Bikezilla's 2013 G37xS Coupe Build
Better late than never. Much of this is retroactive but I'll try to capture all my upgrades and Mods with pictures as they are available.
Like most build threads this is an evolving process, and like most of my threads it will be frought with typos and spelling errors. I'll clean as I go but will start with a bulk burst.
I acquired my 2013 G37xS Coupe in October 2015. I bought it from a dealer over 2hrs away, but it was pretty much the only VR I came across while shopping. It turned out to be a great deal as it was better equipped than all the others I had seen and had a better price. It initially came with ~18.5k miles on it. I put A LOT of miles since then as it is my daily driver and my commute is 1hr each way. *shrug* it's a car and I have to pay the bills. Sure I'd like to have kept the mileage down but I just consider it more time to enjoy the car!

** Special Props **
Thanks to the MyG37.com community Especially Brad for all the help and advice on lowering and fitment, and many other things. Thanks to Kenny for the enthusiasam and inspiration, Rochester for the engine bay tips.
Nods and pounds to the Squadd, Kenna, Amanda, Roger, Evil-G-nius, TTV36, Ed, Van, Ben (AKA Goals), Mike_Save6MT, TimCook, Zahy and Kenny (when he's around). There are many others in the extended community.

Pictures of car as I received it in October 2016
The VR Sport watch was a fortunate coincidence.
You've all seen the Sport wheels. These are now my winter hoops.
Okay enough stock photos... On with the Mods

The Build (Mostly Chronological)
************************************************
November 2015
Added Weathertech mats and trunk liner.
November 5 2015
Added 20 KMC Rockstar Auto Rims 20x8 square.
https://www.myg37.com/forums/wheels-...the-fence.html
And red Scuffs rimstrips. (Trust me they hated being there as much as you do and self ejected not long after installation)
Control your scorn, (https://www.myg37.com/forums/newbie-...ml#post3967342)
the look gets better.

Installed Diode Dynamics Tail as Turn modules (DYI)
Simple easy 10 minute installation works perfectly love the change. One of the easiest upgrades I've done.

December 27 2015 added Infiniti Sport Accessory Exhaust
https://www.myg37.com/forums/intake-...installed.html
I really loved the deeper louder but refined note this added. I got exactly the sound and volume I wanted. Felt no need for other exaust tuning (audio wise)
Also added carbon fiber license plate frames.

Painted my BBK (DYI)
I followed tips from several DYIs and removed, painted and replaced my calipers in one very long day. Well worth it. The VHT color has held up quite nicely a year later.
