G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

I would go for show and no go. These cars are quick enough for a 17 year old kid. Maybe look into a lip for the front, drop it a little, throw some spacers on to give a better stance. Call it done.
Very clean car btw, congrats on getting it at only 17.
Nice car! Be careful because with a color and car like that, it is a real attention getter by the cops.
Also Im not trying to be a douche but u should look through the forums on your OWN to see which parts u want to get. No one here knows what u want ur G to look like. Topics like these appear too much. Thats the problem with the younger generation now. Ask and they expect to receive.

Hahah thanks for the honesty! And I was lookin through some of the forums but some use auto terms that I don't know what they mean lol. But I guess I'm just gonna keep my car the way it is now since I dont know what else to do with it. Although I might get another grill
Like others have said, look through the some of the threads here to help you decide which mods you want to get. When I first got my Laser Red coupe I spent some time looking through the pictures in this thread:

I'm also going to be changing my grille, haven't decided which one to get though. Also might get a carbon fiber rear diffuser. I'm not even focusing on performance mods for now, tight budget.

Start with some clear corners, I think the amber ones just look off with the red car. You can also debadge for a cleaner look.
Oh ya also spend some time browsing around the forums, there is tons of great info on the forums filled with helpful members.

Beautiful LR coupe, why would you want to have FI and be low & slow too? Trendy wheel fitment and fast/drivable/reliable don't work except for the visual aspect....

Join a detailing forum like www.autopia.org and learn how to properly maintain your paint. Keep your car super clean and shinny. Costs very little but makes a big difference. Learn to change your own oil and filter. Also, costs very little but is one of the most important things you can do.
Painting your grille is a really cheap mod that looks good, and if you're brave enough and confident in your abilities you can look into painting your headlights as well. Vinyl wrapping your roof or rear valence is a little more expensive, but compared to other mods they're cheap and simple. And don't forget about tint!
The best way to decide what you want is to spend some time in the picture share section looking at modded cars. There is even a thread that is full of just LR cars.
Unfortunatly most body mods/bumpers will cost you close to $600-800 by the time you buy it and have it fitted and painted.
Looking at your car cheap but good mods would be some wheel spacers and some lowering springs would make your car look a lot better for a decent price.
Anyway here are a couple of my buddies with LR coupes
this one belongs to ITNKICN
I think they call this the K2 bumper
Before:

Then he changes to a Kurma bumper. Another nice mod is the Iconic grill you can get them already painted in the vendor classified section on here I think they are a couple hundred bucks and change the look of your car.
After:

Kurma fromt bumper and Greddy side skirts












Here is one other one that was taken on the way down to a car show

+1. Work with performance later when you really know the car and your limits. Look through some member photos if you really have no clue what you want, and see what peaks your interest on other G's. There are threads for everything, just keep looking around and search.

I don't need your stupid and irrelevant reply here. I'm new and it's my first time on the forum and I'm sure that you did just the same when you first started and now you feel all superior and cool. Dont got an answer to my question, then DON'T POST HERE

1)Get a black grill
2) lower it
3) smoke tail lights
4) tint headlights
5) decent body kit (front,rear, side skirts)
And I think that's about all I wanna do to it.
