Yet another: picked up my 05 thread
Yes folks... i'll add this to all other same "picked up my 05" threads. 
Well this one makes #2. So as of now I have 2 G35 coupes one is 03 the other is 05.
Well we all know what we love, and i know what i like about the G since i had one for 2 yrs. So here is what i dont like about the 05 vs my 03.
- Being 6'4" my 03 fit me nicely. However 05... is not the same. I dunno why... but my head hit the roof to a point that if i dont recline the back a lot more then i'm use to i will be constantly touching the roof.
- Guy told me it will have SAT radio in it.... it didnt
- May be cause its still new its not fully broken in, but my 03 with 17s feels like it puls harder then the 05 with 19s ((yes i know 19s are bigger, but feels like its way slower))
- No new car smell... dunno why or what happen to it... but i want it.
Only smell i get now.. is brakes and engine plastic
But i think biggest issue right now is the fitment. I'm going back to the dealer on Monday to see if they can adjust the seat down more a bit. (i'm not even sure if its possible)
Slight rant..... When i went to the dealer... i ordered 05 BASE with only sport package (19s) nothing else. Well dealer said yea we can get it for you. Then a week later they called up saying no car sorry take something more expensive. So now i had to get the whole 9 yards... which i completly dont need or want. Oh well guess you cant win them all.
FOR THOSE who want to know what mods will be done.... well ... its getting moded tomorrow morning.
I would do it tonight... but too tired.

yes both coupes have sunroof. But like i said the 03 has more.... 05 has less. I even had few people sit and compare the 2. 
still dont get it why.
all i know this is gonna cause a big problem when i'm gonna wear a helmet on the track.
