My 2008 G37S / Introduction

Greetings everyone! Just purchased my first sports car. After months and months of research and looking around and test driving, I ended up signing on a 2008 G37S with 43,000 miles on it. I've always loved the G35/37 and have wanted one for many, many years.

The first G I test drove was a 2011 IPL with red leather seats, and my jaw dropped. I had never heard of the IPL line until I saw that car a few weeks ago, and would have taken that one if it weren't priced at $32k.

Previous to the G37, I owned two Jeep Grand Cherokees. One 1997 model and more recently a 2002 Sport. I was an avid user of jeepforum.com. So, naturally the first thing I thought of after buying the car was, "I need to join an Infiniti forum." So here I am!

Here's some pictures I took today-

          Welcome to the G37 club! I love this car! I got my 2008 ivory pearl journey coupe last year, since then I have put the entire IPL body kit on it, 19 inch black rims, lowered it, and my foglights go in next week.

          Awesome! Was it a genuine IPL body kit? I'd like to see how yours looks.

          What type of fogs?

          Great intro and welcome! It's great to get an 09 with such low miles too.

          Even lower miles since it's an 08
          Congrats on your new ride and moved it here for a proper intro.

          Welcome to the site Morgan!
          Dang- you're right! Wonder if it was owned by a sporty grandma for her weekly church run or something?

          I appreciate it! I've only seen a few small scratches on it..
          The carfax said there were two owners, but it was registered in Canada and might have been the same person.

          That is a possibility, it was purchased in Florida. Haha!
