Waiting to hear back how much that would be. Dang but my impatience is gonna cost me $$$.

GeauxG35 I just went to Infiniti.com and did a build & locate on our specific car. The only one that came up was oddly enough, my car (VIN#) at my local dealer so they apparently haven't updated. I also searched all dealer inventory within 150 mi. of where I am and could find no exact matches. You could always go out of territory, fly cheaply and drive it back if you can find one.

Well the tread pattern is very different. I've so far had great traction w/ the NCT5. With all of the torrential rain we've had here the past 3 weeks in socal, I must say these have performed great for summer tires. Only saw the slip light a couple of times and held up well against hydroplaning (45MPH up to 65MPH) during relatively heavy downpours.
I'm still waiting for people to chime in on their findings for this particular tire.

Great pics, Rhino.
No, I'm with you on the package. I had originally ordered the full aero kit (not just the aero package (spoilers + diffusers) but dropped it in the last day or so once I saw pics of it and didn't care for it. Just the aero package for me now. The only difference from yours will be I've added splash guards (available once I dropped the aero kit) and the sunroof wind deflector.

Rhino,
Welcome to the forum! Just a quick question. Considering you were driving the 6 speed TL, why did you opt for an auto G35? Was it because you needed to get into another car right away and no MT G35s were available, or was there a different concern or consideration? You live in a beautiful part of the country (my brother was in Matthews - Charlotte for nearly 20 years) and the roads are generally in great condition. You would have loved the G35 6MT. JUst curious.
