I voted "not sure" but I think it won't be a worthy mod. To me, I think that part of the G that you covered up is part of what makes its lines sexy. In the right light, the curves really show up and makes it look like a big muscle.

I've noticed that most of the people responded as I expected, with their honest opinion. Thanks.

Then there are a few panzies who took the question as an attack on their manhood. I realize that the internet provides some of the weaker among us some degree of anonymity, but if you can not offer your opinion without a flaming demonstration of your ignorance, please spare the rest of us from having to pass over your useless drivel. I simply asked what ya'z thought of this idea. What I got was a mixture of inteligent dialog and what I like to call "Lets show everyone what an ignorant a$$ I am" I thought g35 owners were a classy bunch but I can see that simply owning a nice car doesn't give you class.

Thanks again to all who responded either for or against the idea. I was unsure myself.

P.S. if you are unsure who the "Ignorant a$$e$" are...read the flames that follow.

Whoa... It was like I was playing photohunt with the 2 pix. I think it messes up the lines of the car. Almost makes it look more dated. just my 2 cents.

I think it looks good. Kinds of messes with the window flow, but not necessarily in a bad way.

Wow. Your post reads like something a ignorant redneck racist would say, so I guess you're even.

As for the mod, I can take it or leave it. It's so subtle it would prbably go unnoticed except to someone very familiar with the car.

SKYLINE don't be discouraged, I know that was a lot of work just measuring & cutting the vinyl. If you're uncertain of the way a newly fabricated mod is going, just keep working on it. At least your thinking outside of the box...and not limiting yourself to just buying off the shelf mods like a lot of people on this forum!

These are the Carbon Fiber C-Pillar Pieces I fabricated a while back. They're more rounded and a little more subtle.
IMO...I always thought that the abrupt Vertical C-Pillar that helped define the strong shoulders & good looks of the G35 Sedan, didn't work as well on the Coupe.
I think they accentuate the Coupes sleek profile while helping the rear window trim pieces to retain their lines...

Last pic is with the new ings+1 Hybrid Aero Kit w/moulded in front & rear pieces.
