Really? I was hoping it was stock. Should have had it checked out ~_~

Actually a little too low for my liking.

If the shocks are anything other than black, they've likely been replaced. Koni shocks are yellow. I'm not familiar enough with the various coilover assemblies to tell you what brands the colors would correspond to, but you would probably know if they were coilovers.

I don't think so. Search the classifieds for 'IPL Springs'. They're all black.

I don't like Malbec Black at all, never did. In the right light, it looks almost purple. Cars shouldn't be purple. That's just wrong.

Congrats, kroy! The IPL a unique car.

Although back-window-only tint looks really weird on a Coupe. You might want to consider removing or completing it.

Congrats on the new car. But something looks off about the stance on the vehicle,I would check to see if springs are aftermarket make sure they match front and rear almost looks like they put Swift Springs or Nismo springs are red as well. I would also take off all four wheels and check to make sure there's no wheel spacers it looks like they put a 15mm spacer on the back. The bottom line is you would need to put the car on a lift and go through all this suspension components.

Why in the world would you remove the wheels? Just look, man. And if he's dropped, then those OEM rims could use some spacers, otherwise it would look silly. There's no problem with the car having spacers.

I honestly can't tell from those two photos, but it does look dropped and spaced... which is a win for kroy.

Because it looks like he's got spacers on the rear wheels only. The stance to me doesn't look like.

Kroy -- told you that you would end up getting an IPL lol

By the way, I've had the R2C black nickel intakes on for about a week (shout out TunerzStore for an excellent deal...) The sound is absolutely intoxicating -- this is one amazing sound V6. Butt dyno says it pulls a little harder down low but nothing too crazy. At cruising conditions they sound 100% stock until you really put your foot into it. I'm coming from a really loud Mustang GT so I didn't want all the noise anymore.

Question -- did you ever get a chance to drive a G37S? Can you compare?

I may find a dealer and do that this weekend. Picture below
