Randy's G37 Graphite build thread

Alright so I've decided to create a page to show some of the progress on the G aka Mila I'll start with the day i first bought her july 14th 2013
G37S 7AT 2010 Coupe Graphite Shadow


[IMG][/IMG]

The first step was to drop it. After much research i went ahead and got a set of KWv3 coilovers and why lie, I don't regret it one bit. At this time I also purchased SPC rear camber kit along with H&R 25mm spacers "all around". Before drop and spacers:

Next up was a muffler delete. Currently debating which exhaust to go with lol happy with the sound provided from the muffler delete so far.

CAI Stillen Gen3 was next. Thanks to Diego who gave me a sweet deal and helped me with the install

Next I took the G to Rodspeedinc here in Miami Fl to roll the front fenders, trim liner and shave the bracket in the rear. The only reason i did this was for the new set up to fit with not problems, which ill discuss later.

Last day with stocks

So for a while now i had been wanting to get the IPL/Aero kit like many here in the forum. But the prices were pretty expensive. Two weeks ago I order my front OEM IPL bumper and sides from Outcastgarage for an awesome price.

[IMG][/IMG]

I had to paint the bumper to match my color, mean while i was putting everything together. Fogs lights, Pigtail, LED bulbs from VLEDS etc.

[IMG][/IMG]

Time for some new wheels . Once again i have to thank Diego and Natalie from Vossen for all the help. I went with Vossen CV7s 20x10.5 all around +25 offset with a polished finished. Tires Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 275/30/20 all around.

Install was a pain cause we didn't have the right tools on hand lol

Car looks great, man! Can't wait to see what else you do to it! Are you keeping the sport wheels or do you plan on selling them?

What a nice G you've built. That IPL front along w/ the deep drop and perfect aggressive square setup is stellar This shot deserves an encore~

Man beautiful beautiful look. It's gorgeous. I really like the last stockie pics. I'm still afraid of doing the whole spacer thing, but I like how flush it is.

No problem! You might want to keep them around just in case, but if not, I call dibs. Hahaha What else do you plan on doing?

Strut bar and sway bars might be a good next option. I love my GTSpec strut bar. The car handles much better.
