I got doggy door... with nav, sunroof, reclining rears, and HID. I wonder how much the original owner paid. No aero though.

I am extremely happy so far. I will post a proper introduction once I am able to get some decent pics.

Congrats Neil. Heated seats were an option in adddition to the premium package. Mine is much like yours: every option except nav and butt-warmers.

I am currently shopping for a G35 sedan (specifically, an 03-04), and I have found that it is hard to tell if the headlights are HID through photos. Unless the car ad specifically states that the headlights are HID, I really do not know what to look for by just the picture. Are there any dead giveaways?

I appreciate the help...thanks in advance!

You can ask the seller if they are HIDs before seeing the car.

When there, turn on the headlights. True HIDs will initially glow bluer for a few seconds and gradually settle to a slightly whiter hue when they warm up.
