So after all the waiting, I finally got a solid delivery date for my car.
I ordered the car at the end of March, and was due to arrive, Mid May.
Then the earthquake/tsunami, which delayed it till July.
So my car is due to arrive the week of July 4th.

Anyhow, it's a Moonlight White 2011 G37xS with Prem/Nav/Sport PKG
with, Midnight Black Grill, Decklid Spoiler, Illuminated KickPlate, and Splash Guards.

So here is the deal. I'm satisfied with the stock power output. But I do want to fine tune/cosmetic upgrade a few things.

Here is the list of things I want to do: (Please advise on which company parts work the best with my need)

- Sway Bar (Hotchkis has the AWD version, so i'm pretty set on getting these) ✔

- Suspension (thinking of getting coilovers, mainly due to height adjustment to my liking,
I do not like the slammed look, I'd like it to have about 1.0 - 1.5" wheel gap and flush to my fender, so i'll probably need spacers too)

- Wheels (thinking of the 20" Matte Black Forgestar F14s) ✔

- Gloss Black Roof and Matte Black Rear Valence (Bat's, just need a good place to install them) ✔

- Axel Back Exhaust (Megan Racing) ✔

- Grounding Kit (I'm pretty sure I'm getting Black Betty's) ✔

- Stillen Front Splitter (do they make one to fit the new Sport Bumpers???)

- Tint Window (I have to becareful about this though...
my friend just got a fix it ticket for a 35%, due to the stupid tint law in Michigan)

- Taillight (GTR style Tailight) ✔


Thanks guys in advance

 

nice list. though you wont need spacers if you get the correct offset of forgestars. if you are set on getting an axleback id go with tanabe. as far as the roof, valence, and tails you can contact Blue_Batmobile and he'll set you up with the overlays.

 

aren't tanabe's too loud and kind of expensive?
don't want to anger the neighbors, lol

I was looking at the Megan Axelbacks, cheap and sounds nice

 

tanabes aren't loud, and megans are backordered so you'll have a long wait.

 

I have a 2011 and i had tanabes.. the sound is PERFECT IMO nothing like a true catback... nice list update me when things start coming together +1 for another MW!!!!

 

ohh and yes for an ABE its pretty pricey

 

For your roof overlay and light tinting, the Bat (Blue Batmobile) can probably get you a better deal than most anywhere.

As for exhaust, Tanabe if you're dead-set on an axle-back. I think (?) ARK just came out with a cat-back for the AWD model though, you may want to look into that, as I love the deep growl mine makes.

 

i got an autokits carbon fiber rear diffuser for sale $300 shipped in the classifieds

 

Guys, is there something wrong with the megan racing axel back exhaust?? I personally think the megan sounds better. (never heard in real life) but from all the youtube videos i've watched, i feel like megan sounds better.
I'm not saying tanabe is bad, it's just very expensive for a Axel back

 

I would go with a better exhaust setup myself. Look into Ark or FI. I have the FI and love it, and the Ark just looks sick. Other mods sound good, the F14s are the way to go.

 

I'm not really looking for a full exhaust, (i'm satisfied with the power output already) just want to tune the sound of the exhaust, so i'm looking for an axelback.

ps: what is FI?? lol

 

Fast Intentions. top notch people and great exhaust. If u only want axleback, u really cant go wrong with either Tanabe or Megan. U just have to listen to sound clips of each one and decide. Sounds like U already want the Megan, so just get it! and then post vid clips.

 

yeah, i do want the megan. I just wanted to see if other people could provide some input on other axelbacks. Tanabe was one of them, but I just couldn't justify the price.

well.. megan it is!

 

now... where can i get good pricing on Forgestars

 

I bought my f14s from Element Wheels. They were excellent to deal with and easy to contact by phone. Highly recommended.
