Hey guys, thought I would say my hellos, just traded in my last show car that was a Lexus is350 to start on a new project let alone one with better aftermarket. Just knabbed this 2009 g37x coupe with 41k miles for only 16k. Loving it very much!

Going with a Deadpool theme for this car and want to get a nice aggressive growl out of the exhaust. I plan to keep stock air box but throw in a dry filter and some better tubing

Nice intro Pete, any pics of that IS350 you want to share? Look forward to your plans for this one.

Great mileage at a very competitive price! Where are the tail lights on this thing?

Here you guys go this was my last project. Sadly I didn't get any photos of the underglow lighting kit in action nor the interior RGB setup. It's fast for full bolt ons but only got it from 251whp to 285whp. I know I could get far more than that with the g37

As long as you keep that silly sticker off the windshield of your new car, you should be golden.
And underglow? The only good reason for that these days is to commemorate Mr Walker. Just sayin'

Also it's worth mentioning that the G's vh37vhr is mostly maxed out from factory so unless you are planning fi, don't expect any crazy gains. If you are looking for a car that will get a good response from bolt-ons, this is not the vehicle and it might not be too late to look elsewhere.

Otherwise - good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the IS pics, looks like you did a nice job there. Like kiseliok mentioned, the VQs are set up pretty hot out of the box. Adding HFCs, Intake, Catback and a tune may net about 25-30hp give or take, and will often result in losing some lower end pop. But plenty to do to upgrade the overall look
