Build pics in chronological order:


Bringing the G home. Gave her a good wash to see what the paint is like. Not Bad!



First maintenance. Doing the 100k a little early.



Platidip + Plastidip glossifier. Good way to save $200+.

Paint correction!



Fresh coat of sealant and wax



Redoing the calipers in VHT Gold thanks to a DIY on here,

Looking good Slatey, clean and classy!
Do you have camber kits to go w/ the drop?
How many miles when you changed the plugs?

Thanks!
No camber kit yet, I'm letting the ride settle all the way out beforehand. Then I'm going to get my alignment check to assess everything. If it is 2-2.25 degrees I won't bother, more than that I'll consider it.

I went ahead and did the plugs at 80k to prep for tuning to keep knock in check. Tuning is going well so I'm glad I did.

Not sure on the fender to ground distance but the fender to tire clearance is about a centimeter. If I had spacers it would definitely be flush with no tuck.

Now the question is: To test pipe or not to test pipe with new exhaust...

Exhaust is now on. Sounds perfect, and for what I got it for, it's the best sounding exhaust you can get for the G37 lol.
