First time posting

I have been lurking around the forum for some time now, but I decided now would be a good time to just dive full into the community. Recently got my 2009 G37s coupe (MT) roughly a year ago at 77,xxx for $15,250.
Located down in SoCal OC area, first car that I actually bought myself. -No more HandMeDowns-

EDIT: Woops, I forgot to ask a question: If I were to get a carbon fiber trunk should I change out my trunk lift supports/trunk struts?

As for my username... it was from when I was in elementary, it's never taken so I always use it.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your G! Show us some photos! And you shouldn't have to change anything installing a CF trunk to my knowledge.

Welcome to the forum!!

You can change them if you wish but you don't have to - You can use the same hardware to work with the CF trunk if it is designed for your car. it's just a bolt on

Apologize for the delay!



Midnight Grill and IPL front bumper both bought straight from the OC Infiniti dealership for a surprisingly good price.



Not sure if you can see it, but this was before I removed a dent on my driver's side quarter panel.



Mudguards // Autokits X V2 Rear Diffuser // Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler.<br/><br/>MudGuards - OC infiniti<br/>Diffuser & roof spoiler - Outcast Garage



Blacked out the headlights added a halo behind the projector shroud; in all honesty I might just replace the halo with individual LEDs.





Windows ceramic tints I think it was 20 all around; it was my first mod and I'm glad it was makes the car 10x cooler w/ a heatshield too.





Plan on getting some IPL side skirts to finish off the look.



Recently added on a carbon fiber trunk paint matched to the car.


Phew there ya go.

EDIT: Also sitting on a 245 front 275 rear setup

I've heard that since the trunk is a little lighter due to the carbon fiber, weaker ones would work better. If anyone has any experience with the fitment please let me know!
