Damn, you need to change the title of your thread to the "Top Beams' Economic Stimulus Thread". Great list you've got there, looks like you're going to be busy for awhile. Shouldn't have any problem finding those 18" wheels but gotta ask~why not just go straight for the Vossens, or are the 18s a winter setup?
Look forward to pics as you go, just keep going w/ this thread, should be a good one

.Yes the 18's are going to be a winter setup, I will keep my Vossens in a warm place for a bit.

My only advice is to pace yourself on modifying the car. When you do too many things at once, you run the risk of a post-climatic response. You see it all the time on these car forums... people go nuts with every mod they can think of, and then dump the car.
In other words, if you plan on owning the car for a long time, then spread your mods out accordingly.
If not... then just go crazy and enjoy it, LOL.

Fortunately for that plan, your 18" Enkie's aren't staggered on that AWD Sedan.

Hey guy's, I took my car to a hand car wash and I noticed that there was a bird s**t stain on my rear bumper, left side. Not that big but vissible if in the shadow or the sun is on it. I bought a bug remover in Autozone some guy recomended and it didn't work I did a little research on myg37 and it looks like if I use Miguairs Scratch x2.0 it'll go away?! Please let me know what should I really use to remove this idiotic crap.

I ordered my LED's from V-Leds on sunday and UPS delivered it to me today, couldn't wait and finish work asap and install them .
I left work and went into my friend's garage, it took me like 20 minutes to change all of the bulbs. Ceiling, doors, rear ceiling, license plate and Reverse bulbs.
The color of the bulbs looks fantastic brighter than the OEM and definetly gives the G a new look inside! The only oain in the a** was the Trunk Reverse lights. The Handle I didn't know how to take it off for about a few minutes until I realized that you can unclip it and after put it back in... I thought I broke it when I took it off lol.
Here is are some pictures that I took.

I agree with you guy's... but I already ordered 8k from DDM Tuning. They will have a bit more blue than the 6k and 10% less visibility.

How are you liking those 8k headlights? Are you planning on using the fogs as DRLs? Probably looks pretty nice at night w/ the matching color temps.
What tire & wheels specs did you end up running?
Oh, and if you crack open those headlights be sure to grab some of those crystal clear lenses from The Retrofit Source, I love my STi-Rs, much sharper cutoff and look really nice in there.
