New G37 and I want ideas

So I recently picked my G37 around 2 months ago, and I'm in love! I got a white sedan that is 2013 but wasn't bought by the previous owner until July of 2014. So when I got it, I got it with 4,800 miles for 30,000 with tax and licensing. Now here comes what I've done, and suggestions for the future.

So Far I have:
Angel Hall Fog lights
Full interior light and Reverse swap to LEDs
Plastidip Black Grill with chrome mt Fuji
Removed Infiniti lettering on trunk
Plastidip Rear Trunk Spoiler and G37
K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake

My future mods I want to do within the next couple of months are a muffler delete and lowering springs.

Anyone have suggestions or thoughts?

Hmm that plasti dip looks pretty good. I may try it to do a midnight grill of sorts.

My suggestions are tint your windows if you haven't already, kinda need a side shot of the car in there.

Other than that we all need to know what your wanting to get out of the car before we can make good suggestions on mods.

Oh and btw great deal congrats on the buy with that super low mileage!! Yeah. Mine was a 2012 and it only have 11,000 miles on it which I was thrilled with.

I have a 2013 IPL coupe, went to a muffler shop and it only cost me $50. I just kept my tips that came with the OEM exhaust. They just welded some pipes in. Did it for a buddy of mine with a G sedan and tbh it seemed louder than mine. It could be because the IPL tips are resonated I think. Still sounds great!

Welcome to the site Yung, looking good so far. I'd go w/ Tein Basis coilovers over any lowering spring, they're very affordable and you can adjust to the exact height you want. They are built to work together and will have full suspension travel rather than a partially compressed OEM shock. Here's a link to the coilovers, they're only $616 shipped and TH motorsports is a great on site vendor

Welcome to the forums and hell you are off to a good start.

+1 on what blnewt said about coilovers instead of lowering springs. Definitely a better buy and would have more adjustability and better ride instead of just a lowering spring.

Thank you guys for all of your great recommendations, and to those who recommended for me to get coil overs, my goal is to have this thing on bags. So that's why I want lowering springs for now until I have the money for bags. Other than that I am interested in anything for this car, I want it to be fast and look amazing.

Another thing to add, is windows came tinted when i picked this up.

Are there any self tunes, or any performance mods besides for turbocharging or super charging this puppy? I want any suggestions any of you guys can bring.

I am a high school student currently so I can't be spending to much money, but keep the Ideas coming!

Another question that has been bugging, there are two orange lights in the head lights. Obviously one is for turn signals, but what is the other one for? I want everything to be LED so I was wondering if those could be switched and what other lights would need to be switched to LEDs also.

Those orange light can be changed to the LED lights. I think I have the one that has the 7 in one light which is pretty bright. I think there is a 9 in one but I forget.

Were you able to install them yourself? If so how hard was it?

I installed my lowering springs followed by a coilover install, both were pretty easy, but that all depends on how much mechanic experience you've had. If you've done a fair amount of wrench twisting it should be pretty straightforward. Here's a DIY link for BC coilovers, a bit different than the Teins, the Teins use the original front upper shock mounts so you'll have to compress & remove the OEM springs from the shocks so you can use the top mounts. If this is beyond yoru comfort zone maybe a fellow forum member nearby could give you a hand

I installed my coil overs over the weekend, dropped about 2.5 inches, was wondering what spacers everyone recommends since I am on stock wheels for now.

What coilovers did you end up getting?
As far as spacers, H&R, Ichiba, and B2 Autodesigns all are decent options.
Contact Charles @B2 Autodesigns for best deals.
BTW, did you get camber kits, for a 2.5" drop you'll surely need them.
