Question to all who have the Malbec black color - do you enjoy the unique color? I'm looking to get my first coupe soon and torn between a g37s or ipl. At first I thought the Malbec black was too weird of a purple with red interior but after seeing many photos it looks sweet. I read it's the safe choice to pick if no plans on modding.
Although a g37s all black on black looks sweet too. Like a batmobile!
Yes I just came across this thread. The search option on the forum is terrible because I was searching for any IPL threads and this never showed up which is why I started my thread, "calling all IPLs".
City: San Diego, CA - yeah, CARB, it's poop, I know.
Car Club: None - would like to hang with some but not fly a club name on the car
2014 "Q60" (G37) - IPL, 7AT in the Graphite/Dark Grey - 20k miles when purchased
Planned mods under warranty for the next 5 years: Red GTR Push Start button, Meistershaft axle back, Midnight front grill, debadge the "INFINITI" from the trunk, possibly tint the rear 3 windows, rear diff w/lower final(?) - Not trying to push my luck on warranty stuff
After warranty? - Stillen Supercharger, intakes, intake manifold, rebuild/new rods?
It's my DD and graduation gift to myself after a 12 year long struggle to earn my Bachelor of Science in Information Systems. Now going for my MBA but taking a year off first. Been in the car scene for awhile started in SoCalEuro and....well never left.
CarMeats is a new thing in the area, I prefer not to associate not sure if it's because I'm older and want a more exclusive/mature group or just don't like the cop attention.
I do like smaller meets (more exclusive type stuff) with the exception of the massive meets and get togethers in the "Euro" / luxe scene, also open to cruises, or mountain runs + coffee/food. Would like to do video

Plasti dipped my emblems and took off the Infiniti letters. Thinking of cutting out the red part of the IPL emblem, thoughts? Also thinking of plasti dipping the wing, the antenna fin, the side mirrors, the grille and the wheels.
