Does anyone else find the sedan horribly plain looking?

This^^^^ There is a whole thread on Sedan photos and some of them look amazing. To an extent I agree with the interior but really Infiniti has a pretty good one overall.

I wish there was a way to thank each and every person who contributed opinions and explanations on the sedan forum. I spent 6 months as a ghost in here just reading and researching on all the various topics regarding our sedans. I got my inspiration for my ride from all participants here. The sedan is no longer a commuter box but a head turner. So thanks.

Yeah after pretty much anything you do to your suspension its recommended to get our cars re aligned nonetheless thanks for the tip.

Time to pay it forward. Start contributing more.

And since he won't say so himself, I accept those thanks on behalf of blnewt, who couldn't be here this evening.

I have no idea if they make Illumina for the G, but I do know I've never run across reference to them here.

Tokico makes great struts/shocks indeed, my brother recommended the brand himself , as he had those on his previous car ( Acura CL-S 6mt) and they were the cheapest choice and he said they were awesome bang for the buck ! speaking of Tokico, not sure which type but I have come across a thread about Koni yellow struts etc and somebody mentioned that they had tokico strut setup aswell so I guess they are out there for our cars aswell

The adjustable Illumina's are well known in the Miata community for being the go to shock for updated suspensions. I've got them on the NA and they're a nice smooth ride.

Lol, thanks John, BTW, got a nice deal on those stereo ***** so they'll be going on next week. Still trying to decide what I want to cover the washi with, I'm thinking a machined dark silver rather than the carbon wrap, I saw another G with it and it was a nice look.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Another thread that looked a bit grim but has turned into a nice discussion, way to keep it real

I have to agree! I haven't been on many car forums but the other forums I'm on are nowhere near as thorough as this one. Thanks to everyone (still especially blnewt and Rochester) the knowledge just keeps on coming!

Oh and Mik3G37S - I'm getting rid of the amber in the fronts, going white and switchback as soon as I can get a dry day over the weekend.

Oh yes please Chris ! finally getting rid of that FUGLY amber in the headlights ... now the blue demon eyes will serve their purpose much better overall with the 5k matched up switchbacks. You're getting 5k or 6k , 5k right right right?

While we are at it, I'm gonna tell you something too Chris.. I'm getting the Invidia Q300 CATBACK !!!!! I'm so excited my first catback exhaust sytem ( any exhaust system at all)

I purchased a 2013 G37X sedan. Nav and Premium. Black on Black. Personally I think the car is classy....good looks, stands out with out standing out. I have seen people in my work parking lot stopping to look at it. I have had the same at redlights. I find the interior to be very plush, elegant, and refined. It is not gaudy. I love the seats and the leather. The instrument panel is well laid out, easy to reach, and simple to use. The performance speaks for itself. The handling is excellent. My personal style is I dont push the car, but I use the power to enter the highway, and to pass. Having that power under the hood for use at any time is another plus. Me? I love this car. Nuff said.

Sounds like Santa is coming early Mike, look forward to your pics
And here's a pic of Soundmikes Invidia w/ the cans painted black for a nice look.






And here's my DIY if you want to give it a try

Totally agree - I couldn't have said it any better.

Yes I guess Santa is coming early haha

This is exactly what I wanted to do because I don't like how the mufflers look underneath the car they are too shine-y but I thought I would first put them on enjoy the sound and just find out for myself, worst case the mufflers can be taken off and painted haha

I was a little disappointed with the Invidia, but I had the darndest time actually finding an exhaust that sounded louder than stock. I barely noticed the invidia.
