I am thinking about getting the G35 coupe. I was looking over the options, and I was wondering which options are worth getting and which are better installed after the purchase (i.e. third party).

Looking at the options, I'm thinking about the premium package and the DVD navigation system for sure. However, I am not too sure about the premium wheel and aero kit.

Any comments?

 

If you are into other than factory, look at aftermarket kits for the body! Check out the veilside and impul kits!
The G is a classy car itself, do not mess up the looks!!

well for a 2003 the tire and wheal package is definitely worth it for only $650. You get the 18 inch rims and performance wheels, limited slip diferential, and the interior titanium finish. Worth it IMO, but for the 2004s that increased to $900, not as good a deal but still good.

IMO the titanium finish is essential for the car. At least I can't imagine the interior without that finish.

The aero package is up to you. You can get better aftermarket ones.

 

if you get the 6mt, many things come with it. from what i've read, if you're into a better stereo, get it after market.

i'd get the sunroof. i'm not a NAV or homelink person.

 

My car (5AT):

Premium Package - like the other guy said, there are better aftermarket stereo systems, but the 6-disc in dash changer is adequate. I'll never use the heated seats here in So.Cal, but the sunroof/moonroof w/ 1-touch is sweet (I drove a covertible before, by the way).

Wheel/Tire Package - This in my opinion, is a must unless you've already got plans to put aftermarket wheels/tires on your baby.

Nav System - I've never had a nav system before, so I went for it on the G. It's a pretty nice nav system, not as good as Lexus or Acura, but getting this option gives you the info/gas/mileage indicator (as a function the nav).

I didn't get the aero package because I didn't like the spoiler. I love the front lip spoiler, and may get it at some point but right now I'm thinking the entire Impul kit looks pretty nice.

Why do you not like the Nav as much as the acura, my brother has an acura and its pretty damn good, I have not seen the G one yet, but an a BIG nav fan, and hope its good on the G when I get mine!

Defitenly get the Wheel package. For only $650 it's worth it. You could always sell it after for $1,500 The G-35 Sedan guys or Some 350Z Guys are drooling over those wheels......

Wheel package is a MUST!!! I cannot stress how beautiful the 18s look compared to the 17s. Just make sure you dont get conned into getting the chromies - $2000 extra!! Its insane.

As for titanium interior that comes with it, it doesnt really catch my eye all that much compared to normal. Be careful with the console - it gets scratched VERY VERY easily. Same with kicking your door open near the speaker - i've seen so many scuffs in that area that just DO NOT COME OUT no matter how hard you scrub or shine.

Otherwise, premium package is cool - you cant find one without it anyways. Nav is too much for me, i dont htink its worth the $2k. All weather floor mats $200 is decent if you really live in bad weather. At my dealership, we offer professionally painted gunmetal emblems - it looks SO NICE but it seriously is a rip - $800 for gunmetal emblems.....unbelievable.
