Not sure why that would crack you up. Not everybody gets a boner for the type of modding that you like. Personally, I think some cars are modded to the point that they are tacky. But hey, we're all different and there's really nothing wrong with leaving your car bone stock, modding it to an extreme, or anywhere in between....
Sure, not everyone likes the same thing..., but even when they're bad their interesting at least and worth commenting on or even multiple looks.
I understand new owner excitment.. I was there. It's hillarious though, I mean "Hey here's my G37S, isn't it nice..." we'll ya, kinda strange how it looks surpising just like the ones I've seen at the dealership when I go for service..lol.
Lets be real, there's more value and entertainment in a bad mod post. It's human nature to want to see something new. I may be funny that way... I don't watch the same movie twice in a row either.

This reminds me of a tale where there was a party for all new cars. The 350Z came in like a cheerleader shouting, “Hey everybody, look at me.” A little later the G35 coupe came in quietly through a side door. In a few minutes everybody turned around and said, “Who IS that?”
In other words if you like flashy then the G37 is not for you. The G was designed to be a bit more subtle and have some class, and IMO over-modding it will detract from that and make things worse. Putting a body kit on it is like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Don't get this guy started...He modified his car so he can feel good about himself when 16 year old kids scream out "Nice Skyline" at restaurants...and then he feel embarrassed as to how awesome his non stock G37 is...that he modified for show, not go, but yet has "performance" mods on it...along with heavy *** wheels and 200lbs of stereo equipment...
You know I never said anything bad about your car... just that it's stock.. why does that seem to bother you???

Not quite, modding the G is like giving the Mona Lisa a push up bra and daisy dukes. One I'd let cook dinner, the other I'd do...

I guess it depends where you're from. I'm not sure how many looks I get since I never really actively try to see if people are looking at my car haha. But during the 2.5 years of ownership, I've only had about 5 people come up to me directly and talk to me about my car.
Stick a hot chick in it, then you'll get looks

Oh I get it, you are implying that since my car is stock it looks like every other G37 on the road. How clever...But alas, it does not bother me in the least. Maybe I should just do a drop on my car and throw Volk GT30s on it so I can be like you?...Because, you know, a drop and Volks...that's original. If you are trying to be unique and different with your car, you are failing at it. You have the same look and stance as every other G37, yours just happens to be red. Congratulations.

Everyones opinion is different. Stock G's look nice but I prefer mine modified and unique.

Let's not go off topic. The thread is about sibling rivalry is it not and modding for show?
To the OP, you may have really got the wrong car if the intention is for show. I can understand sibling rivalry but at the end of the day you should only change what you would be happy with. There are tons of pics in the pic share, see what you would be comfortable with and eye catching for you if that's the main thing based on suggestions from the experienced modders. That's my additional 2 cents.

Lol I didn't get offended, I was just saying, if he's trying to be unique with his car, doing the same thing other people have done is not the way to go. No different than me deciding to stay stock, and comparing my car to another stock G37. I got my car as a daily driver, if I want to ride around in something louder, lower, faster, and more uncomfortable, I definitely have my pick. That is all.

There's pros and cons to a modified car:
Pro: everyone knows it's your car :-)
Con: everyone knows it's your car :-/
It just comes down to what you like and your means to do the modifications.
If your looking a show car the G can be tastefully modified, but pure performance modification, there are other cars that will beat it.

We'd love to have you, granted you might not be unique in the world, but odds are.. you won't run into another identical G in your area anywhere near as frequently as you do now... and besides what really matters is that it would be YOUR G37 without a doubt.
Even if you did manage to clone mine.. I keep 6 flavor's of Smooth Cologne air freshener... Mine would smell different I assure you!
