Add another Q60 into the mix. Picked up a '14 Q60S in Venetian Ruby in January. After putting about 6k miles on the car, I'm looking to heavily mod the ride and turn it into something I can run down the drag strip a few times a year.

Dunno if any owners/modders are familiar with the Denver area, but I would love to know/hear about a recommended shop that handles Infiniti mods. First of the year I am looking to start the following laundry list and would love suggestions on any shops to talk to:

Supercharger
Suspension
Exhaust
Custom Paint
Wheels/Tires

Thanks in advance!!

I haven't picked up those parts yet. I've heard a few different catbacks and the FI catback is the best combination of tone and loudness for me. I'll probably be my christmas present to myself

The ISF is the most fun I've ever had in a car...it handles so well, crazy fast, turns heads, and is super reliable. Even stock when I first got it I was in love. It was also (and still is) the fastest car I've ever owned. Perfect combo of sport and luxury

Don't get me wrong I love my Q60, as I wanted to go back to a 6speed, but everytime a Corvette or M3 passes me I always think "Damn I wish I had my ISF right now."

The only thing I did not like about it, is it was SUPER expensive to maintain. It takes 2 more quarts of oil than the biggest 5.7L Tundra. its crazy. Just the rotors alone were over $1000. And gas? Yeah premium of course, and be ready to put $60 in every 3 days.

Pretty similar to my thoughts about it. Nothing will ever beat having a 6 speed. Pushing in the clutch to start the car and rowing through your own gears can't be replaced. The 8 speed tranny on the ISF is nice and has quick shifts but will never be as fun as the 6 speed right now.

Thought about the m3 but the reliability of lexus is unbeatable. I've read that the gas mileage is pretty decent on it for 5.0L?

Have fun with the new infiniti.

Not bad! I've been debating if I want to add them.. They look pretty good.

OMG that Blue has such a high contrast to the subdued color of the graphite gray.

Would a brunt copper look better?
