The car looks great man! I'm a big fan of those G35 wheels too and the steering wheel really changes the interiors look a lot.

The side markers are from ebay. search gs side markers. Looks like they are only 21.90 now. Grrrr. They require extensive dremel/grinding to fit halfway decently though.

Re the tires and wheels, yeah I am a major deal shopper. Hehe, all part of the fun to me.

It's Silver Spruce Metallic. Didn't really like the color when I got it but it has grown on me a lot.

Steering wheel and the G35 wheels are definitely the top two mods. Steering wheel was worth every penny, although my wife would disagree. LoL

I don't see why the original couldn't be put back on as long as you leave enough wire when you splice it originally. Just splice back in the original setup. That's what I plan to do when the day comes that I decide to sell mine.

Glad you did some good maintenance on the engine. Did you handle the timing belt, seals, and water pump yourself?

how can u guys not like the woodgrain?

Ratman please tell me where u got all that woodgrain, I think that is one of the most classiest upgrades ive seen done to the interior here and im sorry to say but at my first opportunity I will be doing the exact same thing to my car lol.

Your steering wheel is first class as well.

That is the sort of tasteful modding im all about.

What's up with the airbag? Doesn't look like it's sitting in there straight.

Also, it looks like the emblem has been painted over. It's supposed to be chrome.

Nice SC! With those wheels you should really go with the LS400 BBK, best bang for the buck in my opinion. I have a very nice extra set of LS400 calipers for sale (complete with everything!) and a set of LS400 front rotors as well. Email me if you are interested: draytonwebb@yahoo.com
