New to the forum

Hello all,

Just purchased a 09 blue slate coupe with just under 40k miles. It has the sport package with tech package. I traded my 06 V6 Accord 6mt in on the deal. All I can say is, why haven't I made the switch sooner! Power is amazing and handling is great.

Any suggestions for my first mods? What mods would make the most noticeable difference as far as performance/handling that won't break the bank. Would upgrading the sways be worthwhile for a coupe that has the sport package?

I already had the most recent updates for the engine and transmission completed. I was worried about the harsh downshifts but those are gone now and she shifts beautifully.

I'm happy to belong to such a knowledgeable group. Been doing lots of reading here and am looking forward to learning as I go. Attached is a pic of the car. Removed the dumb front plate holder the first day.

Thanks!

Welcome and congrats! Tints should be a #1 mod but since you already have those (unless you want darker) then i would suggest debadging and getting a drop.

Welcome. Check the modding section MODDING 411 - MyG37 then the pic share section and see what you like.

Definitely going to debadge to complete the clean look these cars have. Will also check out the Modding 411 section for more ideas. Hopefully will drop it in the near future. Thank you for the warm welcomes.

Welcome to the G community. If you want to go performance exhaust and HFC. Very noticeable gains right away.

Thank you, I love the G more every day I drive it. It's growing on me quickly and I must begin modding soon, lol. Will do sways and debadge first. Will look into a HFC and exhaust next. Thanks to everyone!
