Hi All! I've had my 2009 G37s Coupe for about 3 years now. When I bought it I promised myself that I wouldn't make any modifications, not even window tint, until I could fully pay off the loan. Happily, I am now at that point and so my friend recommended I check out these forums. Just quickly browsing around I'm super stoked about all the knowledge on here!
Anyways, I'm quickly coming up on needing new tires which starts me down the path of: If I'm going to get tires I should get good quality/premium tires, but if I do that I want to put them on nice rims (I really like the Vossen VPS-303). Also, I want to lower the car a little bit, so I should coordinate that with the rims/camber kit. And if I'm lowing it, I should figure out if I want to get any aftermarket bumpers. However, in either case, my front bumper and driver side sideskirt are slightly damaged (the sideskirt was my fault, the front bumper was not). So if I replace those is it worth getting them painted to match the car, or should I just have them and the wrest of the car wrapped in the satin vinyl wrap that I really want to do at some point.
And then to top it off, a couple weeks ago I noticed my clutch slipping when accelerating to get on the freeway/pass people T_T
At this point I usually get overwhelmed, so I thought I'd ask you guys where you think I should start?
No time to help w/ mod suggestions right now but welcome to the site, looks like you're ready to part w/ some cash, there's plenty around here that will help w/ that lol.
Have fun!

Not a bad idea list to start. I'd say fix your issues before starting to add mods.
I like where your head is at for wheels going with forged but in all honesty sooooo many people have that basic 5 spoke style, try a different style to help stand out and show off those nice wheels.
Welcome to the forums, but you're practically a vet with the car now. I suggest opting for nicer wheels and tires first. These are practical mods that can help save your life. As you pointed out, you might also want to replace your clutch since power is useless if it's not transferred properly. Then move onto cosmetic mods like lowering and new bumpers/skirts. I'd suggest vinyl wrap since it's cheaper than paint and you can change the color of the car more often.
Welcome to the forums!!! Seems like you have alot of decisions to make when it comes to different mods and routes you wanna go. I personally have a satin black vinyl wrap and came from a pearl white coupe and not a day goes by where I don't absolutely love it!
