Hey my name is Dima, and I attend school at Binghamton, Upstate new york. I am highly considering a g37 as my first car. while i know a bunch about cars, in general (my father was a mechanic), I dont know much about modding cars. Before i decide on a g37, are there awd options, because my school gets snow pretty much all year. im also gonna end up leasing, what kinda mods can i get away with on a lease

 

you're pretty much out of luck as of now if you get the AWD drive of the g37... mods are hard to come by since it's new and there aren't too many of them...

if you have snow, get the AWD version if you're planning to drive it all year long...

what are you studying btw?

 

Yes with the 09's you can get AWD, however you'll have to sacrifice the sports package though as far as I remember..

 

Those which you can remove when your lease is over.. I don't think they care as long as it comes back stock to them... So Intakes, Exhaust, Coils, Wheels etc..

Just make sure you keep your OEM parts..

 

you can leave the parts on when you return the lease.. but that'd just be stupid... since you can sell those parts and the car back to OEM, while getting back some of the money you spent on the parts

 

Im going pre-health, so every semester now and forever will consist of chem and bio, unfortunately. I don't know if I will come back next semester, and I live in Brooklyn, NY away from school, and snow isnt terrible there. Up here, I would drive moderately, pretty much only to walmart, and the frat house im planning on joining, in which someone has a pretty hooked up g37

 

like the thread says, im a complete noob, and what are OEM parts? Whats the difference between those and aftermarket parts?

 

haha so you weren't joking eh?

OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer.. basically the parts that come on your car from the manufacturer aka stock parts

aftermarket are ones you buy well, after market.. non stock lol for example you want a louder car.. you'll replace your factory exhaust with after market ones like Stillen, Fast Intentions, Borla.. etc.. lots of companies out there making after market products to keep us happy.. people on here usually mention what after market parts they have in their signatures..

now scroll up to the beginning of the screen, you'll see a Search Button.. this should become your best friend for a while.. type in exhaust for example and read hundreds of threads.. then type in intakes for example etc.. the more you read, the more you learn trust me.. or just buy yourself a Need for Speed game lol

 

sam don't be so harsh on the new guy! lol... i wasn't aware of what OEM meant... when i was in first grade... haha jk

 

haha thanks. i figured that but i didnt want to assume. also what would you guys say I should do with the first $3k i put into the car. would u recommend performance parts or things such as tints, body kits, etc, or maybe a balance of both?

 

oh come on I'm not being harsh at all.. im just teaching him Modding101

 

tints,drop,intake,test pipes,exhaust.thats what i would do.

 

everyone has his own modding theory.. I tend to balance out.. more like once this once that.. some go hardcore performance some go for looks period.. all depends on what YOU desire..

you'll have to start with changing your springs to lower your ride.. forumly known as GETTING A DROP lol

 

in the same order as his signature too haha

 

I thought OEM was "Only Easy Mods".
