Smile Advice for future mods

Hi guys,

This is my first post so bear with me...

I've done some mods to my 2012 G37s (Stillen Gen 3, Eibach pro kit, Ecutek, and fast intentions exhaust *currently waiting for it to be finished) and I am interested to hear some input from other G37 enthusiasts. I'm all ears to both power and aesthetic mods. Unfortunately the power mods have to be CARB approved.

I look forward for your responses,

Jason

I would say you are pretty much maxed out on bolt ons. I would get a tune if not yet done.

If you are really ambitious, HFCs. I think the car sits beautifully as is. In addition, I would do more of a drop (coils), rear deck spoiler, and roof spoiler. That's all you really need aesthetically IMO.

Looks good man. I'd say throw on some RHFC's an upper intake mani, and swap out those rear gears and be done with it.

You should get the tail as turn mod for the rear blinkers. Cost is low and they have a plug and play version.

Sway bars for sure!
Comfort mods like a remote car starter, subs (if you're into that)
Are HFCs an option if you require CARB approval?

I did and HID conversion for my fog lights, but the cheap ebay kit failed twice. Now I'm going with LED bulbs from Diode Dynamics Cool White (6000K) at 1420 lumens.

Visually the trunk spoiler is a must IMO.
Diffuser if you like that look.
Paint your calipers.
get your headlights done maybe?

Very clean ride.

If it were my car id get an OEM spoiler
Possibly a front lip (thise look amazing on the sport bumper)
Maybe paint your calipers if that's something you like. I painted mine blood red with the DIY and I'm extremely happy with the results as well as the feel good pride that comes with doing the work yourself.

If you wanted to do some headlight mods that's a big one. Look around on the site at some other guys lights to see what you prefer or if you'd even consider it.

Most of your bolt on are finished. Unless you wanted Long tube headers or cats.

Good luck. You've gone well so far

I was just talking to my tuner about the gearing and he said I would have to get a differential from a manual 370z with limited slip since it won't fit my car. How did you do yours?

Thank you! and I saw the calipers, you did a great job! I've always wanted to paint mine a dark bronze color but the shops are charging way too much to do it.

also what do people usually do to their headlights?

You need spacers and 245/275 tires ASAP!!! The tires look too tucked in and small.
