Go back to being a jealous bitter clueless bitch that you are. Throw another tantrum and leave the forum completely - or continue to shit talk me, giving me a reason to come back here and antagonize you.

Go back to? So does that mean I stopped? What post marked the change? What am I jealous of? Your Einsteinian build? Your 10 year old BMW? Your psychological issues? So many questions :popcorn:

But most of them are rhetorical. The question I have still remains- how can one spend $1200 on Z1motorsports.com and come away with parts that will net 60WHP on a VQ37? Please post an exact parts list and a dyno sheet with gains of or in excess of 60WHP with those exact parts. Should be a simple request for the all knowing Chartard, and yet you are on your 12th combative, deflective, desperate post. Why not just show us all up and post the parts? Surely you couldn't have been wrong.......

$1000 to refinish the wheels? That's a huge cost. I just had my boyfriend's wheels done for $380.

Got the G back this afternoon. Faith is restored. I thought I was just getting/bored tired with it but no, the shocks/struts were wasted, and now if rides/handles like new. It's also quieter. Also, the Q50 just isn't a very good car - the ergonomics especially - gauges, dash and infotainment - just awful. Jumping back into the G was like waking up from a refreshing power nap.

Every place I checked - dealership and otherwise - was ~$200 +/-. The G37 wheels, though they simply look like AL w/clear coat, actually have 4 coats of paint (black, gray, color, clear), ergo, the cost.

I didn't realize it till I got home but the color is not the same - they're now gray whereas the original finish was a bright silver. Perhaps it ages or something but I'll have to call the dealer tomorrow. Also, it's remarkable they can take out the curb rash and nicks and the like.

$1700 for OEM shocks and a tailight is still too much

Not really. We charge $145/hr and use a matrix after the first hour. Maintenance is $100/hr, with brake work being at $115/hr. Warranty pays $135/hr. Those prices for the taillight and suspension are bang on the money.

I was saying for the parts... $1700 for M&L on all that would be reasonable from a dealership. $1200 for shocks is asinine, they are $250-300 for the whole set online. You could get significantly upgraded shocks for that money. W/e though whats done is done.
