First G37x Sedan

What's up guys! My name is Alfredo, i'm 22 years old and I am new to this forum. I have a 2013 Infiniti G37x Sedan. I traded in my 2008 Honda Civic EX-L Coupe. I am still a member on 8thcivic.com but will be putting more focus on this forum since I have an Infiniti and no longer have the Honda. I leased it for an awesome price plus got a few g's back from the Honda since I had equity in it. Not sure if I am going to buy it out at the end of my lease but it is highly possibly since this is my favorite car. I don't intend to put much into the car since it is a lease but I am definitely getting tints (Hate driving in a fish bowl). I also want to get the Midnight Black Grille and Rear Deck Spoiler but depending on how much i get them for determines if i am willing to pay the price given. Other than that, I will be putting in LED license plates bulbs. Glad to be an Infiniti owner. Here is a pic of my car:

Nice to have you here, that's quite an upgrade. There's quite a few guys around here that have done plenty to their leased vehicles. Nice thing about stuff like wheels, intakes, exhausts, is there's always a market for them here in the marketplace. You should look there first, might find something for a great price, get your use out of it then sell them back when you turn it back in. At any rate, have fun in your new G, you'll have a blast!

Thanks man! Its been 7 months since I got the G and I absolutely love it. High performance combined with luxury straight from factory is deff my cup of tea. Since I got it back in Jan. I've installed the Midnight Black Grille, PIAA Ultra White Fog Light bulbs, LED license plate bulbs and just debadged the "G37x" emblem. However, i did have a vinyl shop do my roof in gloss black and I really liked the look but the quality of work was horrible and ended up peeling it off after 2 months of having it. Although, lately i have been experimenting with plasti dip and really like the look of have a matte black finish on the rear valence... so with that being said. I am going to a different vinyl shop to get it done. I really want vossen cv4 in matte graphite as well as a little drop to shorten the wheel gap but with all of that costing me big money (like around 3500) is a bit steep. I will post pics soon of my ride so you see it as it stands now.

Yes. I would love to get Vossen CV4 in matte graphite. But since it's a lease I'm don't know if I want to spend 3k plus for wheels/tires/suspension/alignment. I mean yea many ppl have said I can easily sell thos items if I don't keep the car after the lease is up. But, 3k is steep lol

Might keep your eyes open for coupe 19s, they look better on a non-dropped G than 20s, and sometimes as low as $1000 w/ tires, then you won't have to worry about the suspension, especially when the lease is up.

I've seen a few sets that were mint (except for the tire wear), some take them off right away to get different wheels so they'll be like new, just gotta keep looking, ya never know

Blnewt, I'm looking to get coupe sport wheels. I know the fronts at 19x8.5 and rears and 19x9. Can I run that set on my sedan? I have the g37x (Awd).

Correction...im looking to get 19" IPL wheels for my G. But would i need to lower the car because of the gap between the wheel and fender? Honestly, i really dont want to touch the suspension on this car since ive had lots of problems in the past with my honda and told myself never again. Can i run the IPL set up and not lower the car afterwards? Will it look awkward without being lowered?

So i'm going tomorrow to get my rear valence vinyl and i'm not sure what looks better...Gloss Black or Matte Black? Leaning towards the gloss black but i feel the matte black has that OEM look. What you guys think?

Matte FTW, check Rochesters pics, since he's got matte on a white G for a better comparison.
