Your Monaco Leather seats shouldn't be shiny like that. So I think your first cosmetic project would be to purchase some Leatherique Conditioner and Cleaner. Look at some videos on the product, buy it through Amazon or wherever. And get a leather brush.

Mechanically, if you only ever do one mod to the car, then swaybars. And if you plan on doing a bunch of mods to the car, then swaybars are first on your list.

You might also want to put that NYS front plate back where it belongs. That's just an opinion, do what you want, really.

First thing would be a OE 2wd rear swaybar and bushings. Cheap, easy, and makes huge improvement. The OE G filter is tiny. I'd use the v8 truck oil filter.

The leather should have a matte appearance, and soft to the touch. Not shiny and slippery.

I think it looks unnecessarily awkward. Most every side-mounted plate is there because some 20 something kid wants to look different. Consciously or otherwise, a cop is going to notice it, and his eye is going to linger on your car.

Believe me, I do not have an inconspicuous car. But at a glance, it still looks OEM to someone who doesn't know the G.

Give yourself a solid exterior detail and show off that Malbec Black.

Hey, enjoy being 22 with a special car. It's a good feeling.

A 2011 Limited Edition G37xS Sedan is a unique vehicle.

Not to thread jack, but I got my G a few weeks ago also. I noticed the clear coat coming off in a few places. Whats the best recommendation here to fix this?

The one thing I've read is that infiniti/nissan have a very weak clear coat the ways i saw to fix it and benefit in the long run is paint correction and a ceramic coating because it adds another clear-coat with a higher "hardness" level i been looking into it, pricey to get done tho
