Saying Hi for the first time

How's it going G37 fam...
I'd like to start by wishing everyone a blessed and awesome day and hope that you and your family are doing well during this time.

Little bit about me:
Name's Alex - 33 - Army Vet - Certified Auto Tech (although I haven't worked in a shop in years I mostly use it for my own advantage.)
Coming from a family of Mitsubishi's (GST, Evo 8 MR, Evo 8 GSR). I love the boosted life but in my "older" age I wanted something with a little less drama and more gas mileage.

Originally I was looking for a Sport model but when this car became available I couldn't pass on the price / condition.
That being said, here's my 2011 Liquid Platinum G37 Journey Coupe and some of the work I've done.

What I've done:
Manzo Sport mufflers
Paint matched side mirrors (came black and unpainted)

What I have (uninstalled):
OEM 19" Sport wheels (completely restored and painted)
245/40 Fronts and 275/35's Rear
Factory Rear Splash Guards (I believe that's what they're called)
K&N Intake System (gifted to me)

Wish List:
TEIN Street Basis Z Coilovers w/ Camber Kit - (would someone be able to point me in the right direction for the best prices on these?)
15mm Spacers
DRL Style Headlights
Autokits X Front Lip

I don't plan on chasing dyno numbers or taking it to the track (ever). I really just want a comfortable, reliable every day cruiser that can get up and go.
So far I've been very happy.
Stay blessed!

Thanks man. This is my real first N/A experience. Never driven a performance car that didn't have lag lol. Feels great not to have to wait for power.
