First Time Infiniti Driver
Hey everyone...
Another nubie here. I'm coming from a 2008 WRX...proud new owner of a 2013 G37x Coupe in Moonlight White (Prem/NAV). This is my first Infiniti and after only a couple of days...I can say it probably won't be my last.
First order of business...tint the windows. Next comes the black grille, larger body-color spoiler, and probably the axle-back sport muffler. I've decided I'm probably NOT going to tinker on the engine with this one like I did my Subie. It seems to have a pretty good tune right from the showroom. Since winter is coming and I live in Michigan...waiting until next year to shop for some wheels.
Anyway...I look forward to hanging around here!
Here's a few pics since that seems to be customary.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
@JJsBusaRox - very nice MW G! Clean, sporty look. I don't think I could get away with quite that low profile of a look here in Michigan with our terrible roads. I'll be getting 19's in the spring, but I'm guessing 20's would be a bit punishing around here.

Thanks Jay. You could do 19's and still rock a nice low profile with the Eibach pro kit which drops the car enough to get rid of that big gap. Plus with 19's you would have a thicker side wall to help with the bad roads. IMO, it just wouldn't look right for you to get nice aftermarket wheels and have a big gap still.

^ From a Sedan perspective, its not 'low' at all. Its just a mild drop, and evens out the height all around. For a coupe it may be different, but I doubt it since its not an aggressive drop to begin with. Worse comes to worse, get coilovers and adjust to your preference.
Side note: Any pics of the Subbie? One of my favorite cars, esp bubble eye and the gen after, STI.

I had the Subie that got no love...the 2008 model. After I was done with it though...I loved it! It was damn fast too. I was pushing 290 ft. lbs torque at the wheels at a nice low 2200 RPM. I still miss it. I still gotta sell those OZ wheels to put some $ in my pocket.

I'm not concerned so much about the look, but more about the ride quality on our crappy Michigan roads. I've seen about 30 cars in here with the Eibach...and I have no issues with the way it sits. It's just not practical on a daily driver with junk roads and harsh winters in my opinion. That's why I was looking for something more mild.
