Pretty car I wish they would not put that aluminum in the center. The interior was flowing well until they broke it up with the console. Still nice though.

Great car. Post more pics with future mods.

The G35 was my third choice after the IS and SC. I really wish Lexus hurries up and introduces a coupe version of the IS. As for now, the G35 is the best looking value luxury coupe out there on the market.

Congragulations. I haven't seen very many of them with that rear spoiler. You will probably like the way the articulating dash vents work and the way the whole gauge pod moves up-and-down with the steering wheel...both excellent features.
This car is built on the same platform and chassis as the Nissan 350Z. With the one exception, that exception being the 350Z's nice retro-style 3-gauge package in the center of the dash, the G35 Coupe is a much nicer car inside and out. Keep an eye ( and an ear ) out for tire wear, though....the 350Z's similiar suspension has had trouble with the toe settings getting messed up, feathering the tires prematurely, and causing tire noise. There have been several factory TSB's on this...and, believe, a recall for tire replacement at Nissan's expense. Fortunately, this does not seem to have affected the G35 coupes as much, but with the similiarities in design cannot be ruled out.

If you know the break-in rules, fine. if not, PM me and I'll give them to you.

Now that you have a nice new car, I recommend SCRATCH-OUT to keep it looking nice. $3-5 a bottle at some drug stores and auto parts shops.

Very nice choice. I especially love the exhaust note on that car - absolute music.

Out of my nearly $10k in MODS, I would easily agree... CLEAR-BRA is a MUST... especially on black.

The exterior of the G35 Coupe is beautiful. I just can never get used to the Infiniti interiors. They just have a cheap look about them, more inline with their Nissan kin.
