Not getting any looks

So pretty much when I decided to buy the G37 I thought it looked sick, and I still do. Though it pales in comparison to my brothers car. He has a Nissan 350z with a veilside bodykit (same one from FnF Tokyo Drift), he got 2 grand volk rims, new exhaust, intake, HID's, 9 yards isn't even enough, he got like the whole 18 yards. I feel like my car is a piece of **** compared to his. Whenever we take both of our cars out, no is ever looking at mine lol, they go crazy over his. Even alone just driving, I don't get any looks, but people will roll their windows down to tell him how sick his car is. What can I do to improve the aesthetics of my car? I've seen several body kits, but the changes are so subtle they are almost unnoticeable. I know the car is supposed to be classy, so the less the better, but I actually wanna be able to notice some change. Any ideas?

That's why I dropped my car today, plus adding rims. Add an exhaust if you don't already have one, and get your windows tinted. There's your head-turner.

Leave the wide-body kits to the need for speed series to increase downforce.

Your brother didn't build that in a day.. it's a journey... enjoy the trip. Personally, black on a kit doesn't do it justice.. he needs custom paint IMO.

0. Debadge Infiniti & G37S
1. Tint
2. Wheels - Classy -> Vossen, Sporty -> Volks or whatever you like.
3. lowering
4. Exhaust -- performance -ARK Grip, Sound - Tanabe
5. Zele front & Grille
6. Paint Lights
7. Custom paint

I hate to burst your bubble, but that is one sweet 350z....

...but seriously, think about the money he has put into that car. The kit alone does wonders. A modified car will always get more looks than a stock one straight off the dealers lot. Save up and do some mods. Personally I love my G37 body lines over the 350z. Once you modify a car, it becomes unique and something you don't see every day.

My advice, save up, get some nice wheels, a drop and maybe a kit or some performance parts if thats what youre into. Look around the site and youll get some inspiration for sure.

I think you're in a good position because it doesn't take much to make the G a heAd turner IMO. A nice drop with some aggressive fitting wheels is a great start!
