Want Some Opinions From More "Seasoned" G35 Drivers

^ Just glue.. There is a DIY somewhere here, you can search if you want. What I did was use dental floss and a blow dryer to heat up the glue around each letter, then use the floss to pull it off.. You also may want to use goo off after to get the remaining residue off... Then give it a good wash and wax! GL and post pics.

Get rid of those rims first of all. I don't really like them but that's my opinion.
Get lighter flywheel and clutches and a get lighter rims and get a true short shifter. leave engine stock. it will be most reliable and rewarding in the long run that way.
If you do all those, i bet you could shave half a second or so from your 0-60.
IMO, G35's look best the way they are. Body kits, and what not just makes it tacky IMO.
The only thing I did was debadging the rear because I accidentally pressure washed the emblem to hard and it started to peel.

if you go with a lighter flywheel, you'll get a rattle at idle since the stock flywheel is dual balanced and the new one will not be. I went with the nismo flywheel after I replaced my clutch to cut down on the install costs and my rattle is pretty minimal, however the lighter you go, the more rattling you'll get.
As for your clutch, I don't know if there is a huge need for anything above stock. If you do plan on keeping the engine stock, you should have no problem with the stock clutch adn pressure plate. Mine is still holding up well and I've been boosted almost a year now so you shouldnt have any slipping problems.

Agreed. I'm not doing much else besides that. Painting the grille and headlight housings will pretty much be it.
