Hi Guys,

Really need your help on this one! I have an 04 coupe, pretty happy with the car up until I took it to this idiot locally in Miami that turned a simple thing into a big deal that I am stuck with.

To make the long story short, I have 300zx that I was looking for to get painted. I passed by this place Accutech Motors in Kendall, FL where the guy gave me a quote for the 300zx. Thought it was decent, but before I give him the 300zx I figured he can do some small things on my G35, such as paint the mirrors black, my grill in black, and some mudguards red to match the rest of the car.

4 weeks later after I finally got my car, my front bumper was destroyed, painted the wrong color (the cheapest paint used), and supposedely fixed. After I drove on the highway, my undertray was not bolted on properly so that thing flew off along with the fender guard. I am super upset, however at this point I really need to get this fixed.

I am looking to get a new bumper, as I was thinking maybe I could get something better than stock, however note that I am not changing the sideskirts or the rear bumper. Which front bumper will still look ok without changing the rest of the body can someone give me their expertise:

Inven Poly
Nismo Poly
Kuruma Z Poly
Factory G35 Poly

If you could please let me know that would be great,


Best Regards,


Alen

Nismo for sure. It sits the highest so it won't look stupid with all stock body.

Ok I have a 2005 G35 Coupe 6MT, I am looking to do a couple more mods to it.

I currently have:
MD MREV2
5/16" Plenum Spacer
Injen CAI
Lightweight Flywheel (14lbs)
Competition Clutch Stage 2 kit.

I am thinking about getting the invidia gemini catback, but had some questions about it. Are you able to put HFCs with this? Also what about the ART pipes? I have some time to think about it cause have to replace valve covers this weekend then address a prob with trans.

I think there's a cheap mod thread somewhere. Some low budget (and clean looking) visual mods are: clear corners ($30), paint the rear diffuser area black (>$10), and wheel spacers (~$250, cheaper if buy used). Here's what spacers and diffuser paint would look like: https://g35driver.com/forums/6338307-post1504.html

MREV2 if you have the rev-up engine, otherwise just the spacer.
