I think it will look good. For bonus marks in my books, I would wrap the trunk in gloss black, but leave an accent of cf visible. Like leave 2 " of cf on both sides or something. One time I saw a custom graffiti graphic on a carbon fiber hood and I really liked that look (obviously not suitable for a g though)

because some people will want to look different and judging by the picture of the carbon fiber trunk it seems to fit well. it does not look to bad compared to the fiberglass one.

I still dont understand how you will pay for something that doesnt look right
I guarantee you wish you would have done it right after you buy it, you will say you like it but the bad fitment even if its small will look bad and bug you

Will M35x 18" oem rims fit my 2005 G35X?

Just picked up a 2005 G35x and want to put on a set of 18" stock M35X rims, and wondered if they will fit with no issues.
Thanks for your help

Exclamation G35 Lowering Springs!!!!

Okay so i was wondering if I could put on lowering springs (around a one inch drop) without having to buy new struts. I don't have a problem with buying new shocks, but I'm still cheap so yeah. I know some cars shouldn't be lowered beyond certain numbers. I heard on some cars it could make the shocks wear faster and decrease ride quality (but they already ride like there on glass). So would i have to get new shocks, or just 1 inch lower springs.

04 G35 sedan
Aredynamic "nismo style" factory body kit
Standard Suspension
Slight upgrades: Injen CAI, Hyper tech, Plenum spacer, Strut brace, Sways, Damper.


Same year 350z i assume?

How much lower do you think the 350z springs are?

And would I realign the wheels after putting them on?

Just get revised 350z oem springs they'll give you the drop you're looking for. New struts aren't required
