saolin43 ordered 1160mm or 45.669" and noted that it's "about" 1/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/8". so 45.669" + 0.125" = 45.794" - this is on the high end...

thescreensavers ordered 1155.7mm or 45.5" and noted that it was 2/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/4". so 45.5" + 0.25" = 45.75"

screensaver's comment seemed more exact seeing how saolin said "about". either way, convert everything to mm and saolin is saying it should be 1163.18mm. and screensaver is saying it should be 1162.05mm. keep things simple and say 1162mm, which is 45.748" as opposed to the 45.75" (better to be conservative). so worst case you're off by 0.02" which isn't even noticeable.

hope that makes sense!

Putting in the research for G35Driver peeps.

Where are you going to order from? I'm thinking about the place in Cali

So how did it all fit?

^1162 will have a very small gap on both sides. 1165 is probably better.

I'm going to have them do it on the damaged side. If it's not too much, I'll get them to do the drivers side too. If it is too much for me to swing right now, I'll just 3M the moldings back to the shaved passenger side so it will match until I can save enough for the drivers side.
