New owner here! I live in the south bay.

Just bought my g37 08 journey coupe AT last month. So far, I got it tinted, de-badger, removed the front plates and added a front lip from ex ip on eBay. Looking to purchase 19"or 20" rims. Black or gunmetal, intake and a spoiler. So far, I've just been shopping around for the best prices. I got quoted $700+ for the spoiler with labor(beshoff infiniti), $2500-$2700 for 19" or 20" vossen rims, tires and installation(sleek motoring). So what do you guys think about these prices? Where do you guys shop for your car parts? Thanks in advance!

Definitely get different wheels if you're spending that much.

Try to find a used spoiler if you can. Dealer prices suck.

Nah I have a black G37. What color is yours?

You don't need to order rims locally. Order it from a supporting vendor here on the forum, e.g. Lou@amplified or RAVSPEC. They will ship the rims to you.

Order tires from tirerack.com and drop ship them to sleek motoring. Give Sam a call first before doing so. Bring your new rims to Sleek and have them mounted and installed there. Your G coupe can fit 4 OEM rims+tires. Just make sure to protect the interior and roof well with cardboard/plastic etc..

or you can just buy some used wheels from the forum here and have them shipped to you and install them yourself.
