The look of the first gen
Not sure about when the car is stock height, but the curve above the trim sticks out more than the trim... if someone opens a door on my car, their door will still ding up mine, and wouldn't even come close to the door trim. Some help against door dings...
I try to keep my car clean and original, but your pics was one reason why I painted my door trim... (the JDM window visors was the other reason)

I agree with the chrome-like trunk lip... however it looks good body color. Tustin Infiniti had several that were body color and I thought the manufacturer came to there senses, but it appears they had them painted after-market... for the 04s they had some of the emblems black-chromed (that’s were I got my contact) - they seem to know what looks good.
As for "bloated" I disagree... I think the coupe looks pudgy, but the sedan looks sleek and stylish to me.
I don’t know what Crown Vics you've been driving, but the G is nothing like it... however, the 07 sedan I drove had a useless screen - the contrast could not be set high enough to see the thing in the day time.
Honestly I think anyone that drives an 07+ and a pre-07 would be less that truthful if they said the 07 is not superior.
And of course I have an 04... take your bias out of the equation and I'm sure you would see the truth. The current sedan is the only one that I would even consider trading for (and I did for a minute)... I'm so far into modding this car that I'm not gonna trade until I finish the ideas I have.
If/when its time for another car - if I stay with a Nissan it will be the 370 (or 390)Z... unless Infiniti finally releases a turbo G. Otherwise its gonna be a muscle car.
Anyway - 07+ are overall a better car than pre-07 and anyone with an once of ability to evaluate a car would agree.

In my case, I really like how the the door trim, handles, and bright-finish on the cpe 19s work together or compliment each other........
If I did blk it out, I would have to do the handles, and the grill and debadge the rear and I just don't have the energy........
I like the look of Dave B's car.

05/06 > 03/04 though....
OK fine, they're both hot.
I am the opposite. I have always thought the sedans were hideous, especially the first gen. The new ones actually are not too bad, especially when you consider the interior and power.
Not the only one man. I prefer the 03/04 hoods better myself.
