hey. 2010 g37 coupe with paint code QAA. I had a huge windstorm around the area and it knocked my basketball hoop on my car and it scratched throw the paint on the trunk and left a dent on the rear quarter panel. I wanna know what my options are for these 2. I think the dent should not be thattttt hard but if you guys have tips pls send them my way. What about for the paint that got scratched off. What can I even do about that? Do I just have to get it all repainted or can I use a touch up pen or some sort of touch up paint with my paint code?

Any help is appreciated!

The black paint on the dent and the orange paint on the trunk was wiped off easily, just now is the paint that peeled off.

Hey guys, i posted recently on trying to find one of those IPL or Sport Spoilers. I found one similar paint code to mine, but doesn’t have a backup camera cutout. I’m not too concerned about the backup camera cutout as I can see the lines where it needs to be cutout from. I’m more concerned about the wiring for the brake light. I got this spoiler from a 2008 G37 coupe. My G37 coupe is a 2010. The wire on the spoiler seems super long and doesn’t have a plug but on my car i can see a plug next to where the backup camera plugs in. What should I do here? Has anyone had experience with this? Also, my old 2012 G37 also had this plug right next to the backup camera plug when you remove the trunk liner. I’m assuming the older model years had a different area for the wire to go into? Looking for any tips or suggestions.

Also, any way i can just replace the brake light to find one with the plug and a newer one? That would make it much easier.

I’m pretty sure this is the OEM rear deck lid spoiler. May I know where i can find one of these? I have paint code QAA and am curious to where I can get one. I’ve been searching around my area forever but no luck. Also are the aftermarket ones any good? What are your guys’ experiences?

I just bought a fresh pair of refinished and repainted stocks since mine had some curbrash and i ceramic coated them. They are the factory stagger rear (19x9) and front (19x8.5). What is the widest i can go on tires for rear and front if i also am gonna lower it eventually. Should i stick to factory tire spec (245/40/19 rear) (225/45/19) or would these specs work as well:
275/30/19 rear
245/35/19 front

265/30/19 rear
245/30/19 front

hey everyone, like seen in the pictures, what would be some ways to fix this?

I’m aware that a cracked dash can be replaced with a non cracked one, or wrapped over in alcantara but idk how i currrntly feel about wrapping over it. I’d like to repair or fix or replace.

With the trim that’s peeling, what are ways to fix this? i don’t wanna wrap over them as i like the factory trim.

Basically, this car is my first manual car. I’ve had around 100 miles driven and im sure it hasn’t been kind to the clutch or the trans as i’m a new manual driver. I recently started hearing this coming from the car when not pressing the clutch. Did I cook the trans within a month of being a noob at manual? Or is this something that you guys know can be fixed. Might just be a rattle but I’m a bit worried!

Also, previous owner had receipts for a motor swap around 3ish years ago I wanna say. He told me he swapped clutch out last year or year before that and installed a CSC V1 kit from Z1 or saw that it had one, not sure which was which, but he did mention trans fluid and clutch changed last year.

If there’s anything I can do, let me know!

hey guys, these need some love but for 150, with MAFs, i’ll make my money back even if they’re bad! These need some TLC for sure, i cleaned them up and used K&N filter cleaner on the filters, hence the color. Any way I could source one of those pipes from Stillen directly? One of them has some damage on it from being in an accident I believe. I’m sure it would be fine if I ran them how they are but i’d rather fix it. If not, what do you guys suggest to fix it!

Also, any suggestions on how to clean them up properly and make them look brand new again will be appreciated :)

Also, one of the MAF bolts broke off unfortunately, any thoughts on how i would remove that?

Oh and, Stillen recommends these to be oiled but on my old car I had AFE Power intakes and ran them dry, what do you guys recommend? I have the K&N oil for the air filter at home already.

My gas gauge wasn’t reading right and I had a P0462 code. It Would read right occasionally. It seems like it was just as simple as resoldering the resistors, the 181 and 161 that’s circled seem to be the biggest culprit. I heated up one side for the circled one and the resistor fell off which made me realize one side wasn’t on properly so i resoldered it to the board. Also applied more solder to each other resistor.

Taking out the AC Amp was pretty easy. I have 1WX1A part number and was gonna order the newer one that fixed it but decided to tackle this. My soldering experience is soldering 2-3 new joysticks for ps4 controllers over the summer with a 15 dollar soldering iron. Saved myself a bunch of money i hope.

Gas gauge seems to be reading right now and it’s been 3 days and the check engine light hasn’t come back. Hopefully this is permanent enough. If it does come back I’ll look at the fuel sending unit but it all seems good right now :)
