Finally started collecting some parts so I figured I'd make a thread of my own. I'd hardly consider mine a "build" compared to most of the guys on here... so I'll just be posting some of the improvements I'll be doing. All the parts will be sitting in storage until I get home and have an install party.

Traded in my '13 G37 Coupe for a '17 350 F-Sport with red interior, nav, and Mark Levinson sound system.
So far, I've ordered the following:

-- VS Forged VS09 wheels: 19x8.5 +25 / 9.5 +39 -- Brushed Candy Apple Red
-- Hankook Ventus V12 in 225/35 and 255/30
***Huge thanks to Paul at PK Auto Design for the incredible deal on this wheel/tire setup!***

-- Megan Racing front upper control arms (MRS-LX-0373)
-- Megan Racing rear upper camber arms (MRS-LX-0314-02)

-- Akebono ACT1118 ProACT brake pads for the front


**UPDATE - NEW PARTS RECEIVED**
-- BC Coilovers
-- TRD style carbon fiber front splitters
-- Tsudo Cat-back exhaust system

Thanks to AeyBeCei for the Injen intake! I will add it to the collection of parts that need to be installed

 

looking like a good start.
Keep the updates coming!

 

Thanks, man! Just read through your ENTIRE build thread the other day.... seriously impressive, and very clean! I love it!

Small update: Wheels and tires are shipping out soon! Thanks AGAIN to PK Auto Design for all of the help with the order and keeping me updated throughout the process. I will definitely be hitting them up again when I order wheels for the other new ride.

 

Couldn't pass up the deal on these TRD-style front splitters. (And I'm not sure I could have ever let myself spend $600.00+ on the authentic ones lol) Even if the finish is sub par, I can still have them paint matched to cover it up, and not even come close to the TRD price tag

 

what wheels are they? are they from the ISF? or are they all new?

 

So clean! I saw them on ebay the other day as well. keep us posted once you get them installed. I wonder how fitment is on the replica piece

Here's link to them on ebay if anybody else was looking for them as well.

They're from TRD. You can find them here:

@specONE - yea I was a little iffy at first, but the price reeled me in. Hopefully I'll be able to "manipulate" them a little bit if the fitment isn't on point.

 

Had the wife check the fitment on the TRD rep splitters... looks to be perfect! Also had her snag some pics of the wheels.... I'm in love

 

 

Unfortunately, not for a couple of months. Still waiting on a coilover option for the 17's anyways

 

 

From what I've gathered, only the AWD models kept the '16 suspension... and the RWD's had a small change for '17.
