Need some advice on rebuilding the front end of our '04 G35... Car was involved in front end collision, will need new hood, fender, grill, bumper cover, headlights, radiator, fans, and various inner panels and other items. I am considering aftermarket body panels to replace, hood, fenders, etc, but have always heard the horror stories about ill fitting panels. I'm not looking to go with anything radical, just slightly update the stuck look, does anyone have a recommendation for a particular brand that you have had success with?

Also, if anyone has a recommendation for purchasing inner panels, radiator, etc, that would be appreciated if you can pass that along as well... I have no problem using some used parts..

Thanks in advance,
~tom

 

I would get an 06/7 sport bumper and OEM projectors (there's some for sale on here now for a good price!). Fenders, and hood I'd find from a junk yard on Craigslist.

Get a KOYO aluminum racing radiator. It seems like overkill, but it's only ~$100 more than the plastic aftermarket ones (look around for sales on the internet) and you'll never have to worry about it again.

 

OP please read the forum headers before posting. This one says specifically "NO car questions" and is for feedback on the general forum format.

That being said I've moved it to the appropriate place. A great place to find replacement parts is rockauto.com. A lot of us use them and I have for years, never been disappointed with a transaction from there. Good luck and keep us posted with your ongoing rebuild.

 

i know this has been few years ago but i have same problem with my 03 g35 coupe was wondering if you had any advice for me

 

Find one in a local pick-n-pull wrecking yard and salvage all the parts you need.
