considering an 05 sport coup. can you guys help?

i want this car! 2005 black sport coup with 20" I forged wheels, air intake gps, the works.. my question is, when under the hood on another 05 basic coup i drove, it had an infinity engine cover so you really couldnt see anything (most the components where covered). this one did not. is this a problem? also i currently drive a mustang and the clutch and shift were much different. it seemed when i somewhat got on it (5500-6500) rpms the rpms seemed to go up right before going into the next gear and into the next gear. i only drove for about 10 minutes so maybe not enough practice yet. at normal city rpms it was very smooth. only when i got it did i feel a surge right before the next gear and while i was shifting. any imput would be awesome. thanks for taking a moment

No engine cover is not a problem, i took it off my 05 6MT a long time ago.

as for the clutch it takes practice

G35 6MT Transmissions are different... it's take awhile to get use to.

I hated my engine cover, so I removed it, especially after I installed an intake system which left a gaping hole where the oem intake use to be.

I bought the car. It's freaking amazing. It has a a bunch of add ons I need to investigate more. Mirror tint, 20" iforged chromes, pipes, painted rotors. It has 23,000 miles. It looks brand new. I'm so glad I bought one that was done the way I like it. Saved me a bundle and headache. But I'm sure there is more.

if it had the cover from an audio company I wouldn't worry about it too much

Glad your enjoying your new G.

Looks sweet.

BTW, I took my engine cover off. No big deal.

These are dusty pics and do no justice. This car is immaculate in person and I love this freaking car! The body style of the g is absolutely gorgeous.
