recently purchased silver 2003 g35

Hey guys, recently bought a 2003 auto g35 with 59500 miles. Bought it from original owner who worked from his house so I was super stoked about the miles. Everything is stock besides the rims Came with navigation and the aero package. I have always thought the G was the sexiest car with the best stock exhaust sound you can buy new for under 50k. First thing I am going to do is get the clear non bump side makers and paint the brake calipers red. I am also going to get some 18 rays and powder coat them. Let me know what you think about the whip.

congrats, i vote no on red calipers.
also the rear bumper and sides look repainted so i would look for damage under them or around them

looks good! I agree with the exhaust note - it's lovely

You shouldn't have any problems finding OEM wheels on here, they are always up for sale.

Welcome to DRIVER, great job finding a low mileage 6 MT coupe! Your coupe looks perfect, the previous owner had good taste. Red calipers, please don't! You want the attention on your G not focused on the calipers....Gary

Welcome. Good deal on a low mileage G. Post some more pics when you get the mods completed.

hahaha @crazynuts16, your tripping, the entire car is the same color, no damage, maybe the photoshop aspect of the picture is playing tricks on you! Anyways after the negative response on red calipers, I have decided not to do it. Probably not going to do a lot of mods, I really like the G stock, but if you have any suggestions of must do mods let me know.

I don't have this but also have a stock 05 coupe AT and am really considering adding this.
Transgo shift kit, from what people say it shines during agressive driving, chirping tires from 1-2 and 2-3 and is normal for regular driving.

OP to clear this up, take another pic where the car is in complete sunlight lol. Your gas tank and rear bumper is darker but it could be a shadow. But to me it looks like it is a different color.

I used G2 caliper paint. Easy to use and holds up well.
