And it begins....

Hi all!!
I am kinda new here... I have been ghostin for a while just researching and gathering information. I dont like being that noob that doesnt know ANYTHING!! I use to have a 2005 STI that was built but sold it in Guam. Figured it was time to grow up and get something fancy lol.

So I bought my 2010 G37 X Sedan about 4 months back and have done a few things too it but nothing extravagant such as smoked tailights, debadged... and thats about it so far.

Not too long ago it was caught in a hail storm so it is being repaired so I dont have any pics of it now but I will post some once its done.

I also just ordered the Stillen Gen 3 CAI for it so Im pretty excited about that and also doing a muffler delete. I know it doesnt do anything but make it louder but thats ok. Cant exactly afford an exhaust yet and I think the exhaust tone on these cars are AMAZING!!

Looking forward to learning more and more all the time. So far my research is looking into suspension stuff and doing twin turbos on this beautiful beast down the road.

haha these animations are hillarious

EDIT: Forgot to add after repairs it will be Subaru World Rally Blue with black roof/grill/mirrors/and trunk lip. Also intalliing Seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk.

Keep us posted and welcome to the G club! The previous owner removed the resonators from my car and it sounded beastly (in a good way). Throttle response felt off but my exhaust also looked like it bottom out more than a handful of times so I'm guessing my car was slammed previously and there was some other damage to the exhaust.

Nice that you're trying a unique paint color, always nice to see something different. I'm planning on doing a matte dark blue wrap next year, still ordering different sample shades to decide what will go best w/ my trim, wheels, etc.
Look forward to seeing your G get transformed, have fun along the way

Interested to see how it turns out. I am also a former STi owner (had a 2004) that went to a G sedan.

Welcome and keep us posted!

No way, You actually have seen a G sedan in that color already? hmm that's luck lol. haha I guess the owner of that one also went from an STI to a G then.. in my case next year spring/summer I'm getting a custom full dip job in custom blue like this one here .... unless I change my mind

Well, if he is, then in his defense you did mention a muffler delete, CF hood, and forced induction all in the same post, so...

I'm looking forward to watching this transformation. It will be interesting to see what a fellow '10 x owner does. I saw Stillen is having a week long daily BF sale, maybe you can catch a break on the CAI if you haven't gotten it yet not sure if this link will work...

Thanks but I already got one ordered.... And about the muffler delete I'm not 100% sure as to what I'm going to do exhaust wise right now. I am still doing research.
