Betty the "Red Widow" Build

As some of you may know I previously had a 2011 Graphite Shadow G37x sedan. After a year and a half of ownership it was unfortunately totaled by my girlfriend on Memorial Day 2015. Scrambling like a coke fiend looking underneath a boulder for a replacement car while dealing with the insurance I stumbled across this beauty. I would like to introduce my 2012 Vibrant Red G37S 6MT sedan! Not only is this the color combo I was originally looking but, but the rarity of this car showing up at my door step, and for the deal I got, there was no way in flaming hell I would let this deal go by me.

Current mods on car:
Vinyl wrap trim
35% window tints all around
Swift Springs
Ace Mesh-7 Wheels 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10 (unsure of offsets)
K&N Typhoon Intakes
Installed my Dash Strobes up in the visors, tucked the wiring and wired up to ignition fuse
JDM Tails

Future Mods:
Autokits Rear Diffuser (Should be here by end of month)
JDM V36 Sedan All black visors (Ordered 6/8)
Retint using 20% 3M
Upgrade all interior lights to LEDs
Sway bar upgrade
Whiteline Endlinks
Re-powder coat previous strut bar mounts
M35 Fender Side Markers
GTR Taillight overlay
CAI (Takeda/ Stillen)
Catback (Not sure yet)
Powder Coating Wheels

Without further ado I present you with Betty.

Betty's looking fine, red is a great Sedan color!
Looking forward to this one.
If you want to paint your tails GTR style this may be of interest

Thank you blnewt. I've considered painting them as you did with yours, but before I commit to paint I might do the overlays in case I don't like the outcome with the JDM tails.

Subbed... even though I can't roll my eyes any further into the back of my head seeing you give your car both a name and a nickname.

Beautiful Sedan, Pedro. Plenty of mod options for the 6MT that don't apply otherwise. (CSC, diff gears, shifter, clutch pedal, etc.)

Looking forward to seeing it this August.

This one is lowered on swifts so the handling is a bit better. I'm still trying to get used to the back kicking out a bit when turning at high speeds, so overall I'm beyond satisfied with the car. She knows better.. Lol

I was waiting for you to say something about that.. Lol thank you sir, definitely looking into the options I now have available. Slowly but surely, definitely will have something's done prior to August. Have to put the dates in soon, to make sure I'm off that weekend.
