Really never thought I'd own a red car

2010 G37x Sedan with 40K
Premium + Nav

I'm the second owner. First owner was a small, single female, so the seats look brand new. Actually, the whole interior looks brand new. Carfax bumped the value of this car almost $1,100 based on it's history (if you believe in Carfax).

Red...is growing on me. That was my only issue with the car, as it is immaculate and optioned exactly as I wanted.

Mods...a few probably, later on. Can't see messing with the powertrain or dropping it (though who really knows what might happen after I pass 100K). It's a DD and a family trip car, so sacrificing ride quality isn't really an option. Not much of a chrome guy, though, so I'm thinking most, if not all, of the chrome will turn black or gun metal at some point. I'm also feeling Forgestar F14s pretty strong, too. Something with an offset that will push things out toward flush.

Anyhow, typical newb crappy iPhone pics...

welcome, and red G sedans are very sexy so you made a good choice ... especially if you get some Forgestars like your planning on, they will really look good on the red

Nice choice! red was an issue for me as well i thought it might be a little too feminine, also the previous owner was a woman but with a few powder coats of black on my grill, emblems and stock rims def more masculine welcome to the forum

Red used to be my least favorite color for this car, until I saw one person. It looks good!

My only drawback was the attention I'd attract from the cops.
