Yo ripe, the fogs are intergrated in the headlights. I do, personally speaking, like my fogs in the lower bumper. It visually lowers the car.

Yeah. A redesigned front bumper with foglights would make a good little refreshment for the next model year. My friend has one and a I have to ask him to switch cars with me for a weekend or two.

There actually are hid foglights that are sold in japan for the g35 coupe as an option. It takes up the lower air passageway in the bumper. It cost way to much to buy though thats why no one has it.

That is an EXPENSIVE clutch..... (trust me). It will not last very long doing that kind of stuff. Infiniti's powertrain warranty does not cover racing or abuse. And speeding tickets are not cheap either. So you better keep some cash around in the piggy bank....looks like you're gonna need it.

That one actually has a Supercharger already! :P

I wonder if AWD will be offered, like the sedan? I am hearing a lot of rumors of a 05 total interior revamp. They added cupholders and an armrest last year.

i have a feeling that awd on the g35c would come out together with the turbo, if they decide to import that here.

That would be Serious HP, AWD, good looks, nice interior (hopefully), decent price? Sounds like a winning combo to me!

AWD is coming....at least on the sedan. Infiniti has already announced it. Should be in showrooms before too long.
I agree with the comments about the cheap Nissan / Infiniti interiors, but AWD is going to make this car one of the best sports sedans on the market. It is finally going to give Chris Bangle and his I-Drive specials the boot right up the a-- they deserve. (See the other forum here about Bangle's reassignment)

Did I misquote you, 1SICKLEX? If I did, ......please accept my apology. I noticed you said AWD LIKE the sedan....so maybe you were already aware of the sedan incorporating it.
Still, watch out, Bangle..........

Nice rims,

Don't listen to the naysayers. The G35 and Z are great cars. The sedans are awsome as well. I would pick one any day over say an IS or GS300. Test drive one and you will see. They perform beutifully in all aspects and are very well balanced.
