Yeah I scrape like you wouldn't even imagine lol but I plan on raising the car up a little higher this weekend tires rub like crazy. I just started following your build that thing is beautiful !
If you can adjust your coilovers so your tires are right below the top of the fender arc (referred to as "zero-gap") that should be much better for daily drives. Mine is at zero gap which is 26.25" to the upper fender arcs and have found that to be ideal for a good low look without having to crawl over everything and have to hear those terrifying scrapes, or worse.

Thanks for the advice as always ! I am definitely going to give this go Sunday morning !
Ok, hello everyone. If I'm in the wrong forum, my apologies! Please direct me to the correct place. In short, I'm looking for advice. I first leased a 2011 G37 sedan journey rear wheel drive. Black exterior, black leather, chrome/silver trim. After the release of the Q50 in 2014 I traded it in an leased one of the last 2013 G37's in the summer of 2014. Same model/specs/color. So it's two years old with only 13-14k miles on it. I live in a condo and work in an office tower, both with parking garages, so the car has never spent more than a day or outside of a garage. This one even came with plastic carpet covers which I didn't like...asked the dealer to take them out and since were already installed they just threw them in for free. No wrecks, scratches or dents. No aftermarket mods. Nothing. I mean, it's under factory warranty for another 11 months. Anyways, take it into the dealership last week...of course I test drive the 2016 Q50 Red 400HP sedan while waiting. Nice. Dealer offers about $6k less than the lease buy out value for a trade into a new Q50. Yeah, nope. I know it's one a handful of 2013's with the 3.7L 328HP engine that could be upgraded with a Stillen supercharger plus a few other tweaks and turn it into a 500+ HP sedan sleeper for about $7-8K... If I have to, will do that myself...but not about to hand it to the dealer so they can flip it for $7-10k. Thoughts on what it's worth now as-is? After (whatever) modifications suggested? Thanks.
I found a temporary lip while I save up for a oem sport chin spoiler. Pretty pleased the way it came out. For those interested it's a 06-07 sti S204 lip. I had to cut about 3 inches off both ends to get it to properly fit. Best of all it only cost $45 shipped.
If I weren't lowered, and had to live with the driveway apron from Hell... me too. $50 is nothing, and if it actually looks/fits great, all the better.

Welcome to the site, and it's hard to tell what your G is truly worth as it depends on the area you live. I'd check edmunds.com and post all your info and see what it says. I'm just guessing, but w/ that low mileage and the warranty probably somewhere in the $23k range give or take.
