Just introducing myself here, got a silver '03 6MT sedan yesterday with sport, aero, and premium package. I think it is an 03.5 because it doesn't have the doggie door. So far the car is really nice and has more power and better handling than I was expecting from a 4 door! Once I find a decent large parking lot I'm going to turn off the ole VDC and practice some counter steering. My biggest gripe is definitely the clutch pedal effort (my first thread on the board was asking a question about it). This pedal makes the one on my old Viper GTS feel like a Civic. Need to do some searching to see if any mods can help with that a bit. The gear whine is also super loud - does this thing have straight cut gears or what? Someone in my area is selling the 18" wheels off a new IS350 for pretty cheap and I think they might fit. I've never done much in the way of wheels before - could I replace the center caps to get rid of that darn 'L', or is going with Lexus wheels such a no-no that I shouldn't even have asked?

The lexus wheels have a smaller center hub than the G so they won't fit. sorry.

Welcome,me and my 04G Sedan just had our first anniversary,and I still can't stop looking at it.

The people on this site are great and very helpful at troubleshooting or just general advice.Post a pic if you can,enjoy your ride.

If you have brand new tires I personally would switch to Nitrogen.Why? Do a search on this site first as opinions are widely varied.This site is loaded with info and of course...opinions.

Thanks guys. I can post pics if you like, but it's bone stock with just a moderate tint so nothing too exciting! I'll take some this weekend after I do the old wash and wax.

Welcome! I never got tired of my first G and I grieved when I sold her. The new one is a joy as well but I do still miss my baby girl sometimes.

take my advice, it seems like members on here hate chrome wheels but love the staggard look. Oh and use the search button before you ask anything, I've been guilty of both........ oops
