Thats the only exterior improvement!

OEM 03/04 skirts are ugly. If you say you like them, you are too lazy/cheap to get them painted. I would know.

Whatever! I've seen plenty in person. (There are ~387,000 G35 Sedans in Tallahassee LOL) and the two flaws that IMMEDIATELY draw my attention are un-painted lower sills and hazed headlights.

yeah I guess thats what I was thinking of..lol

I can just think of so many better ways to spend the amount of money it would cost to buy new front and rear bumpers and have them professional painted along with the side skirts...I mean thats got to be at least $1000 to do it right...lots of things on my to buy list ahead of that

Depends who you know I guess. Paint work for my costs very little.

Get some's painted parts don't look half bad. He actually pulls off a stock body very well.

That's a great idea!!! Me, Steve, Jorge and others can post up our matched sides... you can complain... then we can all get in a big argument and get this thread locked AGAIN.... yes, sounds like fun.

Not even close. Most get it done for 300-400.
I got mine done and swapped to an 05/06 bumper, and had it repainted and the roof done in black all for under $1000, but I have connections

Bumper ------------------------------------------ $159.95
Shipping ---------------------------------------- $80.95
Mudguards --------------------------------------- $100.00
Sell of old Mudguards --------------------------- ($70.00)
Paint (inc gray side/front parts) --------------- $200.00
------------------------------------------------------------
Subtotal ---------------------------------------- $470.90
------------------------------------------------------------
+Black Roof Paint (nothing to do with bumper) --- $100.00
------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL ------------------------------------------- $570.90
