G35 Coupe is a good looking car when slammed on deep dish mesh three piece style 19s with the front and rear aero bits from nissan. but that's another $9K or so on top of the selling price.

i don't like the way it drives. runs out of breath as you go up the rev range and the torque is decent, but again, engine feels a bit rough. comfy ride for sure.

i like the new projector HID lenses on the '06s.

drive safe!

I always liked this rear spoiler better than the OEM. For that matter the '06s have a more subtle rear spoiler that looks much better than the early ones IMO.

way too subtle. a wing should be a wing and not a nipple. i'm a fan of the bigger spoiler on the older G35s but only when coupled with the front aero lip.

i'd never roll a car without a nice aerokit of some type, preferably from the factory so it all looks tidy. oh wheels and suspension too. only the best.

Here's how i'd do a G35 coupe:

Silver or white with black interior, preferably '06 with the new headlights
19" HRE 5 or 4 series wheels with dish about 4" in the back and as wide as possible. work wheels are a good cheaper alternative, but many of them are not forged unfortunately. brushed centers

slammed on a set of KW3s or something like that - one finger or less gap at all corners
OEM aeros front and rear
30% tint

it'll look awesome!!!!

This is the only pic of the OEM one I've seen. The white one is aftermarket - this one is the new OEM.

I don't like the way the older OEM one splays out. This one looks good in person - much more like the AP1 OEM spoiler, in fact.



I must confess - I love the way the G35 looks. Like I said earlier - I was set to buy one instead of the Audi. I really didn't care for the way it drove and the interior wasn't up to snuff for the $$$.

I told missus lig that it would be a car I enjoyed from the outside in rather than the inside out.

The Audi isn't really all that good looking - a nicely turned out G35 Coupe or M3 would be more eyeball pleasing but it's really a great car to drive - and I love the interior.

It's just a really clean design. bling-bling wheels, Gina.

One great thing about this car is that you can get really big lips on your wheels.

Very dramatic.
