I just finished paying off my 09 G37 sedan, I'm new to the car mod world. I have a Journey Trim model. I Would like some advice and tips about upgrading brakes, suspension, rims, spoiler and etc on my car to make it look sleeker and sportier and of course perform better. I would really appreciate anyone's help.
Thank you :)

Brakes
Rear deck spoiler
paddle shifters
wheels

all fit without any issues. you would have to replace the front bumper to make it look like the sport or just add the chin spoiler to your non sport bumper with less headache. the only other differences are the seats and those are way to expensive to worry about switching out to.... let me know if you need pricing on those items.

Thank you for the response,
I'm actually reading on some details I need to upgrade. I want to put vossen ccv3 rims on my car, and drop it but also, enhance the handling to be like a sport. Not sure what I need for that. I want to also install the OEM brake kit. And I was thinking to add another cosmetic upgrade. DRL led head lights too. Please if you can let me know on specs and prices. Ball park what I'm looking at all together.
Thank you much appreciated

A drop in suspension (I highly recommend eibach springs) and set of your choice wheels will set it off and drive great!! If you want to add the akebono bbk be sure to mention bbk when ordering wheels!! Or just order wheels as if you had a '10+ g37 SPORT sedan!! Alignment will be necessary afterwards ofcourse...

I've added the rear spoiler on my 2008 G35s. It has a brake light also. I installed it myself. Fairly easy and really looks great. Be sure to purchase it already painted to match your car, as the cost of paint can get expensive. I think I paid less than $150 including shipping. The spoiler really balances out the rear of the car.

Which spoiler did you get? The original owner had the factory-style spoiler added to ours and it does good as a grab-area to open the trunk.
