Smile Eibach Lowering on G37X coupe and other mods.

Hello Everyone,

I am yet to post on here and have been looking at many threads for a good while now. I bought my 13 G37x Coupe in Jan 3nd and now its June 9th. I've seen a lot of good threads being posted a mods list so I decided to post one of my own. I just installed eibach pro kit and hotchkis sway bars. I do not know if I still need a Cuzco or Gt Strut brace so I need your opinion on this. I recently purchased R2C cai and still need to decide on an aftermarket exhaust. Tanabe or Ark full catback. It will mean alot to hear different opinions or other catback systems for my G37x .


I will be posting before and after pics.

Stock but with windows tinted after 3 days of buying it.

20% front windows and 5% rears (Illegal to have any front tints in Michigan) sadly....








Stock with Windows tints 20%front 5%rear <br/><br/>Stock 18's




35% windshield Tint and Smoked Headlights and blacked out rears. Debaged as well.

Purchased KMC Discrict 20's Satin Black and Custom Front Bumper (RLO)





Stock Height After Wheels




RL bumper with KMC Districts

with EIBACH PRO KIT and Hotchkis






Eibach Pro Kit installed (Front View)






Eibach Pro Kit (SideView)







Eibach Pro Kit installed (rear)







20inch KMC Districts

Now I just need to install R2C Intake but not sure what exhaust to get and If I need to gt spec or cuzco brace.

Help is really appreciated. Thanks

To me it seems like you turned a G37 coupe into a Maserati (the front, at least).

Also, out of curiosity, why smoke out headlights? Doesn't that reduce the output of light?

I saw this bumper for sale a while back and it seemed like nobody wanted to take a chance on it. How's the fitment, and where did you buy yours? It definitely looks like a nice refresh if you're sick of the "outplayed" IPL bumper.

It does by a little bit. Just go brighter on them and you will be fine. Barely any difference.

It fits well. It had to be cut by the headlights and properly aligned for it to fit. It was a little tight and I bought mine from KingstonKustoms and had it fitted here in Michigan by A2Customs very professional Service. I did my tints and tires/wheels/eibach/hotchkis with them. Soon to do demon eyes with rgb color changing halos?

I appreciate the murdered out look, but I might add a bit of contrast somewhere so the nice lines of the car aren't lost completely. I think it'd look nice if you removed the tint from the headlights opened them up and blacked them out from the inside but leave the clear lens.

I think that front bumper is a nice look and probably works best blacked out.

Def lose the caliper covers, takes away from the nicer touches you have on the car. Just paint the calipers black until you can upgrade to the BBK.

I wish I could tint nice and dark...in PA any tint is illegal. Have you run into problems having everything blacked out like that?

No not yet. I plan to remove the headlight tints next month after I get my demon eyes with rgb halo and black housing I'll update this later down the line

I guess you haven't had a chance to drive it through snow yet since you added the springs? Was going to buy the same springs....but wondering how it will do in the winter....
