First coupe mod suggestions.

Need some ideas of what I should first do to my coupe. I just purchased an 08 G37 sport so everything is currently stock (other than a built in intake). I want to first start building the exterior. What do you guys suggest? Get a new bumper or just get a splitter for the current one? Side skirts? Back bumper? Etc.

Please include names and links if possible of car parts you suggest.

OP said that he wanted to modify the exterior.. Depending on your budget, there are a few things you can/should do.

If you have the bumper I think you do, then I would get a lip instead of a splitter. IMO, the ones for this bumper give a nice, aggressive look, and don't look too cheesy. I would do this first. Makes a huge difference in appearance for not too much $$

I would then also opt to get some side splitters as you have mentioned. You could get $500 real carbon fiber ones or ~$250 ones like I did. Not many people have done this and looks great. Makes a bigger and better difference than the $500 IPL side skirts.

From there on, I would then either lower the car or get an exhaust. For me, an exhaust, even if only an axle-back makes probably the biggest difference in the driving experience.

Thanks for actually reading the description haha. Yeah I definitely want to either get a splitter or a lip for the bumper I have right now. The side skirt is also something I have in mind right now just need to find the right one which is why I'm asking for suggestions. Can I see some pictures of your G to get an idea of how mine might look.

Well if you're talking about the actual body of your car the first thing I would do is get rid of that fruity looking chrome spoiler for the ipl/aero spoiler and debadge the rear leaving only the mount fuji emblem
