New G37x Owner in Michigan

Hello, all!
Just got myself a red 2010 G37x Coupe. I went to the dealer with the intention of buying a red 2009 370z and chose to test drive the G37x just so I didn't seem too interested in the 370z. To my surprise, I realized the G37x was the car I wanted to drive away with; it had all the small features I wish I had on my previous car (2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback) that I ended up trading in. I had to come to terms with the fact that the G37x was automatic, while the 370z had a manual transmission. I wanted a flashy, fast car with a stick; instead, I drove away with a beautiful machine I could live with for 5+ years (automatic transmission and all). I am pleased to be joining you all today.

How are all your vehicles treating you? Are there any issues (however insignificant) I should anticipate? I am a bit of a modder; I don't plan on putting too much time and money into improvements as I think this car is near perfect and I don't want to introduce problems/inconveniences into my driving experience. That being said, are there any mods you would suggest as essential?

I would suggest a drop to minimize wheel gap as the first mod. That will really set it off.
Tanabe springs provide a mild drop. Coilovers will give you a more quality drop and better handling.
Otherwise it just depends on what you are looking to achieve.

Welcome to the forums
First off, congrats on your purchase! In terms of a drop, be prepared to get a good jarring from Mi's sucky roads. I've lived there up from birth until 2010, and based upon the few bumps I encounter here in VA, there's no way I could deal with MI's bumps. If that's your thing, go right ahead! Enjoy!
