thinking of doing a Skyline conversion? Is that a thing G35 people do?

The exhaust is obnoxious as you think it is, the tail lights are still untouched.

That looks good! Did you black out the reflectors?

Not the greatest pic, but how’s this?

Thanks!  I got the wheels from Japan. I might be the only person in Ontario to have a set. A ton of people do the S kyline badge swaps but it’s kinda tacky. There’s no shame in being Motor Trend’s 2003 Car Of The Year.

I’ve got this one called RIP that I’ve been digging lately.

What The Crazy Kanuck said, t he taillights are still very red, but as hacked together  as the exhaust is, it has no more drone than stock at highway speeds and has pretty minimal rasp.

Thanks! Yeah, the amber units just made the car look like it had a weak chin and nobody was selling clear ones at the time .

The 305-powered Cutlass Brougham from which I got my name now belongs to  TheVancen.

Thanks! The coupes are definitely going to go down as iconic, but I’m not sure if the sedans will. Fine by me, it’s kinda nice not to stand out too much on the road.

Gotcha... online or through an importer?

Why not Advan?

I found them through Croooober (UpGarage’s global web store) . Super quick shipping through DHL. Not quite overnight parts from Japan but pretty close.

Ahh, that’s what I was wondering... I just ordered a strut tower bar from there a few days ago. I was a bit hesitant but I’ve heard a lot of good things.

I still have my clear set even though the cars long gone , they do change the look nicely.

The clear set works fantastic on silver cars. Good choice!

It took a few days to process the order but the wheels arrived 2-3 days from being shipped out and as promised have no cracks,  bends or imbalance . I’d definitely buy from them again.

I know this isn’t much help, but  I have this one at a weird angle

And this one taken with a potato

I kept something a little more subtle. The faded silver interior door trims have been wrapped in a holographic metallic black  vinyl that sorta matches what I painted my old summer wheels.
