Hello all.

I just picked up an '06 6MT it had 39K miles on it and i got her for $15,400. I would say that was a good deal. Next thing on my list to do is tints. i had 15% on my previous altima and cops didn't like that. I am thinking about doing 20 or 25% this time around.

 

Looks good. Nice color combo. Welcome


Unsure what the limit of tint is where you live, but 20 or 25% is still dark so you might still get harassed depending on what the legal limit is

 

thanks i'll be sure to check on that.

 

Welcome to G35Driver

I can look up the tint law for you. What state?

 

Aww thanks for that.. I'm in TN

 

Here you go

mennnn i love this car! this is my 2nd car..i upgraded from a '99 nissan altima.

if i got a mid pipe, would the exhaust note sound a little deeper?

i am going to order led interior lights off of ebay. do you recommend anyone seller?

menn im like a lil kind in a candy store.. i can't wait to drive her.. lol i've been driving everywhere since yesterday...

 

So basically to pull off legal tint on a G with OEM 80% tint on it's windows, you can't go darker than 45% film.

That's too light.


But anyway welcome to the boards Enjoy the car

 

Welcome, BB, a coupe midpipe will help a little, an 03/04 muffler a bit more, and an HKS rear section a bit more yet. Read up, lots of choices.

 

hey guys my rotors and calipers have rust on them. apparently the dealer had the g just sitting there for months.. what would be the most cost effective way of getting this fixed?

 

^Wire brush and high-temp paint

 

Beautiful car. The exact color combo I want when I upgrade! (unless I find the perfect IP (white) 6MT)

As far as the exhaust... There is a HUGE thread on the exhaust choices for these cars. I have Test pipes, nismo y-pipe, coupe middy, and HKS rear section.. .IMHO it's too loud!! I"d recommend High Flow Cats, an HR Y-pipe, coupe middy, and HKS rear section. All of this in the end will end up costing you around $700.. so you could piece it together over time.

As far as tint? Just go with 20%... it's light enough that you can see through it in the day time (aka the cops don't look twice in the day time) and dark enough that when there isn't a lot of light out... it's PLENTY dark... I've had 20% on my cars for 5 years now (in Indiana), and never been bothered. I've even had periods of having limo tint. I've only had one tint ticket and it was when I actually tinted the entire windshield (dumb).

And the brakes? Just drive the car.. it'll wear itself down.. no worries

 

mann i really love the look of this G!!


is the owner here?

looks like he has 20% tints too... i will be on the hunt for those m45 wheels

 

M45 wheels are the ****. I prefer them over the usually OEM ray's 19's. Much harder to find though. I think that actually is a member on here if I remember from browsing.

Here's a picture of my 20% tint when it was a bone stock car. (5% on rear glass)
5% on the rear glass is a good way to make your entire car darker without attracting a lot of attention... it lets less light inside, yet it's not a piece of glass the cops can meter



Then the tinted windshield:

 

Honestly that price sounds extremely cheap for an 06. I would be very skeptical if they sold the car for that cheap.
