Mods to make my G37 similar to G37s

I have a 2011 Infiniti g37 sedan. I was wondering what kind of upgrades i could do to make my car better. Any ideas what i could do to make some changes that the G37s made?

The only upgrade that's not too expensive would be paddle shifters. Other S upgrades such as big Akebono brakes, Sport seats, limited slip rear end all cost quite a bit.
You can upgrade your suspension & exhaust to be better than an S but again, depends on your budget. You just need to browse the various folders for ideas, compare various brands and if you're still unclear ask again

I've thought about just slapping the red S onto the G37 badge on the trunk.... But that would mean less room for the TT badge I hope to put on there one day.

You could just buy the non sport lip, it makes the front end a little more sporty without having to buy the sport bumper

I'd recommend a holistic approach to modifying your car.

Start with wheels--18" sport or coupe 19"s if you're on a budget--with summer tires and sway bars would be a significant handling upgrade and help with traction.

Upgrade to more aggressive brake pads and paint the calipers to make them more visually appealing.

As was already mentioned paddle shifters.

Check out some of the vinyl wrapping DIYs--window trim, trunk lip, grille--its a somewhat easy and cheap way to change the appearance of your car.

You can also upgrade your front and rear sway bars to sport sways, or go aftermarket for better-than-sport quality and performance.

It's not practical to add the tighter steering rack, but you can add coilovers to exceed the sport handling. If you're going to upgrade to a big brake kit, I think it would be better to just go aftermarket rather than trying to stick akebonos on there.

I'd suggest replacing the rear diff with LSD one from S line. It's probably the best bang for the buck, it'll run you around $300-400 and you'll gain extra traction. You'll be two wheel drive instead of one.

What is included in that number? Just the labor?

I am assuming that number is based on what you can buy a used pumpkin for on eBay. Labor would have to be added on that number.

Right, the price is for parts only. This upgrade can be done in a driveway, it's fairly simple.

I will be putting on my swift springs on friday! So excited! As for tires and rims they will have to wait. But what i'm interested in now is sway bars. If i shall get some what brand? Should i just get 1 sway bar and put it in the back and set it to soft to contradict the understeer? What do you guys think?
