New G owner with some questions

Hey guys I'm the proud new owner of a 2003.5 Garnet Fire Sedan. I want to mod my G but being a college student and all I'm kind of short on money. Right now I'm saving up for some Sevas S-22s but after that I am looking into the Nismo kit. I was thinking about just getting the front bumper and painting the rest of the panels but I was wondering if the side skirts and rear bumper from the 05/06 sedans would fit on the 03/04 sedans. If you guys have any mods that aren't too expensive it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Matt

congrats, definitely the aero bumper (I like the whole kit--sides and rear under spoiler). However, tiresmoke has just the front with painted sides/rear.

for inspiration

The 05/06 side skirts will fit and that would save you money if you can find a set in Garnet Fire but I think painting your sides and rear wouldn't be a bad idea either. On darker color cars you don't really notice the suddle difference in the Nismo side sills and your factory painted sills but I recommend getting the nismo rear apron it just completes the whole look of the front end. As far as the Sevas they are a beautiful wheel but you will probably have to do a slight fender roll in the rear due to the +40 offset if you go staggard but if you go with the 20x8.5 on all 4 corners you'll be fine.

I got a fever! And the only prescription, is more Nismo!

I definetly went into the whole possibility of a G35 fully knowing i would have to spend the $2k or so to get the Nismo kit.

Luckily by some miracle i was able to find one with nismo already on in the color/interior i wanted with a 6MT

I disagree; obviously on lighter color Gs the dark lowers contrast more. However, the dark blue and black Gs may have a closer match in terms of color with the factory sills, but they do NOT match in terms of shine and reflectivity. The aerokit sills are WET with shine and the fact. sills are flat and nasty. Plus the aerokit sills (side-sills) flare out near the fender wells and are thin in the middle.
