The Morimotos were my planned purchase for the fog conversion anyhow - I've always used them in the past and won't stray because I'm stubborn like that

You and me both, man. I'm just drooling to get this project started. I want to get the HID system for the fogs ordered so I can take care of everything at once while i'm doing my headlights.
Although, I'm still tossing the idea of getting a more yellow bulb (3000k or 4300k) for the fogs... I've used it in the past and it helps in the foggy conditions we have on my back roads and around my area. Not too sure how that would look on the G though...

Coffee Talk...
I'm going to meet up with Choman this weekend, Winter weather allowing. Take note of his sig line... with those mods and tune, his 6MT is putting out 40hp over OEM trim.
Yikes!
I may or may not take pictures. Two G37S 6MT Sedans covered in road-salt is not exactly a beautiful thing. It's extremely rare, sure, but not necessarily photo worthy.

Take the pics! I grabbed one at the mall this weekend of a GT-R and a G coupe.. A bit different though all of leaving at the same time was interesting. Liking that GT-R more and more....
Tomorrow is the day, RHFCs and Hotchkis bars going on. Maybe the Cusco but I still need to finish the tweaking of the intakes.

The swaybars, on the other hand... that's something you will appreciate immediately, and I suspect you will have a Holy F*ck! moment when you go ramping around your local highways. That is, assuming you've got the tires. Upgraded sways will matter a whole lot more if you're running 3-season tires.
That Cusco bar is a simple DIY that you can do at any time. Here's the thing, though... you probably won't appreciate whatever there is to appreciate if you do it at the same time as the Sways. You might recognize the handling characteristics better if you wait to install the FSTB. Even better still if you installed it before the sways... but I don't think that's going to happen.
Either way, tomorrow is a big day. Enjoy it, Rex.

Excellent. Looking forward to hearing your initial opinions. But actually, it's your opinion and comments after a few weeks that probably matters more.

As far as tires, I need tires. I've been trying to decide what to do, we don't get a lot of snow here but some ice. I don't think I need snow tires for the winter but I'm sure there will be days I couldn't run a summer tire as well. So the question becomes do I go all seasons or go with two sets of tires. I've been following the discussion on the snow tire thread but it hasn't really helped much. Right now I'm running staggered 18s squared up with Brad's help. I have two sets of Rays so I'll be running a squared set of 19s shortly and was looking at a squared set of 20s but I'm not certain I want to go there. Right now I'm leaning towards PS AS3s but I seem to be stuck in a bit of a loop.
Thank you though, it will be enjoyable I'm sure! I actually decided to go with the sways now based on some of your feedback so thank you for that.

You'll definitely enjoy the sways but don't set them at full stiff in the rear. They are 3 way adjustable in the rear so you may just want to set it in the middle, semi stiff. I have a blast all the time hitting the onramps and out here in So Cal we don't have to worry about snow tires or all season tires for that matter. We can pretty much run summer tires all year long
The HFC's will make your exhaust much louder than what it is now but enjoy that too because i do. Love putting the windows down in tunnels and underpasses. sounds so sick...my kids just love the way my Mia growls.
