Coupe wheels powdercoated white and Michelin Pilot Super Sports, 245/40-19 and 275/35-19. It was only two miles from Discount Tire to my house so no real driving impression yet though they seem to ride better than the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 on stock wheels. Coupe wheels have better offset than the duckfeet thus are closer to flush.

Color is a White Pearl and turned out quite cold. Didn't know the Infiniti white had a touch of warmth to it.

I agree about this forum being like the rabbit hole for Alice...I never even thought about some of the mods I've seen here but I definitely need to put in significant effort not to scratch the proverbial itch after perusing some of the threads here, lol. Some of the performance mods look amazing, but then I remember I live in a big city and there's next to a zero percent change I can enjoy any of those mods to the fullest driving at 9/10ths anywhere outside of a race track!
lol, a 115k!

When I get off my duff and fire up my PC (idle for nearly two weeks), I'll upload a pic or two. Having to hand-paint extra center caps to match though they're small enough that the O.E. silver doesn't stand out much. Painted caps will leave the Infiniti logo silver while the remainder is white.

Uploaded a photo to my other post.

Modded and installed gtr button. Went with red yellow green, and blue engine. Disappointed in the "yellow" should have just left the stock amber. Soldering was easier than I expected thanks to my new harbor freight iron ($4)and tiny tweezers ($6)
Putting it back in however, was a total pain the first time. I ended up using extra long needle nose pliers from underneath to hold the plug in place while pushing in the button.

Clean G37xS on Avant Garde 19's

So this is the first post of my 2011 G37xS. I didn't want to post any pictures until it was looking proper. I bought it about 4 moths ago with 35,000 miles on it, stock. Through much research on this forum I was able to distill what would be the best set up, so thank you to everyone for their informative posts and pictures.

Wheels: Avant Garde M510 19x9.5 square
Tires: Continental Contact Extreme Sport 255/35/19
Springs: Swift
Sways: Hotchkis, getting installed soon
Tint: 3m 20%
Thule roof rails
Yakima bike rack and wind deflector
Ebay carbon fiber wing

Audio: Focal Expert PS 165F3 3 way components, JL Audio RD 900/5 amp, JL Audio 12" W3V3 subwoofer

I have to agree, putting the button back in is a royal PITA!!

I'd love some more info on the bike rack. Part number's? I'm finally going to have some time to get back into biking and want to find a decent roof rack. Car's looking great, those rims go well with the graphite!

Nice looking G there Jake, how are you liking those new Continentals? Also what offsets are you running on the AGs? looks like a nice fit. Post a review of those tires here when you can, will be very helpful, thanks!~

Nice looking G you've got there, Jake. Really liking those AG wheels on your car.


Can you post up some pics of your Focal 3-way components that you have installed up front? Just curious to see how you installed those. Assuming you used 6-1/2" woofers in place of the OEM 10" drivers?

Hmmm... 7 views in 20 hours. Lower than I was hoping, but still, not a chuckle out of any of you. I can only conclude anyone that watched it, thinks it is a serious video and you're just being nice to not insult it.

Nice one with the gun btw ☝️😀

You should post in the semi-official firearm thread:
