New to me G37S sedan owner here in Florida

Hi all.. Long time lurker here. Finally decided to get a G37S over an Audi S4. My reasons were purely based on practicality in general. Got this car, '13 G37S 7spd auto RWD with 37.4k miles back in April for $21k. It was a great deal - car has some minor cosmetic issues but it's solid so I had to jump on it. Since then I've done the following:

Interior
-GTR dome lens
-Interior LED lights (generic)
-Samsung LED reverse lights (fantastic)
-Carsmo *****

Suspension
-Tein Basis coilovers (thanks Kyle @ ImportpartsPro)
-SPC front and rear camber kit with toe bolts (thanks Kyle again)

Performance
-Invidia Q300 w/ Polished tips (thanks to Kyle yet again!!)

Wheels/tires
-Rohana RF2 20x9, 20x10
-Hankook V12 245/35, 285/30
These were ordered almost as soon as I got the car. Jason at GetYourWheels is taking care of the order. The wheels are currently getting a custom finish.

Brakes
-OEM Akebono
-Refinishing coming soon
-upgraded rotors coming soon
-Centric Posi-quiets coming soon

This car is my daily and I'm just going to work and taking my boy to school.. Not gonna be a show car by any means. The only other plans I have for the car is possibly a 12" sub in the back, OEM front chin spoiler, modded headlights with clear lens, and *maybe* a full respray in a few years.

Here's a pic from today after the coilovers and exhaust were installed. I will try to get more pics in a little while. She needs a bath.

Thx norcal.. I need to thank main_shobby for the Basis settings he shared in a thread. It was the stance I wanted and it was a great starting point. I may adjust a little more but will have to wait and see when the wheels arrive.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the beautiful G sedan that you got yourself there! Love the intro as well as all the current and future mod work that you've done and have planned.

Kyle at ImportPartsPro is a great guy and a superb vendor here on the forum so it's good to see he took care of you! Can't wait to see more updated pictures once you get those awesome wheels installed!

You started off with a nice looking G. Now, it looks great. With that drop, those wheels really make a statement. What are the offsets?


Oh yeah....welcome!!! Lol
