Smile snapped some pics...

finally took some pics yesterday afternoon. didn't want to take pics before because she was bone stock looking... still kinda is. i just had the spoiler put on this past friday... the spoiler definitely gives her a cleaner look.

i know... i know... drop it like its hot... :-)

i am actually trying to be very cautious about dropping her... only because my wife drives her rather often, so i'm concerned about scraping up the bumper (and eventually the exhaust when i upgrade that)

i want to do a very minimal drop, just enough of a drop to even out the gap from the fender to the wheel... any recommendations? i do not plan on swapping out the rims because i have actually grown quite fond of the stockies.

getting my intake next week (went with some short rams i found on ebay)... didn't bother spending on the high end CAIs because i want to go turbo next year (funding permitting obviously)...

well... here are the pics. lemme know what you think!

Looks great!!! The new sport front end looks amazing! The Vert also adds a little something extra.

Very sharp man! As far as a drop goes, if you only want a "slight" drop your best bet would he coilovers, but so far as I know, no one makes them for the vert yet :-(

I'm going with the Eibech Pro Kit for the front two springs, and he OEM G Coupe Sport springs for the rear. This creates a nice even, mild drop all around. Check out this thread for pics of and a write up of this setup:

Also, a few visual mod suggestions..... headlights (180 Custom), debadge, grille.

All in all a very sick looking G man! Welcome to the vert community!!!

was more of a requirement than an option for me. :-) but i think it was part of the S package, every g37s vert i test drove had this bumper on it. the hard part was getting it in 6mt... apparently, most people don't like driving stick int he tri-state area... lazy bums.

When I got my 6MT in February, no dealer in Oklahoma had any and there were only 6 in the whole state of Texas. I ended up getting the exact same car and color combination as you have. It wasn't easy. I heard that only 1 out of every 10 Sports have the stick shift.

yeah... it took time to get this one... i actually wanted it with the stone interior, but it was so hard to find one in stick, that this one was the closest thing to what i wanted... everything else would have been a wait (especially after the crap going on in Japan).

but luckily, one week after making the deal, this one showed up... must have been "in flight" and the dealer snatched it for me.

i'm actually happier with the graphite interior than with the stone... it's just so sexy.
