Man, it feels great to see a project come together like this. I know its not the fastest, the wildest, or the "sickest" G35 out there - but ITS MINE!!!!! Done the way i like, and man it feels like a $1,000,000.00 when im cruisin; through town!
Congrats on a great looking car and excellent taste.

Thanks for all the comments!
Pearl is a chick color - good thing ive got Ivory Pearl!
As for pricing - ill let 350zforums tell you the prices of the parts. All parts are replicas. With that said, the shop that performed the job said that the parts all fit well - but needed some work. however, they also said, that most kits need work - replica or not - so it wasnt an issue. The paint was an issue because its Pearl Paint - and the matching (esp on IP) is tricky. they actually blended the entire car (-roof & rear quarters) to make it look "almost perfect." The fenders required some serious effort, but in the end, it all turned out really well imho.
Total cost - approx. 2200 and change + 2 cases of Beer for the workers!
The mesh was provided by www.customautomesh.com - Looks Great! Great Prices!
Also, the Watch is a custom made Aqua Master.....2 Karrots worth of Diamonds!

That's a great looking car 
The exact combo I've had in my head.
Like the all white rear bumper too.
Good to see proof that these replica kits are OK after all the arguments on here that had become tiresome.
We should be able to import and license Skylines down here in Aust in 3 weeks (at last !!) so I will be on the lookout for my own IP coupe soon.
