My first post :)

Hello everyone out there, hope all is well. I purchased a white 2013 G37x coupe back in July of 2015. I am 19 years old and going to school in Charleston, WV. I would like to get a few things done to my car over this upcoming summer and WA shooing some of you could help me out with where I could buy some items.

For starters, I will probably be able to save up close to 4000 fun until end of summer ish and would to have the following done, in this order.
Ark Grip full exhaust, takeda short ram cold air intake, high flow cats, some all weather floor mats that are black, a black grille, and sport coupe rear lip. I am getting my stock rims powder coated here in March when j go home for break and and gonna rock those for prob a year or so until I save up some dough to get good ones. If anyone has any info on to where I can get these things it would be great! I appreciate all feed back and look forward to hearing from everyone! Thank you guys very much and just to clear this up my name was supplied to be "it's a G thing" but I guess it wouldn't fit lol

Chris

Hah well for the year it's a little over a thousand but to be completely honest the car is not in my name. I was unable to get a loan in my name so my father took it out for me and I pay on it. But after I graduate school in 2 years I will transfer the car into my name so I can build my credit up. Wish I could tell you the exact insurance amount but I not 100% sure. Sorry

A thousand a month, 6 months, or a year?

Just be very careful driving it. Easy to let the power or peer pressure get to your head and do stupid things.

Last few times passing through WV I'm usually doing the speed limit, enjoying the sights. However, if slowing down from say 102, or 122 down to 82, then it's an ok ticket

Welcome to the site, great car for being 19 yrs old, congrats on that.
As far as mods, since it doesn't sound like you're in too much of a hurry just keep a close eye on our classified section. Once you get 10 posts and wait a couple days you can post a WTB (Want to Buy) thread over there w/ the item(s) you are looking for, sometimes you can catch it just right and land a bargain.

I will definitely take that into consideration. I appreciate that! And yes! It feels so good. Wish I would've had it while I was in high school though! But I probably wouldn't be here now. Realistically was too immature to handle something like this when I first started driving!

Okay so I need some help guys. I tried to do my very first mod and successfully did half of it. But now I'm stuck. I started to rebadge my car. I think I am going to leave the emblem and the "INFINITI" but I removed my "g37x" letting but I can't get the rest off. I got all the sticker I believe but now I can't get whatever is left off and I have a bad outline. Here are some pics for if anyone can give me some advice. Thank you

Chris

As a non-owner of this G, that imprint actually looks pretty cool lol..nevertheless, try using goo gone and a lot of elbow grease.

That's what I used to take them off and get the actual sticker off but I cannot get this off. Thought about maybe trying not to wax it? Idk what to do. I've been putting on goo gone and scrubbing with a softer rag. Should I just keep trying? Lol
