My 2011 G37Xs coupe build

So I purchased this car in the summer of 2015 and have done some stuff here and there to it, I went cosmetic first and then ill do audio and finally ill go for HP.
So here is some pics of what ive done so far.










I started off slow, I started by tinting the taillights and debadging the car and trying to do away with the chrome *I personally hate chrome so thats my preference*








I decided to get some tint and new wheels as well *dont judge the wheel gap, I finally got the springs sitting behind me to lower it* lol











I got some yellow tint for the fog lights and some ultra bright LED fog lights as well.

I dont know if the video will play but they are very bright!

got rid of the muffler, just took it off and had a shop weld some pipes on as the old muffler was like 40 lbs..

After all that was said and done I decided I didnt like all the chrome in the headlights so I decided to paint them.















the shrouds are porsche panamera shrouds and they are LEDs as well, they are very bright.



I ordered the Eibach 6394.140 Pro-Kit Performance Spring Kit and it got here today so by friday I should see a nice drop for that wheel gap

Nice job there Derrick! I saved a few spots for future details (as I'm sure you'll have a few )
Like the red/black scheme as I'm not a chrome fan either. Do you have any other shots of that front emblem, looks good w/ just the front painted red.
That drop should really complete the look.

Thanks btw and this is the best I can do with what I had, I can go take other pics if you want.

it does have rock dings as this was my daily for over a year in ohio ive been touching it up as I went along

I upgraded the ground wire with 1/0 gauge I had laying around *I used to be heavy into car audio, if you skim my youtube you will see. I had a integra type r with 6 15s in it prior to getting the G*












all the red that is on the car, fog light trim, headlights and emblem is the OEM A54 red, the black in the headlights is a BMW 6 series black with flake in it, I will also be painting the grill to match as I have painted the rear spoiler to match the headlights but ran out of paint to start the grill.

Nice job on the drop, should settle a bit more, do you have any camber & toe kits installed?

Nope, I followed a build on another site that has a awd g coupe with exact same size rims /tires and lowering kit and he said it was all within tolerable numbers. He had all the numbers posted and everything. I'll keep an eye on my tires and if there is any un even wear I'll do more work but this was basically plug and play it seems.
