I'm now officially "here": Got my G!

I've made a few posts and asked a few questions but tonight I became an "official member" of the G community, I got my G! A few hours ago I came home from the dealer with a 2013 G37S Coupe in Moonlight White w/Stone interior. It has Prem/Nav/Kickplates. As I said, I've only had it a few hours and of the 70 miles I've put on it, 60 was coming home from the dealer. GREAT freeway car, alleviated all my concerns about the Sport model being too firm of a ride, it's perfect!

Anyway, as I said in my other thread, thanks to everyone who offered their help and advice, you guys are awesome! Can't wait to spend even more time here on the forums now that mine is in the garage. Here is the only pic I've got so far, from my iPhone, but I'll get more soon:



Thanks!

Looks great! My buddy got that combination too, I love it! Stone interior on the 2013s is very nice.

^agreed! Although I originally wanted the black interior, I ended up with stone as well and couldn't be happier (0 food policy is a must!). More of a 'classy' touch rather than 'sporty' IMO

Congrats OP

I was leaning towards the Graphite interior as well but my wife pushed me towards the Stone, partially since her 2012 Beetle Turbo (seen in the garage in the background) is white with black interior. Didn't really want two cars with same color scheme. VERY glad I went with the lighter interior except for one thing: the floor mats! Seriously, who puts floor mats that light in a car? I'm ridiculously careful and mine still show dirt after 1 or 2 drives. I already started my search for some darker ones, if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em.

Thanks guys! Got my tint done this past weekend, looks SOOOO much better. I've owned some very nice cars in the past few years and I'm surprised how much I'm loving this G. I know I've only had it a week but it's easily my favorite car ever.

I went with 35% on the fronts and 17% on the back. Had a little snafu with the tint job and they are redoing my fronts, same tint just fixing a less than perfect job. Here's how it looks now...



And here's a little "creative edit"...
