New to the forums!

Hey all,Purchased my 2013 G37x sedan back in November after my frs was totaled. Was able to get a pretty good deal with decently low mileage so had to get it! So far i have loved every moment of owning it and can not wait to begin doing some mods. Only thing i was a bit upset about the few scratches the car has but it isn't so much of a problem, most seem easily repairable. The lack of an aux input or bt streaming sucked as well, Grom BT3 works wonders!
Only mods i have planned for the next couple months are interior/exterior trim vinyl wrap, stillen intake and window tint. Really looking forward to wrapping the trim, will be my first time but I think these pieces will be perfect for me to practice on. Any tips and advice would really help and be appreciated!

Yup! I have seen it but thanks again. You made it so simple I can't wait to begin this little project. As I have seen many good/great reviews but some bad about VViVid vinyl i am ordering some sample colors along with enough to do the interior trim so I can see the quality myself and work with it before I pull the trigger on some gloss black for all the chrome. What do you think would be sufficient to cover exterior trim + grill with room for some mistakes?

Welcome. Post some pics! BT does such in these cars, but the power and quality has to be quite a step up from the toybaru.

I'd go to Metro Restyling - Leader in Color Change Wrap Vinyl and order some samples, they have many brands w/ almost unlimited colors, textures, etc.

What happened to spring?!

Without a doubt, definitely a great upgrade. The AWD is amazing as well. Makes it nice actually being able to drive in the snow, especially after the last snow storm we got hit with.

I checked it out, I had already ordered the vinyl trough. So I think I will probably order some samples based on how things go with the black brushed steel from vvivid. Should be here Tuesday excited to get the interior trim done.

Haha that's the best. We're looking at a possible 8-16in on Tuesday-Wednesday. There goes my spring break! Hopefully that will be the last of it. Should have plenty of time to do the interior though so I guess that's not so bad.

I suggest you visit gatorwraps. Professionals there will be able to address all your concerns plus you can request a quote. They have branches and installers located in just about every large city.
