That makes a lot of sense. And what do you mean by bad form? I also bought some impul side skirts with it but I had to send them back Bc it was impossible to put both sides on it at once was like it was half an inch to short.

Bumper looks like a bad copy. U have a lotta gap under those lights.

I bought my Kuruma bumper and Impul sideskirts from a local guy. I put it on myself and it was an almost perfect fit.

I'd say contact concept z. They're really cool guys and they've always helped me out. I'm not sure what their return or warranty process is after it's bee fitted and painted.
You can send proof of professional installation and maybe they'd do something?

I don’t think they would take it back after drilling holes but also don’t think they will believe it doesn’t fit. They still thought these side skirt would still fit and are restocking but still took them back Bc I didn't drill into them but still had to pay shipping.
Edit: and I sent them those pics too

Those sideskirts are supposed to also get screwed into the door area. That will pull it up and in.

As for it being shorter.....I think youre right. Mine was very slightly short as well but I used a Dremel to shave off some of the plastic on the inside and was able to lay it down flat inside the wheel well area. But doesnt even look like its possible with yours. I gotta see it in person to know for sure though.

So my 03 g35 coupe developed a fuel leak... I believe it is the filler neck... Do I have to drop the rear-end or can I access it through the fender-well ?? My search says I do.. But if I don't have to that would be sweet!

On the ground. After pulling the backseat, I discovered that the previous owner had put to long of screws in the fuel pump retaining ring and poke a hole through a couple holes.... Talked to a local shop and they said to try some tank repair puddy... So I am in the process of letting it dry.. I am also going to make a rubber gasket for mounting ring. If that fails on to a fuel cell...

I let it dry for a couple days. So far the smell is gone. Going to fill up today and see if the putty worked. Fingers Crossed. This is what I used

My front passenger side parking light has been out and had condensation in it since I bought my '06 coupe back in last December. Does anyone know what the part number for that is and how much of a pain in the *** would it be to replace it myself?

Search ebay. Im sure there are a bunch of em. And it can be swapped out in 5-10 minutes. Turn your steering wheel full left. Remove the push rivets forward of the wheel...I think theres 3 of em. Pull the plastic wheel well liner outta the way and your parking light is right there.

Honestly, its probably just easier to fix the one u already have, rather than buying a new one.

Venom are you talking about your side marker lights that are in the front end of each fender? If so grab the back side, side closest to the wheel well, and just pull them out. The bulb can be replaced easily or a brand new housing will just clip right in. To re-install put the front of the housing in first and just push the back end in. Easy peasy…..

Can an entire JDM center radio with navigation screen from an 05-07 coupe fit an 03 g35 coupe? There's one I want to buy later on for my 03 coupe. Are the radio consoles interchangeable for all years regardless of jdm or not.
