Very nice car and love that color. You guys have a great yard too! I am so jealous.

As for the spoilers - I think it is a personal choice. We choose to, some choose not to. To each his own. I won't make anyone put one on as long as no one tries to make me take mine off. Deal?

The main reason that I refuse to lower my new (to me) G35 is because I dod all that a few years ago with a 1998 BMW M3 sedan. Man, it was almost slammed with Koni's, Hammann wheels, Pilot Sport tires, Borla exhaust, lip spoiler, and rolled fenders to run the wider wheels w/o rubbing. It was sweet and very cool...and I lost my butt when I traded it. Plus, realistically I had to watch dragging the car over every speed bump and up every driveway in Texas!! That was then, this is now.

I am going to do some light work to my new car. I plan to put 18" or 19" wheels on it, and perhaps paint the ugly chrome doorhandles and flat black plastic skirts Brilliant Silver...and maybe an Stillen exhaust, but that's all.

Oh my God...here I go again!!!!

Thanks Cheryl, but I am jealous too, you have your own G and Trey has his . My wife has the G and I have the truck (Even though I get to drive it most of the time )
As to our yard, we really enjoy it. It is on the outskirts of a small town and we get occasional visitors like deer, fox, wild turkeys and other wildlife. No hectic pace here.

People have said the same about my Coupe, but I barely clear the driveway as is.

Won't lower the G35 because:

-Don't want to hit any speed bump
-Looks great the way it is, perfect clearance
-Don't want to adjust driving on the road to I make sure I didn't scrape anything under the vehicle

i lowered my car 1.5" in the front and 1.0" in the rear...
i dont have any problems on speeds bumps and dont have to adjust driving on the road.
I think its all about the fender gap..
the car always looks better and more aggressive in my opinion when its lower.

GEE35x,
I too live in the sticks. One morning I was heading up our driveway when I saw what I thought was a large dog "bouncing" in the driveway. I thought to myself what the heck is that dog doing....well actually it was two wild turkeys having an intimate moment! I felt bad I interupted them......Gotta love wilderness : )
