what are the differences between the 05 and the 06 G35?
i plan on getting either an 05 or 06 sedan in the near future. i know the 05/06 has major uprades over the 03/04s. but people tell me there arent many differences between the 05 and 06, so im wondering if it would be wise to get the cheaper 05 and save money? i mean if the only differences are minor things like the lights or dashboard then i really dont need an 06
also, i saw this car on autotrader a while back and instantly fell in love lol. not sure what year it is, either a 03 or 04. im not an expert on body kits so can you guys can let me know what kit that is? even though its basic and not anything special, thats the kit i plan on getting.
here are the pics. thanks

Differences are really just in the options if you go premium. I'd do the '05 if it's cheaper, unless it's got the premium package, since you'll get bluetooth with the '06 premium, but not the '05. If it has a DUAL button on the a/c controls, it's premium.
The one pictured is an early '03 due to the doggie door on the trunk.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Bluetooth in the 06 sucks so don't make that a factor in your purchase. 05-06 are virtually identical but the 06 is a year newer. They may still have some factory warranty left.
The 03 has the Nismo kit made specifically for the 03-04 cars. You can get replicas from a couple of our vendors here for the later models.

That takes care of the front bumper. The side skirts are interchangeable across 03-06, so that's not a problem. And the rear can be swapped with a little work
I went 03 to 05 http://www.nfspmotorsports.com/forum...php?topic=28.0

I found in looking at on-line ads the easiest telltale signs to see are the adjustable rear head rests, Bose stereo, a/c vents in the rear of the center console and seat controls on the outside edge of the drivers seat.
