Question What Should I buy for my 2003 G35 Coupe

I am within the next month going to buy a 2003 G35 Coupe. I have been driving a family members for a while and just have to get one of my own. I mean common now who dosent want one. My real reason for writing this is to ask what upgrades and parts should i get? i know i want some for performance, exterior, and interior i just can't decide which ones. Any suggestions?

U know the usual...wheels, drop it, exhaust, intake, etc...or whatever floats your boat. But everything is expensive so beware.

Really how much are you looking to spend though?...when you say you are fine dropping all of your money into the car you can spend more on upgrades then you did for the car.

Get a JWT pop charger for intake.

I just got a tanabe hyper medallion exhaust for my car, it's getting put on this weekend...will let you know how I like it. Expensive though...$1500 with y pipe. As far as sound goes, I like HKS and borla...but HKS is super expensive too. Borla is ~$800 without y pipe. Not sure where you live, but at altitude (like me) you won't get a huge power gain from an exhaust. At sea level you'll pick up maybe 8 to 12 WHP, and almost all the exhausts will get you that. So just get what you think sounds good. Make sure you get a true dual, though. Check youtube for video clips and such.

I'd also recommend a clutch and flywheel combo if your car is a manual. I've got the JWT combo on mine and I love it.

After that, I'd look at suspension options. I got coilovers for mine, but you'd probably be happy with a spring / shock combo.

the first thing you should do is buy a ALARM cuz the stock alarm is really bad.

I would start with intake and exhaust. I love my AEM intake and Greddy exhaust. Then wheels, tint or exterior mods if you want any. The test pipes are good but make sure to get some with resonators or go with high flow cats if you are planning on going that way so it doesn't mess up the tone of your exhaust.
