Stick to the 04 or get an 07??

Hey guys I need some opinions and advice. At the moment I have a 04 DP 5AT coupe. I've owned it for about a 1.5 years. I love my car from the exterior but It kills me everytime I get in to drive the car. The interior is starting to annoy me alot. With the squeaky driver seat and the common rip from the handle. The orange dash lights and the cheap radio trim. My moms 04 sienna XLE has a nicer interior then my car!!! I planned on going FI on the near future but I recently test drove an 07 coupe and have fallen in love with the redesign. I have the tan interior and test drove a black on black one. I've seen some 07 with less then 50k miles for under $22k in the Houston area. So my question is wether its worth selling mine and getting a newer one? My current mods include: clearcorners, intake and intake plenum, kenstyle rear, data lip, pioneer screen and pioneer component speakers all around. Thanks guys

The only mods I can take off are the cc, intake parts and lip. And I want a newer nav screen on my next car. But I'm looking to get the sport 07 coupe and with that there is no need for a lip

I did but i won't be able to afford modding cuz most of my mods are bought off of the marketplace and there's alot of sellers. The g37 drives amazing and looks goods but it's all down to how much mods will end up costing.

Yah but will it be easy to find used parts. Cuz that's how I modded my g35 and I really don't want to pay more for brand new, plus I think the 07 g35 is more in my budget range

Go for it! Get the '07 and swap all the parts, then sell the '04.

i use to have an 04 6mt coupe and loved it. then it started to burn oil so i got rid of it and got a 2007 6mt coupe. i must say i absolutly love my new car 100X beter than my old one. it is soooo much nicer. the only thing i dont like is that the clutch on the newer one is kinda chinky and soft compared to my old one. but you dont really have to worry about that if you are gonna be getting a 5AT

Personally, I don't think the difference between an '04 and an '07 is significant enough to warrant the cost of the upgrade.

If you want to upgrade to something, I'd consider the G37.... at least that will be a significant change. Personally, I absolutely hate the exterior styling of the G37 in comparison to the G35, but aside from that and the fact that it's slightly heavier... the G37 is pretty much superior to the G35 in all other ways.
