Exactly what my reply was going to be before I read yours.


Aside from the exhaust tips the second worst thing (on a very long list) are the yellow calipers with red hats.

Anybody who does that for no reason (nobody asked him to hear what it sounds like, he wasn't trying to get somebody to race him, he wasn't at a car meet, etc) is a complete douche bag in my book.

the first thing that went through my mind when i saw the exhaust was: "that G has a rocket engine strapped on somewhere?"

No, I don't think even this douche is dumb enough to think that trumpets will work for mufflers. I just think they look like trumpets.

The really sad thing is that the owner of the G probably thinks his car looks awesome.

Its real, and he is the laughing stock of G35driver.com but he does not post there.

Whats sad is that he has a $1400 HKS true dual exhaust that comes with very nice titanium tips and he put those nasty trumpets on there.

His rear trunk lid is ridiculous with badging!
