Those are gorgeous.

In fact, you both are correct. 2 piece custom forged by Precision Forged which started earlier this year. Decided to give the guy a try and also met him whom was really cool, and ran me about 700 per wheel for the finish I wanted which ultimately came out better than I envisioned. Considering how they just started up I think they did an amazing job.

I hope he didn't charge you extra. You can change out all those lights in about 3 minutes.

He just charged me $45 to do every light inside the car even the trunk and sun visors, I think that was pretty fair.

It's your money and as long as you are happy with the results.....but you only need a flathead screwdriver to change those lights and a few minutes of your time. The door lights literally take 10 seconds to change. He should have charged $10 at the most. Time for a new mechanic..

I understand that, the car is new to me so I guess I am kinda afraid to touch it. Still learning a lot about it. The $45 also included all the other interior LED lights and guarantee if any of them go out they will replace them. The only lights I brought were the ones with the logos because they don't carry those. Another thing is I work at a medical clinic and extremely busy, so I appreciate my mechanic and his time. He has always kept my cars running tip top shape. He did say I could do them myself but I opted for him to just take care of it. Thank you for the advise and I will try and get a little braver when it come to little upgrades. :-)

Where did you get those air filters they look awesome! Links?

So I am pretty excited, I did my first upgrade on my own and it went pretty sooth! Thanks @mummy2 for the pep talk! LOL! I have included a link to the part I bought. The hardest thing was pulling out a little bobby pin looking thing that holds the **** in place. You need a pair of little crafting pliers for that, I got mine at Michael's for $2.99 or you may have one. Let me know how you all think I did! 😁 I think it's a huge upgrade and worth every penny, the original **** was such an eye sore compared to the rest of my good looking interior and it reminded me because I handle it everyday and could feel the chipping paint in my palm!

They’re from R2C, based on the name on the filter elements.

Those are the Black Hex filters from R2C. Still have that intake on my car, seven years later. Here's an old thread on the kit:

Not at all on-topic to the thread, but she's asking, and I love this pic:

@Rochester thank you for the pictures and thread link. That looks like an awesome kit but I am thinking doing something like this to my engine is a little too complicated for me. Also I go to the link from the company and for some reason it says the am not available for California residents. Thank you for taking the time to post all this info though.

20" rims on my G37 coupe (Concept One CSM01 Black Machined)

So, what did you do to your coupe today?????
Finally got my 20' rims installed. Concept One CSM01 staggered 8.5" front with 10" rear ( 38/38 offset). Y'all forumers had me convinced they were not going to fit due to offset. No spacers, not lowering my car after having a Cadillac XLR on 20s because the Austin streets are brutal so cry about the gap all you want but I love em as they are.
