Regarding mods, as of now its bone stock. I have a JP USA/Visage kit being shipped over as we speak in addition to the rear lip spoiler to get rid of the chromie version.

Once that's done the next major thing will be suspension, as much as I would like to have a set of nice coilovers like the HKS HyperMax or the KWv3, I have to think about if I really want then have to modify the suspension further more by adding a camber kit, so as far as Im concerned by the time I get around to do the suspension, sometime in June or July, Swift will hopefully would have come out with their springs, and I can nicely mate those with some aftermarket or IPL shocks. It's a shame that Koni doesn't offer shocks for this platform. Regarding the wheels, I really love the look of the stock 19s and the tires on that car are almost new ( I bought the car with 17,500 miles ) so nothing in the foreseeable future.


As far as engine modifications, when it comes to bolt ons, I've been having a boner for the Ark Performance + Berk HFC combo, so that will be my top of the list of the first things to get done along with that nice CF rear diffuser.


Lots of things, I want just gotta sneak them by the wife without her taking much notice

Would you guys be interested in having a little meet somewhere between Dallas and Houston? I'm willing to drive about 3 hours to get some good pictures.

Edit: I know I'm not in TX, but I am much closer to the Texas guys than I am to the New Orleans guys. If you San Anton guys are willing to drive a little, I'm sure we could get the Houston/Dallas guys to do a little too.

if you come to Houston and give us some notice I'm sure some fellow G's would do a meet and get some good pics here in Houston.

Hey another San Antonio G here! Vibrant Red with chrome sport wheels if you've seen me around.
No mods yet, but looking to start soon, do you install your own parts or did you find any good shops here?

I started modding. Got the JP USA front lip installed, as well as the rear lip which is nicer than the chrome lip.






I'd like to do some wheels and tires, but I will either work on suspension next + hfc + exhaust and will do the wheels last.

I live in SA. I have a OB 08 g37s. Stock right now. I have cf ts hood, cf trunk w/ molded lip, autokitsx cf front splitter, autokitsx cf diffuser V2, and autokitsx cf side skirts being shipped to me. Will be here in a month. Also going to get stock sport rims powdercoated gunmetal. Then I will be ready to meet anywhere in Texas. Been wanting to do a meet up for a while. Just let me know.

Look at all of these G's coming out of the woods.......got some goodies coming through:


Fast Intentions fully polished catback exhaust
Tanabe Sustec Pros S-OC coilovers
Whiteline front and rear sway bars....


No camber kit yet at least until I am ready to get new wheels + tires. Plan to give it a mild drop when I install the coils.
