Ok honestly I thought i had it all figured out when purchasing the car but now im at a loss hahaha. What is the first mod to do on my 2011 G37xS?

(sorry if these posts are annoying but I've been researching a ton of stuff and as i pull the trigger i think of something else just want some current opinions Thank you)

First thing you should do it send me your red interior for my black interior lol. First thing I did was tint but that is subjective. All depends what you want out of the car.

Hahaha when i bought it i was nervous about the red but they did a great job with it its not too bright but its also not too dark as goldilocks would say "its just right". I have tints (technically illegal because New York laws but my friends mechanic looked passed it luckily)

A proper two bucket hand wash.
A moderate drop with quality coilovers.
Wheels and tires.
Upgraded swaybars.

I see NY plates, what part of New York you in? I’d head to a local meet/show to get a better visual of some mods and to ask owners questions.

Do you think bags are worth it? this is my daily driver so I wasn't gonna lower it really unless i can adjust freely but i love the lowered look. Also I'm on Long Island need to familiarize myself with the "car scene" out here more and want to check out some exhausts in person before i buy

I personally have bags and think they are great. I started with springs, then a deeper drop set of springs, then coils, and now finally bags. Obviously I could’ve saved a ton of money going air from the beginning. Im in Long Island and we have the same car basically. Shoot me a message and we can get together some time. Next Saturday there’s a little meet in Hicksville I’ll send you the info if you’d like.

Really that's awesome and yea I'll likely save up for bags because as you know Long Island roads are unforgiving hahah and messaging you now

No, just use a blow dryer, don't want too much concentrated heat.

You got yourself a good one with the red seats, congrats!
I agree with the chrome delete. I did it myself and I didn't vinyl, I used plasti-dip instead.

Thank you man, and did you use the gloss coat? or does the matte look just as good?
