So first let me say that I'm ecstatic to be part of Club 4G. When I first laid my eyes on a 4G, I instantly knew that I had to have one. 2 wifes and 3 kids later, I finally was in a position to get one. My babe (wifey) was 1000% supportive of me getting a 09 GT. Selling her the idea that our 2 kids would be able to fit in the back took some effort but nonetheless she gave in, even cosigned for me at the dealership.
She was in love with it also. So, since of having the car I've been able to get these mods:

Exterior:
SE lip
Custom front splitter
Ralliart Eyelids
VIS Monster GT style carbon fiber hood
AIT Racing Blackout sideskirts
GT concept fenders
Aerocatch Extreme Flush hood locking latches
OEM projector HIDS
6000k D1S bulbs
Rockstar sticker +20hp

Engine:
6g75 100.3k miles
Stock, under warranty from dealership
New:v
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
OEM Timing Belt
OEM Water Pump
OEM Idler pulley
Koyo Tensioner pulley
OEM Hydraulic Tensioner
Dayco Serpentine Belt
Dayco Power steering belt
NTC Thermostat
OEM Coolant (blue stuff)
OEM passenger side ballast replaced

Wheels and Suspension:
20" KMC District rims front & rear
R1 Concepts brake pads/slotted rotors
Eibach pro lowering springs 1.2 back/1.4 front
Eibach pro camber kit
Rydanz Roadster R02 P245/35R20 95W
Black chrome w/Mitsubishi emblem tire valves

Interior:
Aux cable
Goluk T3 dash cam
Anker 20k battery pack
Escort Passport 9500IX Radar Detector
Stock Rockford Fosgate soundsytem with the sub in the trunk
White LED's in map, dome, trunk, and rear plate light

Thats it for now, future mods include
Injen CAI
RRE Headers
Carbon fiber wrapping the roof

If any other mods come to mind...you will just see them in updated pics.
Thanks for all the advise everyone on here has given me, and I hope to be part of the family for years to come...because our 4G's are the last of their kind (for now) and sharing ideas across the board will help us all keep them running great and looking rare. [emoji6]

I think what makes it look so good is the yellow paint. Yellow and black is a great combination for cars. The new piece you added flows very well, factory looking but still custom if you know what I mean. Like it belongs there from the get go. Job Well done, your car aint the juice...its the sauce!:69:

I got the NGK Laser Iridiums installed, pretty easy job

Why OEM oil filter? Just wondering
I’m sure Fram Ultra and Purolator One synthetic oil filters are higher quality, especially when used with synthetic oil

I have the DC Sports CAI so I have the cone now with a filter sock on it that’s supposed to be maintenance free for 100k miles; my stick air box didn’t fit properly anymore since my car was in a collision in that corner and the subframe was bent up

Swapped out cv axles(DSS) and did an oil change cause why not. Damn upper strut bolt snapped on me, got a replacement at Home Depot till OEM part comes in.
Thx to Milwaukee tools, their m18 mid torque impact wrench works badass, saved me so much time and energy[emoji1377][emoji1377]
Oh and no vibrations whatsoever from the new axles thank god

Are your tail lights after market? I'm interested in tinting my tails, but I will absolutely NOT spray tint them like a lot of people do. Wondering if there was any specific issues you had or if theres a secret to have them turn out great.

Thx btw, I used Vvivid, approved by Ckwraps of course. These are the stockies, no issues getting them to stick at all. They are the smoke black ones, got them off Amazon. Make sure to have a heat gun on hand. Took me about an hour to do both. No problem.[emoji41][emoji41][emoji1360]

Got some new hid fogs from Kensun. My last pair of fogs lasted around 2 years, not bad for 20 bucks. Went with 8000k this time, I had 3000k on forever and wanted to change it up. Now looking to get new D1S headlight bulbs to match. Anyone ever heard of RCP? They got good reviews on Amazon and only 22.99 and they got a 20% discount going on, gonna get a set, will update.
