I've had a few gutter ***** along with my strikes, so it's kind of a natural progression.
No regrets at this point and have respect for just about anyone that tries to do things that sets their car apart.
Wheels are something that I've learned a lot about since my time starting on G35driver, I have a couple dream sets that I would like to aquire at some point, will it happen, not real likely but something to shoot for.

One thing that I ask for others to consider is don't be too harsh on newer members putting on fugly wheels or trying their hand at plastidip. I know it's not something most of us approve of but it is someone trying to do more than just drive their car, and that is a lot of what makes these forums such a useful place.

As much as I like my front grille, should have it professionally installed...I did it and it doesn't quite line up right (which sucks because it's front & center)

Vinyl wrap on window trim, again really like the look, but I started on the driver side front door... should have started on the passenger rear, to better manage the learning curve.

Regret neither though, just wish I was better at stuff.

No regrets here. Other than the sway bars I've only done cosmetic's. Front lip (two hours ago), rear spoiler, midnight grille, window tint, radio/ac *****, LED lights inside the cabin and on the license plate.

Like anything, the fun is in the chase. Once the mods are done I get used to them and then think what can I do next to scratch the itch.

In any event, my vote is #4... I started in on the car as soon as I bought it (four years ago), and have plans to continue for the next five or six years before moving on. Since I only drive about 5,000 miles per year, I think this is actually a reasonable plan.

Plus, I'm old. So I'm pretty patient about stuff like this. Unless I'm waiting 14 weeks for an exhaust to show up, LOL.
This is the most luxurious car i've ever owned as well. The newest most luxurious car i owned prior to this was a 2003 Altima where you were surrounded by hard plastics. So i've looked at this car as luxurious from day 1 of ownership but i can see where you're coming from.

I also voted #4. I haven't really had my G long enough to have any regrets modding it. Plus i haven't really done much to it yet either.

I plan on keeping this car as a DD for quite awhile so my mod list isn't as long as a lot of others. I have zero plans on doing any mods to the interior which helps keep the list shorter. I really like it just the way it is.

The few other mods i plan on doing i know i won't have any regrets doing. It's getting the wheels (mainly offset and color) right that i might have the possibility of regretting. But i'll be sure and take my time and research it till my finger tips bleed before pulling the trigger....

Seeing this is my first car, it was nice to modify something that wasn't in Forza on my Xbox... I've learned so much since I bought my G back in September. I should get several years out of this thing, and then I'll probably move on to an ISF which should keep me happy with that V8.

I'm not sure which to answer, but I chose "I modded the car, but now I'm done. No regrets."
My situation is different from others since I no longer have my G37xS.

All I can say is that I've had no "regrets" modding it up to the point of returning it back to Infiniti. The only negative about modding is the loss and hassle of returning it back to stock.
The past 3+ yrs of driving the G37xS was a joy and modifications definitely was a part of it.
I'm a researcher. I made sure whatever I did, I found out as much information as possible regarding the mod before I went ahead with it.
Being a member of myG37.com has been a great part of it and I'm greatful for being one of the family.

If it isn't known, my current ride is a leased 2015 Q50S.
My plans are minimal and keeping it as stock as possible...learning from my past experience regarding mods.
The only additions that have made is having my windows tinted with Suntek Carbon 35% Tint and swapping out the interior lighting with Diode Dynamics LED interior Kit.
I'm having the rear valence vinyl wrapped in gloss black on Wednesday and I just purchased the Infiniti Sport Muffler Kit from a member on InfinitiQ50.org.
The next step is to add the Infiniti rear lip spoiler and possibly a roof spoiler...still undecided.

I guess I would never be happy with a "stock" car...well one that I could afford that is.

I've been hit with the mod bug since buying the car but hit me really hard recently and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon lol But the best part is doing most of the modifications myself with a few friends gives me a sense of pride as its owner, even more then when it was just stock.
