Red face So its been a while since my last mod... lay it on me!

Okay, so interior, exterior, motor, anything, whatever it is. Anything, lay some options on me. Let me tell you what ive done so far:

int: chrome trim redone, custom steering wheel, floor LED's

ext: not much, just side mounted plate which i might middle mount again, ebay spoiler, keeping it clean and planning to correct the paint.

motor/etc: fortunes, tuned, intakes, ghetto catch cans (bull knows whats up), catback/HFC

planning to do: another seafoam in the brake booster treatment + premature oil change with seafoam in crank ; valve cover gaskets

lay some options on me, whether its installing a carplay headunit from alibaba, or any other kind of mod that can be done, im running out of ideas and would love to hear some suggestions

A few tasteful Carbon Fiber accents?

ehh the problem is im not a big carbon fiber person (go figure) i dont really like exterior CF mods, if I could, id paint my spoiler black to match the car. I feel like with accents when they arent done right they look so incomplete and dumb. for example: carbon fiber hood or trunk.

I'm not a fan of CF hoods and trunks either. IMO, for CF to blend correctly, it needs to transition near the bottom of the car (such as a diffuser or chin spoiler) or through a different paint color or medium (such as mirror covers).

like i said the only thing I have is CF ebay spoiler, and if I were to get anything else CF, it would probably be fenders, as my driver fender has stress cracks and is also starting to rust lowkey.

my car is black btw so it blends easier

You could do the G35 HR upper manifold mod for your G37. I believe it's the same as buying the M370 from motordyne. Suppose to add a little more torque thorough the midrange. I currently have one on my G and it seems to work pretty well. Hard to tell without a dyno, and also getting tuned soon.

pretty sure this deletes the pcv system, as the manifold removes the 2 front valves, so i wont be doing this one

also its hella expensive just for a upper manifold

I Got my manifold for $30 off a totaled 2007 g35S and then $50 in parts to make it work. It doesn't delete the PVC system. You just have to re route the hoses and add 2 T fittings to include the MAP sensor and the other hose from the original manifold. It is a fun little project. Here is the link to the page. Doing this will save you a lot of money compared to buying the manifold from motordyne.

i will take a read later thanks. I'm not a big fan of fabricating, but I will see what it has to offer.

Also, yeah, motordynes is just over the wall expensive

I don't see swaybars in your list.

How about some lightweight rotors?

maybe in the near future, i was thinking more the easier route front strut bar.

how does the sway bar set feel? Is it pretty noticeable in daily driving scenarios?

I just recently got a set of powerstop z33's cause I needed the whole 9 yard brake job, i shouldve got SS lines too, but eh. budget

I always recommend aftermarket swaybars as first-mod, because it's relatively inexpensive and simple, with solid gains in handling. Even in everyday driving, there will be less body roll, and you'll be more flat in turns and on-ramps. This means you have more control and can drive faster.

Yes, a FSTB is a much easier mod, and totally DIY, but the gains there are very specific and very minimal. On low-speed, quick turn in, you'll have a little more control over your steering because of the reduced flex to the front end. But really the only way you're going to tell is if you do on/off comparisons same day. Otherwise, it's a look-at-me mod when you pop the hood. And there's nothing wrong with that.

It's relative to the person, so IDK. Should be real easy to research DIY videos.

A shop would probably only charge you for an hour or two on the lift, which is worth it, IMO.
