The M has been out for a year, and I wonder if it is a car that has "street cred". Meaning, it is one of those cars that you see in magazine ads showcasing wheels, tires, customizations etc;

Also, cool set ups at SEMA-type shows and dare I say it a rap video or two (well maybe not the last).

I see them for the Lexus GS, QX56, Escalade, 300C and of course...Mercedes and BMW. I don't see anything for the RL, Audi or Infiniti M. I wonder why?

Just wait - I'll bet it's all over SEMA this year.

Also, we have a sponsor coming aboard in a couple days with TONS of aftermarket goodies for the M.

Good to hear. Being a new owner, I am still in mod mode and get a lot of ideas from aftermarket specialists.

Oh man, I really hope they dont showcase our M in a rap video...that would just bring the car so down in my opinion. It will actually kill the car alot faster, because then people will see it in video's, etc and then buy it and then it will be all over the streets, and I think that would stink. I love how I barely get to see maybe one M a day if I get lucky living in Los Angeles. That's where the real credit is in my opnion. Just my 2 cents...

Agree...for further differentiation I just bought wood kit and spoiler. Might even splurge on the side mirror turn signals.

Obsidian, welcome to NICO...

We are having a meet in Indy on June 3, you shoudl try and make it up, its gonna be golden..

Anyway, i thinkthe M will become more popular like the G35 did..... Still the infiniti brand does not have the same sort of street credibility as others do.
