Can it be done?

Hey All, can the following be done (all on the same car)?

Convert an Auto to a 6MT (with paddle shifters)?
Convert an AWD to a RDW?
Convert a base model to a IPL?
Convert a hardtop to a vert?

Merry Christmas everyone

With an unlimited budget, you can build a G37 that will take you to the moon and back.

Cheaper to find what you want.

Yes you can convert an AT to MT, not easily, not cheaply, but not terribly difficult. But a 6MT with paddle shifters??? WTF is that???
AWD can be converted to RWD. Again, possible but expensive.
Base to IPL? You can put IPL parts on a base model if you've got money to burn.
No, you cannot convert a coupe to a convertible.

The bigger question is, why would anyone want to do any of this when it's cheaper and easier to sell what you've got and start over?

If you want a 6MT with paddle-shifters, you are going to have to find a non-Infiniti DCT.

Sometimes you never know. Hey man my seat has 13 less perforation hols in it than everyone else. Will plasticote harm my wheels? Will flat paint make my car slower? My friend told me if my radio wasn't on my car would be faster.

Sometimes...

There have been quite a few eye-raising threads lately. I wonder if it has anything to do with the issue being talked about in the "This Idiot" thread about the G37 scene going downhill. Time will tell...

I was about to flame you for paddle shifters with the 6MT. Glad you came clean as a troll.
