the first thing i suggest doing besides tinting the windows is getting some different brake pads. The OEM ones ruined my wheels and dusted the wheel over completely after about 2 stops. I think i'm going to get my wheels powder coated the same color now that I have ceramic pads.

I got mine last Friday from Plaza. I believe the 2010 that Dave Muganast has/had has ventilated seats.

My 2009 Maxima had an "air conditioned" driver's seat. I felt it when wearing basketball shorts, other than that, it did very little.

Congrats!!! The people at Plaza are so nice. What color did you get?

I thought the new F's had the option for cooled seats? I'm not sure why it wouldn't be offered. It's pretty stupid if you ask me....

It would appear that we all like blonde IS-F drivers. Welcome.

About how much did the aftermarket pads cost- parts and installation?

What's the approximate cost of powdercoating? Will they actually do the finish any real justice?

Thanks

Yeah they were different from any other dealership I've been to. Trey Wilson is a solid individual. Same with Joe Pens, the Used Manager. They worked a perfect deal with no pressure.

Mine is a certified pre owned 2008 in Smokey Granite Mica. I thought the newer ones had ventilated seats as well. lobuxracer says they don't.

I'm just not sure why I don't have any SLR or phone pics on my computer. I'm too busy driving I guess.

I went to Advance AutoParts and ordered the ceramic Wearever pads, much less dust, only slightly less initial bite in regards to braking.

Does anyone in St. Louis have a Joe-Z exhaust I can listen to?
