Bought a Crashed G35 - Auction Rebuild

Hi All,

I am back with a newly-acquired 2003 G35 Coupe, it is wrecked and will be rebuilt 100% by myself.

Can you please help me point out features/aftermarket parts on the car to check when it arrives or to notice or anything of potential value in these photos?

It should be delivered to me some time this week. Thank you!

Well it's got the Kinetix upper plenum so you won't need to buy a plenum spacer. Also has factory Brembo's.

I would take the front off and give it a good inspection to see how hard it got into the crash bar, it ripped the upper composite frame/radiator support so it got hit pretty freaking hard. It's got aftermarket front LED lights will are usually ****, keep your eyes open for a good set of the projector OEM HID's from the 2006-2007 coupe.

You'll probably need an entire front end off a donor car. My guess is the previous owner ran into a concrete ecology block or something, I doubt it was another vehicle. Did the advertisement say anything about airbag deployment? If they didn't go off that's good because it's 4 fewer expensive components you'll need to buy.

Personally I would use THIS CAR as the donor and buy another one with a blown up engine for cheap and use that chassis.

Here is a photo of interior. No airbag deployment. I was hoping all I would really need is headlights, grill, bumper, and core/radiator support. Bend fenders back into shape. DO you think that is possible?

It's impossible for me to tell from those photos.

No problem, Thanks for the replies. It seems like G35driver is not as responsive as it used to be!

I should hopefully get the car delivered today so I can start to tear it down.
