Sup guys, this is my first Jeep and SUV in general. The first car I ever bought (my actual first car was my moms Hyundai Elantra lol) was a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan 5AT, followed by a lease 2011 G37S sedan 6MT, and finally by a leased 2013 BMW E93 M3 convertible 6MT. The M3 was my favorite, but the least practical. No trunk room, no backseat room, rear seats didn't fold... but omg the sound and feel of this car. Biggest problem is living in NYC and the constant destroyed roads. Even highways are full of potholes and they rarely get fixed. When they do, they are instantly ruined and it's like dodging craters. I do love power and speed but the SRT8 version of this car is almost triple the price of this lease!
I grabbed a lease takeover for exactly 1 year on a 2013 Grand Cherokee Laredo as I've always wanted to try a Jeep. I like to snowboard, downhill mountain bike and go camping, beside other random trips and activities. My finances and lack of parking allow me to only own 1 car so having a sports car is not really an option. I do have a Ninja ZX6-R to enjoy in the summer though
Another thing to mention is I own a car customization shop and I cannot keep a car stock. All my vehicles end up getting a full makeover and I'm about to do the same with this truck. I’ll keep the thread updated as I add new modifications. My top priorities would be the HID/LED headlight conversion with custom black paintwork inside, a full vinyl wrap, and lowering it with a proper 22” wheel setup (and lots more). Check out my previous rides:

NYPD is tough on us lol

The car came with navi but no back-up camera so that was the first thing I installed. Parking is tight in NYC and I’m honestly not used to the size of the truck, coming from much smaller cars. Not sure if it’s just like OEM, but it certainly does the trick:

Next was the tints. Rear comes in 20%, I did the two front windows in 35% not to get too much trouble from the police, and the windshield is a 75% ceramic for heat reduction in the summer.

Already bought a like-new pair of OEM Xenon headlights, getting them ready for the retrofit. And Eibach lowering springs so she can sit pretty
