Im glad I read up on the differences before I bought mine. 05 is the best bang for your buck, IMO

great info here.
05+ coupe front bumpers have a little spoiler on each side.
04 brembo is a beauty... I had a choice to go either 04 or 05. 05 was imo more redefined product. i mean... who really needs a tape deck in 2004? 05's really bumped up the practicality of the vehicle. However I went for the brembos.... It's great!! until when you have to get them serviced. Can you believe 750 dollars (canadian) for one rear rotor? Of course I got the dba's..
04 in my opinion has the nostalgic appeal. More brute (heavier clutchl anyway..) and no bs feel. Whilst the 05+ have the redefined, practical, sophisticated feel.
what's your take?

when i was looking for mine i wanted white with black interior, happy i found one with brembo's also. The only thing i like better in the 05 is the new cluster design, other than that i like everything about the 03's much better than the 05's. If i had to do it all over again i would get 03 with brembo's or the 06(more agressive bumper design), i wouldn't even consider the 05.
The 05 is an odd year--no Brembos or Michelin Pilots from the 03/04, no bluetooth, exterior changes from the 06/07s. Plus, you have to be really careful if you get an 05+ manual that burns oil and is out of warranty.
And, while the 05 interior may be better in some regards than the 04, it's still not a great looking interior--kind of looks like the aluminum trim was an aftermarket thought.
Plus, the 05+ seats tear at the seems and the leather wrapped steering wheels don't age well.
IMO the best part of the 05+ interior is that Infiniti got their heads out of their ***** and put a black carpet in the car instead of the WEAK light gray in the 03/04s.

Which Front Brake pads for Sport Package G35?
I have a 2006 G35 Coupe with all the options. The full sport/premium and aero packages as available from the dealer at the time. Are the front brake pads on this car the same as the base G35 coupe? I can't find a listing for pads, and some listings show the pads not fitting cars with the sport package.
