1. Don't get a fx w/o the navi pack
2. Don't get the brick interior is a no no, I repeat a no nooooooooooooooo
3. Check for the speak/ sub located where the spare tire is.
4. Make sure your dash don't have any bubbles. 1 can turn into 1,000.
5. Also the oem brakes sucks, upgrade them asap

other wise enjoy the ride.

Great feedback.
1) Haven't really looked into it, but is aftermarket headunit/in-dash navi not an option (or is extensive dash modding required?)
2) What's the thought here? Personal perference or is there something "defective" about the brick? Does it fade or bleed or something?
3) Do these get stolen? Or removed and not put back when traded-in?
4) I'll keep an eye on that, thanks!
5) Which parts are bad? Rotors? Calipers? Pads? Is BBK an option?

Thanks, again, everyone!

I have a 2006 and never had a problem with the brakes. However I did install aftermarket rotors for cosmetic purposes. Also, I hear the G37C BBK works great on 2006 - 2008 FXs.

1. you won't look into it now, but I'm giving you the jump start you will want to upgrade your oem non navi. the orange led suckkkks

2. Cracks & Peels

3. I haven't heard about a FX being stolen. (but just remember if you need a part for the FX you will have to go to the dealership. there's never any parts for sale like G35s)

4. Welcome

5. Just upgrade your OEM pads and rotors then you won't have any problems.
