supercharged sedan

sup yall

just picked this up on craigslist, i'm the 2nd owner. has a bunch of stillen mods (supercharger, exhaust, body, suspension) but not too aggressive. very clean inside, automatic, lexani chrome 17s

2004 'premium' trim, only 80k!

it's almost a completely different car than the 2006 coupe with the 19" rays I've been driving for a couple years

I've taken a cursory look around for some OEM projector headlights that are in 'new' condition but haven't found any. is that an easy upgrade if I can find them?

also i think i might like to go back to the stock grill

Coupe, Premium package, sport suspension
Welcome! Exterior looks very clean and shiny. I would lose the grill _and_ the wheels. Chrome is hard to do on Gs, and chrome 17s make no sense at all. Black grill and chrome 17s? Very conflicted.

You won't find OEM projector headlights for a 1st gen sedan. They don't exist. You'll have to get a custom retrofit of OEM bodies or find a set that have already been done.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Amen to the above. Love the color as sedans are pretty rare with it, is it Atlantic or Caribbean Blue? I can never tell from the pictures. Also the wheels and grill gotta go, they make a classy car look cheesy IMHO but everything else about it spells WIN!! Any dyno numbers on the motor? The Stillen isn't a very popular choice here but I think a well done set-up is ballin' no matter what the masses think.

Post up some engine bay pics and welcome to our dysfunctional little family, enjoy your stay. If you're looking for great technical advice regarding your motor or SC head over to my350Z, we have a nice FI section but the folks over on the 350 site have much more in-depth discussions of the tech side than we tend to do.

As said above ^ no factory projectors for the sedans unfortunately. I'd recommend a threaded shaft retrofit to keep the costs below $300, but it's totally up to you (saying DIY).

ah, thanks for the info. the grill is actually chrome, the angles dont exactly work right in this pic.

i've been thinking of swapping the wheels, but i can't for the life of my find anything in 17" that looks good. I really want to stay with 17 to preserve the comfort/ride.

18's will keep the comfort you seek while filling the wheel gap much more .
