2006 G35 Questions

I bought my g35 used about a couple months ago.
and my left head light is kinda fogged on the top and my stitching on teh side of my leather passenger seat ripped. The rip isnt very big, but i was wondering if i could get it fixed by the dealer, because i bought it certified pre owned. Also my headlight being foggy, its kind of foggy like, 15% is fogged, i dont know if thats an issue, but thanks!
im new to this. haha

pics of the seats?

For the lights just use Meguiar's Plastix and a microfiber rag to get them clean/clear and then throw a good coat of quality wax on to protect

the headlights should be sealed up air tight so i dont think that is on the inside, if it is open them up and use a heat-gun to get rid of the condensation


sure get your windows tinted 20% would look great and you can still see at night. what brand tint is the shop using?

oh the ripped seat should be covered under warranty

Okay.
Well the shop is using this brand called Solar Gard, the name sounds pretty good though.


Maybe the fog is outside(?) possibly.
But is it worth the trip all the way up to portland?
or could i just get it done at a local nissan dealer?

There's a recall on the headlights, have the dealership run a check with your VIN to see if they have been changed. I doubt they have if they are foggy. They will replace them at no cost and the problem will be solved.

You will have to check about the stitching, you might have to be assertive and really push them to warranty it. It depends on what the damage is, what the warranty is and how the dealership handles these things.

You will have to take it to an Infiniti dealer, not Nissan for warranty issues. At least that's what I've been told by Nissan. I live 100 miles from the nearest Infiniti dealer and have to make a day trip out of warranty problems.
Good luck.

Okay,
so after school i bought some plast X and most of the fogging is gone.
You can kind of see a little bit, but most of its gone.


Is 200 a good price to tint all the windows?
Im getting the back three 35% and the front two 50%

Yeah that price sounds good, don't even bother with 50% up front might as well do 35% all round

well that just depends if the cops enforce the law. if 50% is a must then do it but 35% would look better
