OFFICIAL "What Mods Should I Buy for my Coupe?" Thread
#2161
debadge your fear, or just remove the g35. im personally fully debadged but the infiniti logo itself on the trunk looks real nice as well.
coilovers(your car needs a drop to look decent)
remove the spoiler, i think 06-07 spoilers are ugly compared to first gen g35s(totally your choice though)
sideskirts and bumper would make the car stand out..(impul, nismo, kuruma z)
either black out your grille or get a gialla grille
tint your windows as well all around but leave the 6 inch on windshield
also md 5/16 spacers is a great idea.. but a osiris tune is even better.

Hey guys I have a black 2007 g35 coupe 5AT. I'll have had it for 2 years in January. I just joined on here and have learned more about this car in a week then I have since I've had it lol. So far I've done wheels/tires but don't like the rims anymore and there 19s and I'm going with 20s now. I'm also dropping it aswell soon. Other then that got the tint done, clear corners and injen intake. What do you guys think I should do next? I was thinking a MD 5/16 plenum spacer. I'm not sure what I want to do with the performance as its an automatic, I know it doesn't matter but I kind of want a 6MT cause its getting boring, hence why I want to do more mods to it so I can be fully satisfied with it before I get a different car. Any help would be great, thanks.
definitely get a drop but why not try a nicer set of 19's?

the spacer would be good for you as you are non rev up and would see some decent gains from it. if youre not gonna drop a lot of money into the car, (sounds like youll get rid of it one day), maybe a tune would fit your needs.

car looks good as is. "less is more"

Maybe better wheels/tires. The 19" Rays oem are the lightest and best for the cheap price IMO. If you're not into a spacer(I only just now ordered mine) get a Z tube+kn filter, you'll open up some ponies and it'll sound quicker too. I'd also recommend a strut bar if you can find one for cheap. It will tighten up the steering response and make it more calm over bumps/tracks. Also, any chance you are allowed tint with a medical waiver? In Virginia you can tell an optemetrist to write you a note and a lower tint percent is allowed. Maybe an exhaust also? A decent one for very cheap is an hks knockoff+magnaFlow x pipe+titanium tips. Gives it a lot more powerful look, and gives it some bark, but not annoyingly so. <$500 and pretty decent for a no brand setup. Also, transgo could be interesting for you? Speeds up the auto shifts. I'm not into lowering cars much, but rather performance. With that being said, maybe it's time for a 6mt?
also, a quick and easily seen mod might be to get some overlays for the headlights. Not tint, but rather the surrounding areas. Could look great. Please don't get 20's, they might look good but those are heavy and honestly anything that detracts from the sport in a sports car is lame IMO.

Im debating right mow between coilovers or just some 350z s-tech springs. I actually think the new spoilers are nicer, more suttle and not so gimicky but thats just preference. Im going to leave the body alone as i dont want to spend alot of money on the mods. Im going to black out the grill for sure. Plasti dip or paint? My windows were tinted 35% all around but its illegal to tint the front ones where i live (Vancouver, Canada) and ive gotten 3 tickets for them already, 4th time my car is impounded for 30 days and i pay 1000 bucks to get it back, ridiculous i know. Everyone gets the spacer, is it really that critical? Im also going to think about the tune. How much hp gain are people saying? Thanks for the input man.
Im running 20% tint all around and have never gotten a ticket with it yet and when I do I pull the PBA cards will come out

I plasti dipped my front grille because I was afraid I wouldnt like it but it looks sick. If i were you I would plasti dip it as well because its cheap and efficient. You only need one can and that can will be able to replastidip your grille maybe 3 times incase anything happens to the dip.
Spacers are not critical but its a good bang for the buck.. you'll feel some power around mid range RPM's.
Tune is dyno proven to give you a extra 10-15 hp.

Did you actually bring it to a body shop to paint for you? Or did you do it yourself with spray paint(primer, paint and clearcoat cans)
