meh....I'd really rather just have a stock G37. Too over-done in my opinion, especially since he's already got a fully modded Z. If I was going to spend upwards of $100k or maybe even more (between the G and Z) that def. wouldn't be it. But, different strokes for different folks.

And why the ridiculously expensive brake kit?

The G37 is slowly growing on me, but I still prefer the G35 over this.

Drive the G37S and you'll change your mind.

I wasn't talking about the performance of the car...just the look.

The only thing I don't really like for this car is the racing seats. However, everything else is tastefully done. BBK/drop/rims are the only thing that stands out. You guys are nuts if you think this car is too overdone or ricey!

Agreed. Definitely better looking than the stock G37's I've been seeing. I still prefer the body style/shape of the G35 though.

Looks great, and would be a pain in the ass to drive in a lot of places.....what with the one inch of ground clearance and all.

That is some crazy money s/he threw on mods to a virtually new car. The lip on the rear tires is ridiculous. 20"s ... good thing they're Volks or else they would crack if they hit a pothole (instead, they'll just get bent ) 10.5" rim with +37 offset and 275 tire? I bet there's a bit of negative camber if s/he hasn't rolled the fenders already. Great looks but not terribly practical.

But I do like the overall presentation of the exterior. Racing seats, as someone has already mentioned ... a little overkill for a "luxury" car.

PS I'd take Recaro over Bride anyday ...

I think the real thing I have a problem with is the red seats. If they were stock black leather, that car would look SOOOO much better. IMO.

The red seats, the blue brakes, the ridiculous drop, the cannon's out back that I'm going to assume are considerably louder than stock all add up to too much for me.

I have to agree on the seats, would be nicer in black. Although he could evo out his back seat and do the bride theme in the back. LOL! As far as the brakes, well.. that's project mu's trademark color. Kinda like takata green.

That is such a sick looking car. Ordinarily I hate the looks of the G37 especially compared to the G35 in red with black tinted windows, but this one takes the cake.

I agree.

Wish you could put the new dash in the old coupe. It simply has a certain presence the new one cannot improve upon.

This is a sick looking G37


I think the g37 is a very sexy looking car. It looks better than the 335, IMO. The problem is that it is a fat pig and the interior isn't of the same quality (materials) as it 's competition.

So they're both dirty abused whores?

That G would look better with 19's....i think 20's are a bit too big..
