2008 6mt g37s

Picked this car up from my dad due to some health issues making his mobility decrease. I knew I was getting the car awhile before I actually took it off his hands. I instantly started combing this thread for suggestions and deals on modifications. The stages I would like to progress the car in are as follows;

Stage 1 (one year plan)
BC Coilovers - Done
R2C Intakes - Done
Delete Pipes - Done
Axle Back - Done
Tint
De-badge

Stage 2 (2 year plan)
Tires
Spacers (possibly roll fenders)
- had to take 20mm spacers off due to all four tires rubbing
Sway Bars
Front lip / splitter
rear diffusor

Stage 3 (3 year plan)
Short Shifter
Navigation upgrade
Full exhaust (Headers Back)
repair minor paint issues on car, have rims re - finished
Dyno Tune

Stage 4 (4-5 year plan)
Turbo kit

First pic with spacers that did not work, Second as it sits now

Thank you very much for the prayers, that means a lot!

I am actually embarrassed to say on the spacers. We have a metals expert local here and he actually makes them, these were for my buddies 350z and we tried them out so there is no name brand, I am hesitant to do anything with the fenders so I may just pick some 15mm up from a reputable company.

I just purchased 15mm H&R DRM wheel spacers all around for my car. They should be in tomorrow so fingers crossed I have no rubbing issues with my 20s. Send forum member Topher9425 for a price quote he's guaranteed the cheapest price and insanely quick shipping on almost any part you need and he's a great guy and answers all questions quickly and professionally. Just message him saying Kenny referred you and he'll hook you up with a great price guaranteed. Also try posting the spacers in the classifieds section they'll probably sell quickly just make sure to post up some pictures with it.

What kind of Axleback did you get? That is next on my list =)

Could you also elaborate on the "delete pipes"?

I went with the Manzo axle back exhaust. After looking at the price of catbacks and full exhaust systems I did not value the HP return for the money. I decided to go for the aggressive sound instead. Since I shifted focus the Manzo was chosen cause the note did not sound that bad from finding videos on youtube.

I also paired the Manzo with the Berks (non-resonated) delete aka "test" pipes as the car is already past warranty and I knew they would give a loud demanding tone. here is a youtube video I made for comparison:
