Bought This 04 6MT Sedan - have questions

Bought this sedan at GA Best Car Deals for $14500. It is an 04 with Aero & Sports package and 46k miles. Was this a good deal? Also is this the way the sedan came from factory or has there been any exterior modifications? After 6 months of reading reviews and going back and forth between Audi A6's, BMW 330's and the G35 I finally decided on this car and want some thoughts from the experts.

Eveything looks good! Except I don't think you don't have the aero package. Great deal anyway.

Aero package, it looks like it has the stock factory bumper. Search Nismo kit to see what the aero bumper looks like. But yeah it still seems like a good deal and welcome to the driver

You don't have the aero package... This is the aero front bumper....


You got a great deal though. I bought mine in Sept last year, $14,000 with 85,000 miles and it was stock like yours.

There are plenty mods you can do to your car. Click the link in my signature for some...

Thanks for the answers!!! I will prolly do some small body mods & brakes nothing too drastic. I think they are pretty sweet stock and it is a hell of alot of fun to drive.

I would do a suspension before brakes. What is your price range? A BBK can get expensive. Although Megan Racing BBK and Wilwood have cheap prices compared to some other companies. With the money you save you can get TEIN Basics.

How much difference will I feel with tein basics versus stock? And will they lower it any? You have to understand I have never done any mods ever and am a total noob. I have done countless searches on most of the mods I am considering but since this is going to be basically a daily driver not a racer or show car I'm not going to spend a ton of money modding it.

Does your G come with the Premium or Navigation package? Mine comes with the Premium (includes heated seats, dual-zone A/C, rear seat recline, auto-dimming and HomeLink mirror, Bose sound system). I got my 2003.5 G for $16K with 41,000 miles in Sept. 2006.

Has anybody ever used the light smoke tinted vinyl that is sold on ebay over their head and/or tail lights? If so how does it hold up? Ordered some JDM clear corners yesterday - let the modding begin.

There are a few people that use vinyl for overlays. Not sure about the ebay stuff. One person who I hang out with from the forums (black_sedan https://g35driver.com/forums/member.php, his are holding up fine. He cut them himself.

You can also do Bat overlays... he is a guy on the forums who sells miscellaneous cutouts for every vehicle... this is his profile https://g35driver.com/forums/members/10659-blue_batmobile.html and this is his website http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/
