new G + $400 = ?

Hey guys. New to the forums here with my new (used) G. Got myself an 08 G37 Coupe, white exterior (the cream white color, not exactly sure what it's called), with a beige leather interior. Love this thing.

On to my question! I have $400 to spend and looking for something cool to buy. Already have my windows tinted so now I'm on to my next mod. What do you guys think I should do? I did some reaserch and found an R2C Maxxflow intake system for my budget that looks damn nice.

What do you guys think?

Why not ? If he wants springs it fits perfectly. And intakes is basically for the sound, I'd rather cover that ugly wheel gap.

Thank you! So happy that I found something like this. Anyways, as for a drop, not sure because where I live there's a lot of uneven ground and bumps and dips and stuff like that. Plus my son drives the car sometimes and is relentless on bumps and dips.

hey welcome to the forum... The "cream white color" you are refering to for an 08 coupe is called Ivory Pearl...

save up a bit more and get a drop... and do it right the first time... get some coilovers...

I believe there's an eibach pro kit in the classified section for $150. Then you'll have a bunch of cash left over for sways or an intake.

Welcome. $400 isn't much for modding this car because everything is expensive, especially quality stuff worth having on your car. Don't give in to temptation to buy cheap crap to put on your car. $400 will buy a set of lowering springs but you'll also need $ for installation because you don't come across as being inclined to install them yourself. I say save up more money for mods before starting.

If you don't have paddle shifters already, maybe they'd be a good choice for under $300?

Please search rather then posting up a thread and asking. There is ENDLESS information on the forums for you to research this.

Welcome to the forum...we'll let it slide since you're a n00b
