Nope, not me... my Vert info is relatively weak. But I'm sure if you start hanging out in the Vert subforum, you'll find your answers. It's a tighter group than general membership.

Here's a walkaround video of how it looks so far. Fog lights in the front, waiting for some custom brackets to come in and some Vossen HF1 gloss silver 20" wheels to come in still, then after that I think I may be done with exterior mods... ... maybe... ... who knows! .. .... lol

The Borla S-Type catback exhaust I bought turned out Borla does NOT make one that fits a vert. It required some welding to make it fit, costed extra (not much), but they made it work. Sounds good when it needs to behave, sounds loud and bad *** when I need to turn some heads... ... lol ... .I love it, happy with it!

Don't waste your money OP. You'll need a real tune.

That's about right. If you have access to a reputable tuner shop, go for it. Street tuning is for when the dyno tune isn't practical, or when you really got the DIY bug for the fun of it. Seems two of the biggest names for remote tunes are Moncef and Seb.
Good luck.
Oh hey, I found this old video of my then 12 year old kid (she's 20 now), while I had my friend's car at home. Look familiar?

Bought the Smart top off mod kit. Will be installed this weekend. Excited. Hopefully it doesn't screw-up other electrical things in the car! ... ... lol

I'd hope I'll get a boost in efficiency and performance, have those two mods (cold air intake & Borla catback) work at their optimal level. I'm done with mods, won't do anything else to the engine! Hoping to get some extra HP out of it, too obviously!

Enjoy man should bring some extra ponies and more throttle response. Glad your done with mods....till your not.

Get this... ... first time ever I put some exhaust pipes and cold air intake in any of my cars, just to give you an idea, how much of NOT a car guy I am, but this G37 is starting to look unique.
For the money I'm putting in upgrading and highly modifying the sound system, I could have bought a Twin Turbo charger.. ... lol.. .. wish I was joking! Just in the trunk alone, in that little space left beneath the top roof folded in the trunk and the spare tire (which is NOT there), I figured out a way to put not one, not two, but three shallow mounted 12" subwoofer. I'll post pictures once I'm all done!

The amp on the top is an Arc Audio 2500 Watts that will power up the three shallow mounted 12" subwoofers in the custom box. The smaller amp on the bottom right is also an Arc Audio amp that will power up the two 6x9 mid-bass speakers. I took off the Bose stock ones in there and put some "Unity" 6x9's instead. The amp on the bottom left is a 6 channel speaker (100 Watts RMS per channel) which will power up the component set-up 3 way (tweeter, mids & woofer). Each speaker will get 100 watts RMS individually (100 Watts left and 100 Watts right), even the small tweeters. Should sound loud, but clean and crisp.
Excited, and hopefully gets all done today!
