You sure? That little window after the door seems really similar to the first gen G35 coupe. Nonetheless, still looks weird.

am i the only one who appreciates the good work done to this car? there is no denying that fitment is great and the work looks good...but then again, its due with a couple of bodyshop years under my belt. this isn't as easy as it looks. final execution is really not that bad. would i do it or drive it? no.
