Okay, I think this is horrible lol. I pick up my 06 G35 Black / Black this coming Friday, but I've already started ordering stuff. I've ordered the Clear Corners so far, and stopped myself from ordering the Z1.

I'm switching from a Focus (thank god), and this is my first real car. Im 23, and can finally afford one without issues.

I got the 6MT black / black with premium, aero, rear active steer, etc. No navigation since I wanted an after-market one.

Couple of questions though...

1. For the Z1, do I still need to get the Double DIN brackets and the rest from grubbs or somewhere else?

2. Since the Bluetooth on the G isn't that great, should I get the Pioneer one that goes with the Z1 and can I replace that with the one that is in the car already?

3. Clear corners...Ahhh I can't believe I ordered them already ! am i nuts?

4. Bought the interior detailing stuff today at a store. What other things should I keep at hand to clean the black car? I mean I have to take it to the car washes where I wash it myself, but then, what things do I need? I should never take it through the auto wash right?

5. Should I get the clear bra on a black car? If so, what areas? I've used the search feature, and I think I might just get the bumper, but should I do the whole hood? How hard does cleaning it become? Or not bother?

6. Thinking about ordering the Gialla grille and de-badging the Infiniti and G35 text.

Thats it for now...

Yes I've used the search feature for some answers, but these are just opinions I need since not a lot of ppl have the 06 on this forum for some reason.


I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT TO GET MY NEW RIDE!!! Also, since I grew up in Japan (not japanese), I think my new Vanity Plate is going to be pretty cool though although only Japanese people will be able to understand what it means!

P.S. Already have a tinting appointment scheduled...They use Johnsons over there so I'm thinkin about getting 35%...I'm in PA.

 

Congrats man! Sounds like the mod bug has already gotten you. Good luck with it.

 

Yeah I just dont plan on putting 10 20k like I'm hearing some others put on. Just some exterior / interior mods...nothing performance related really. I dont really go to tracks and so on.

 

Just noticed on Crutchfield for the Pioneer Avic Z1

2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe with Bose system: does not fit in vehicle???

 

Congrats...I just picked up my '06 Black 6MT today...very lovely car. I'm just kinda hesitant to modify it since my last car was stolen and it was quite heavily modified.

 

yes to the gialla grille. yes to debadging everything but the mt fuji. yes to the clear corners.

 

that sucks...did insurance cover anything?

 

Nope...just the value of the car.

 

Ouch....Enjoy that G though. Can't wait....

 

congrats, nice upgrade from a focus..........clear corners are always some where to start

 

I just got mine about a month ago and have already done a few mods (grille, clear corners, debadge). I am about to order the AVIC-Z1 myself, and yes, it will fit but you will need to buy the kit through grubbs, etc. to get the double din conversion. You might also want the PAC SWI-X so that you can use the steering wheel controls. I thought about the bluetooth also, and I am just going to rely on the Pioneer one since I've heard so many bad things about the built-in bluetooth.

 

Welcome to the club.

I had the following parts sitting in my office or already ordered before my '05 was ever delivered. I ordered the car, so I had a couple of months to wait.

NISMO front bumper
NISMO rear diffuser
Data Systems rear spoiler
Gialla grill
NISMO headers (JetHot2000 coating)
NISMO Y-pipe *
Crawford Cats
NISMO sway bars
Z-tube
drop-in filter
Rogue Engineering shifter *
UR crank pulley *

I've picked up a few more since then (MREV+, headlights, etc.)

The items with the "*" are ones that were never installed and are what I consider wasted money due to limited knowledge.

The Y-pipe, as people have come to find, would have been too much with the headers and cats. I decided against the crank pulley after more research. And I had bought the RE short-shift before the '05 was ever released, so it was only when I took delivery that I realized the '05 shifter had improved isolation. It's operation is fine for me, so the RE shifter wasn't going to offer as much as it does on the '03-'04 6MT.

 

no to the clear bra
