New on the forum. From Monterrey, México

Just want to introduce my self properly. It's being a bit long since i was in volved with forums. Sorry if i do not up load pics well.

Brought a (almost a year ago) new '12 G37 Prem w Nav 7AT White and black

Of course Looking to learn about this nice platform. In order to keep on with mods. Generally speaking always like the OEM and OEM plus look
This si my second Nissan ('02 sentra Spev-V red).
Then after i went to the euro side (except for a nice SI):, '03 Renault Clio, 05 jetta sport Line silver (1.8 T 20v K03), 06 jetta 2.0, '07 civic SI sedan white, '09 Golf GTi white (love it, stolen), '11 Seat León Cupra grey 2.0 T 4 piston front brakes and recaros

I'm quite a VAG fan. And last year decide to leave the pocket rockets and change to a sport sedan. vW does not have now what i like, Prem germans are expensive (taxes, insurance and mantenance), and always whant a RWD.
So i am really enjoying the G

Except because in México we do not have X, nor S sedans. (All 7 AT) Only 2 trims available.
Course i would pick the S manual if possible
S package Only available on sedan (solé trim) but AT as well. Its a petty Nissan decide not to bring the manual tranny here.

Welcome. Did you consider driving up to a dealership in the US to buy? There's one in Edinburg that's only about 3 hours drive from you. Is it difficult to buy in the US and have it registered in Mexico?

For the time being i wraped grille in black gloss vinil, except for logo. Roof in black metalic and a small trim in rear fender sorounding exhaust tips.

Change most of regular light to Leds. Interior, reverse, license plate, and the small ones in the headlights.

Plus oem rear decklid spoiler

These pics are from my last trip to Yucatán and Riviera maya. Enjoyed very much driving from Monterrey to Cancún

Thanks. Actually brought there the accesories.
Or u mean buy the car in Texas instead of Méx. ?

Btw, Looking to up grade to Sport bumper, oem led DRL
Not sure at all if put the oem front chin spoiler of something else.
Lower ride
Rim change will follow
Would like a break up grade, CAI and some exhaust up grade.

At first stage looked to buy from hearders to back (all) after market Rep. But learned sound sucks

So maybe Only Cat back

Yes. What I meant is that if you purchased the car in the US you could have bought an S sedan with manual transmission. Monterrey to Cancun is quite a long drive!

Not an option. First i "heard" non us residents couldn't Get licence and plates.
But the real thing (and almost actually why i chose Nissan financial services for lease) is the tax comoensation, since brought it under company name

But considering the very low fee's for leasing in the us i could study it for the next car.

Any way i have the "local support" policy.
Infiniti start operations with independent dealers in late 2011, to sell almost the whole cathalog. So Looking to support local dealersships.

With accesories is different, most of the times price is lower in the US, even considering shipping, rate of exchange and door delivery.
Other times guarranty worth local purchase.
