The door welt should cover it. You should check the holes for the sunvisor clips and make sure the headliner hole is centered to the sunvisor hole in the roof.

Lubed the hood hinges and learned how to remove the wiper blades completely for the ultimate JDM look!

(get what you pay for). ripped it all off AGAIN! bought more fabric AGAIN and went back to the original guy even though it was super expensive and he redid it. lol this headliner cost me like 800$ in total.... hahhaah least i know now. it looks good. im really happy with it. the flat knit black material looks super stock. and im running the 350z buckles so its black and matches and i know the paint wont flake off after use
Looks good tho. Thinking about redoing mine so I can delete the card holder & passenger handle. Lol, I thought I spent too much when I ended up going through about 4 cans 3m spray glue doing mines. Thing was like $20 a can.

yeah its all matched up, i think its just because the driver side has the card holder and not the grab bars that actually have screws...

Picked up a K&N air filter, K&N oil filter, cabin air filter, and some Royal Purple to try in it. Never tried it before, so why not. Poor thing had Jiffy-Lube garbage in it from previous owner and the oil filter wasn't even hand-tightened!

Finally washed it. Next year it'll be new wheels and new front bumper (thinking about the hikkata dori from outcast garage) Oh and once I finish these quads those will go on as well.

Oil change went well. found out the car only had 1.5 qt's of oil in it from it leaking out due to poorly tightened oil filter (Fcking jiffy lube retards). I guess that means our oil light doesnt kick on till you are at 1 qt. Damn good engine for running so smooth with that little of oil. also changed out the cabin air filter. I'm surprised ANY air was able to get through what looks like the stock filter from 2004. sad to see how poorly this car was treated by the previous owner :/

Hey everyone, I have a few questions as far as what mods I should do to my g. It's a 2003 g35 coupe with a short ram air intake and a resonator delete. I want to increase horsepower but I'm still in high school and only have a part time job. I was thinking of buying a plenum spacer, taking out my cats, and Dyno tune. Any suggestions or advice on anything?

Took the engine off the stand today. Got the oil feed lines done, jwt clutch, some more z1 hoses and flywheel in and transmission mount and tranny back on the motor. It was a long day.
