I have chrome factories now, but I damn near paid what after markets cost.

So if i got a 2009, I thought about just getting some after market rims vs chroming facs.

Anyone know?

I then told myself, If they come out with a AWD / AWS model id get it. Well they just answered my calls, lol.

I was getting service work done 7 weeks ago and strolled thru the showroom checking out the 08’s. I had the dumbest sales guy walk over to me and tell me so much wrong information. Anyway I said im just going to wait to see if they are going to come out with a AWD coupe. He swore on his life that there isn’t one coming out. If it was he would know before I would and for 2009 there are no changes to the coupe since it was new in 08.

That’s why I never trust those guys…
I’m glad I stuck to my guns. So now I want to price out a fully loaded performance model in all black and AWD.

I was debating about going back to a 6 speed, but I guess that’s not an option now.

Nice find, I saw it on the torque report this morning.

I have a feeling that the G is not going to be staggered. I just hope you get the larger rim option in a performance package. (8.5 vs 8.0)

GT-R rim size is
20x9.5 f
20x10.5 r

So its staggered with up to 50% to the front.

I know me tho...
I dont like changing what works so I can see me just getting the factory stockers chromed up again. Black on Black with Chrome rims give it a luxury classy look yet still sporty.

It sucks ***** if they dont offer a performance package. I dont want the G coupe for winter use...thats why i have a frontier 4.

Im lost.
Again why even offer a AWD on the coupe if its not for performance?

How many folks drive the coupe thru snow and ice?
