Just joined the G coupe club!

Hey everybody!

My name is Josh, and I have recently bought a 2008 G37S coupe. It's Platinum Graphite with the stone interior. From the looks of it the previous owner did a couple of things to it including the headlights, tint, smoked tails, K&N drop in filters, and possibly a mild drop from the looks of it. So far I have just done some debadging on the trunk and put in LEDs for the map and license plate lights, but I have more in store for it.

I'm coming into the G family from a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor, and a 2005 Evo VIII prior to that. I missed the power of the Evo, but also wanted the luxury of the Benz. The G37 seemed to be a good balance between the two, and the looks are gorgeous!

Anyway, just stopping by to say "hi" and introduce myself. I have been lurking on the forums for several months now while I have reading up on these cars, so hopefully I won't have many noob questions.

Also, what good is an intro thread without pics!

Great looking car, I own her twin sister. You have had some nice rides, but I'm sure you will find the G a satisfying replacement. I haven't done much to my car, other than FI R HFC's on the performance side. The car is a great cruiser and likes to let it all hang out when you want to explore some curvy back roads.

Thanks! I'm impressed with it so far. It rides and handles well. Performance wise I'm not looking to do much more than intake, exhaust, and maybe a tune to wake it up a bit more.

Here's a few pics of my previous cars:

That Evo is beautiful. Welcome to the G family. Owned a 350Z and a G35 prior to my 08 G37S. Great cars.

Completely off topic but does anyone know where I can find the My Garage area I'm looking for the list of mods that I did to my car and future mods I wanted to do. Just can't seem to find it on the site anywhere. I'm still a noob with this site.

Welcome to the forum...Your G looks great. Make sure you start a build thread when you get the mod bug...Have you named your G yet ?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm still on the fence about doing a build page, as I don't think I'll do a whole lot to her -- at least no where near what I did with the Evo. That may change though, as I have always had a hard time keeping anything stock.

I did a couple of small aesthetic mods this morning during some down time at work... I like the look of the clear lenses and the red button.







I'll also be picking up an R2C intake, OEM spoiler, and Beluga/Manzo/M2/Tanabe knockoff axle back when I get paid tomorrow.
