New 09 Blue Slate G37x Coupe!-Frequent Updates!

After a back and forth month of deciding what to do, I chose to pull the trigger on this beauty Saturday. Picked her up tonight.

2009 G37x Coupe - AWD - 150miles
Paid via VPP program - $35,xxx out the door.

Mod List planned:
-35% Tint all the way around
-Eibach Springs 1.8 all around
-Stillen Intake
-Magnaflow Exhaust
-Alarm/Remote Start
-Re-install Amp/JL Audio W7
-Blackout Grille








I'll post up more as I modify the car. Tint is going on Friday.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats man! What color is that? Lakeshore Slate Metallic? If so, my dad has a 05 G35x sedan in that color!

More, and better, pictures are a must!

It's called Blue Slate but I swear under all different types of lighting its a different color. Thats what I like about it.

Definately better pics to come. These were just taken with a shitty digi.

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words.

SuperTrooper- I want to see how it's going to look lowered. Wheels aren't on my list of priorities but that could always change. lol

why didnt you get a 2010? it has the updated hi-res navi. unless you didnt get navi then i guess it doesnt matter.

btw, anyone who wants VPP pricing theres a nissan employee on the 370Z forum giving out his ID# (ending march 31st) so anyone can use VPP.

^09 had better incentives and was brand new. No difference between the years like you said and I didnt get navi cause it was $2500 more and I have a GPS unit. Paid cash for the vehicle so it was a "hard to pass" deal.

Also, it's probably the same guy I used my VPP for. Found him a month ago and had the 3/31 deadline to work with.

Haha, got the wheels turning now huh? (pun intended) Well if you ever do cross that road hit me up. I've been searching high and low for those wheels.

^I'm surprised you can't find a set. I mean, they are OK looking but I would have to imagine a lot of people are buying aftermarket. Or maybe they are holding on for winter rims.

Bingo! Well I personally love the design and was looking for more of an OEM look than what I have now. Obviously there aren't many Honda 18" OEM options out there either. The ones that are listed on fleebay are WAY over priced for what they are. So yeah, kinda left waiting for a sane person to part ways with them so I can snag them.

^Thanks. I have not spoken with John for a while now. I should give him a call.

Getting the 10W7 transferred into this car. Should sound clean like the Acura did.

Very nice..... And the color is kick ass...

Now lose the silver thing on the upturned rear (integrated trunk spoiler) and you'll be good.
