New Socal Owner

Hey everyone hows it going. Names Mike and I just got a new (well sorta) G37 Coupe.

Currently I drive a 2008 VW GTI. Cars a lease and I'm WAY over my miles. My brother owns a 08 G37 5AT Coupe and he was willing to trade cars with me till my lease is up. I have about 11 months left and 6-7k miles that I can drive. He drives about 200 miles a month so he was willing to trade.

It sucks parting out my car but the G is definitely a upgrade. I have a few plans for mods, mainly wheels, suspension (maybe air), and few engine mods (D2C Intake, Greddy TI-C exhaust, possible x-pipe).

Hopefully I'll come out to the meets and check out the local scene. I was/am pretty big into the Euro scene. Heres a few pics of the GTI as she last stood.

Mods
APR Stage 2
BSH Full Intake and Competition Catch Can
Custom 3" DP w/ Eurojet 3" Catback
D2 Coilovers
BSH RSB
OEM Led Tail lights
OEM S6 Leds
Votex Lip w/ painted sides and rears
Centric slotted rotors w/ Hawk HPS and Nuespeed SS Lines
18x8.5 et45 VMR V710 powdercoated wrinkle black

Haha, it might have been my car with the iForged and you're probably talking about my friend's car, which is across the street from you and also a PG. (assuming your street is Chaney?)

I remember seeing your car now actually. Say hi next time.
