What month did the G officially become a 2003.5 model?
What tweaks were made?
What do I look for to ensure I get the .5 model?

It was around October/November of 2002 that they started showing up on dealer lots. Just look at the trunk. If the INFINITI name stretches across a clean trunklid with NO exterior trunk release handle, it's a 2003.5. If the INFINITI name is squashed into a small boxed-in area that does have an external trunk latch, it's a 2003. For other changes, check out the thread Differences between 2003 and 2003.5 models.

You can tell with a quick look...

2003 on the left, 2003.5 on the right.

BTW..these G's belong to builder1 and sedanman respectively. Did a little cut and paste to post the side by side pic.

Now that you posted them side by side, it accentuates the diff btween stock and aftermarket(?) wings.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Builder1's wing is more subtle and understasted. They're both nice and I had one on my Sedan, but builder1's is sweet.
I also like the job you did of posting side by side. I'm fairly new at this computer stuff and haven't done C&P, (yet).

Well, from the amount of time you spend on the board, it sure looks like you have the time to learn. [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

ahahahahaha

..pestilence..

 

Also notice the rear under bumper is a darker shade of gray on the 2003.5 model. This (obviously) applies to all of the lower plastic sills. It's quite noticable from a 3/4 view in sunlight.
