$100 is a great price for the spoiler! Follow blnewt's DIY install thread when/if you get it.

I went with CarPartsCorner myself. They had the A54 and I was off to the races. Good price. But it seems Vibrant Red is less expensive than the others. I know it's not a 3-step paint like the MW or MB, but also, I think there are fewer VR Gs around and the accessories specifically for them are languishing. Maybe an over production? I really don't know though...

In that case, maybe I'll find an OEM front lip or sport bumper in VR for a reasonable price

I didn't have as much luck with the front lip. I went with Grubbs Infiniti out of Texas. It was very reasonable, so reasonable that I don't remember how much I paid LOL. But I do know there was no tax for me (out of state).

Maybe you've seen it, but it's subtle and hard to spot?

Well, if you don't in the mean time, you will in August if you go to the meet. LOL

Most G37 Sedans I've seen here were driven by soccer moms

I'd love to make it to that meet in August but I'll be deployed by then.

I hear ya. My G is like a magnet for MILFs when I go to Target. LOL. JK.

Of course, I wish you the best on your deployment. (does your G need a foster dad in the mean time?)

Thank you! I'm actually not sure where I'll be keeping my car yet Was thinking about keeping it with my parents back home, but who knows. The storage they offer on base sounds like a bad time. Letting your car just sit out in the sun without being driven for months.

Finally making some progress! Started my Swift spring install. Had to leave my car overnight because the hobby shop closes though. Will finish tomorrow with some more pictures!

Nice progress, going to look sweet when lowered.
That second pic was funny at first, thought there was some short creepy goth dude checking out your G, lol.

Oh hey, that's right... Swift Springs with match your VR Sedan. That's kind of neat.

Wow, those rotors are hunks of rust, eh?

Everyone has pointed out that the springs match my car, haha.

And they are unfortunately. If I upgrade rotors, I'm just gonna go all out though and get the BBK.

And a second set of wheels with PSS since I'll be out of the military by then and actually have room for this stuff.

Swift springs are finally installed! The car drives surprisingly well, feels better than OEM honestly. Gonna give the springs a week to settle and get an alignment on either Friday or Saturday.
