Hello!

I recently (a month and a half ago) just purchased my G35. It is a 2003 White G35 sedan. The pictures I am including in this post are from when I just purchased it (evident from the temporary plates). So far all I have done is adding tint to it.The pictures provided are before I had the tint put on. I'll have to post new pictures later, as I am stuck at my work desk right now.

It has the (fake) wood trim on the inside, which I am not to crazy about. I will be replacing the trim on the inside (hopefully) by the end of summer. As a 21 year old college student, I am working with a limited budget. Not to mention a major time constraint while juggling 18 credit hours on top of my job.

Some future mods I would also like to add are:
  1. Black roof overlay
  2. New set of rims with a larger size set of tires
  3. A few performance mods

Welcome. Car looks clean. Is the passenger side headlight new or is it just the way the picture looks?

I am not to sure. I recognized the difference in the two after buying it. I took some compound to the right one with a buffer, which made it slightly less noticeable. Do you have any suggestions on how to go about restoring it more without having to buy a whole new headlight unit? Do you think smoking both of them out or using an overlay on it will reduce the visual difference between the two?

I read in another post recently that the best way to fix our headlights is, go to an autobody shop and have them buff the lights and then cover them with a clearcoat. I have sanded and buffed and plastX'ed them a few times. They look good for a while but I find myself doing all over again a few months later.
