Hey! My name is Lindsay, I recently got a '12 coupe.

I've only had my car for about three months as of October, but I didnt even wait a week before doing something ha.

The day in July where I traded in my 07 G35 coupe and picked up this Check out that wheel gap...

Within a week of getting the car I had it lowered on Eibach Prokits and had my M45s wheels put on.

Welcome and congrats on some great mods. Your car looks awesome. By any chance, did you get your car from Holman Infiniti? I live at the Jersey Shore and picked up a 2012 Moonlight White G37xS Coupe earlier this year from Holman Infiniti. I did a few minor mods, (rear spoiler, midnight black grille, intake, gun metal powder coated sport rims) but nothing as extensive as yours.

I've leased two G Coupes from Holman and I'm very pleased with them. I got two great deals and they have an excellent service department.

On another note, what kind of bulbs do you have in your parking lights and fogs?

Thank you

Wow viventi your ride is sick! Loving it. I got the chrome spoiler too and it's eating away at me. The oem spoiler costs 479 from OCinfiniti. And then you have to replace the shelf in the back otherwise you have 2 brake lights. Total would be around 800 .

Yeah I love their service dept...I had a G35 coupe before this car but I bought it at Infiniti of Manhattan, always serviced my car at Holman though. I dunno who you talk to when you go in but I always speak to Lou, guy is awesome. And they gave me a pretty good deal for this car and a great price for my trade too.

I have these in both my plate lights and my parking lights.

I have an HID kit from High End Performance in my fogs. 8k, but I'm thinking of getting a set of 4300 or 6k bulbs from the site I mentioned above, I have a store credit with them.

It's ridiculous, I should've just ordered the car with it but oh well... I put an oem spoiler on my G35 coupe after the fact but since I had tinted windows in the back that went over the brake light I just unplugged the brake light that was on the back deck.I would probably do the same with this car if I went that route. I just dont want to lose my backup camera.

I'm going to try to figure out a way to make it work, if you put enough effort into searching you can get it done for a lot less than that.

Let me know what you end up doing. I'm most likely going to buy the oem part from discountinfinitiparts.com. Total is 505. I think if I do that, I'm most likely going to get rid of tht 3rd break light. I just bought an 09 sport from infiniti of manhattan. Did u have a good experience with them?

lol its all good, cant please everyone. personally, I love the M45s wheels. As much as I love them, they're going to become my winter wheels soon

And definitely go see Mike, he does amazing work for a ridiculous price. He knows G's inside and out. Honestly, I haven't let anyone else touch my car besides when I got my exhaust installed lol.

Thanks for the information on the bulbs. For your LEDs for the parking lights, which stage do you have? Do they match the factory HIDS pretty good?

I have the Infiniti pre-paid maintenance plan and I just get the express service. No appointment is needed. I'm in and out in about 30 minutes, it's great. Rebecca usually helps me. Bill W. is my salesman.

Thanks
