killerlexus, it seems that stupidity and ignorance is your moto. Suit yourself and pay retail for all your purchases!

try everythingg35.com, grubbs, for fi - avalon racing or superchargersforless. or sometimes, right here on this forum. rims can be fun, try wheelsnext. picked up my rims w/tires and hubcentric rings (the little plastic piece) for 14 and change - mounted, balanced and shipped.

By the way, killer, I did a search for your previous posts, and by the one below, I could not agree more with my statement:

"you are going to write a letter about the seat causing you pain in the right leg? wtf! why dont you have a lawyer call them and sue for back problems because the seat arent as comfy as a benz.... "

Honestly, man, you sound like a real penny pincher. I think if you found a brand new turbo for $2000, you'd try and talk it down to $1995. Sounds like you should have done research on this stuff before you committed to buying a G35 in the first place.

The G 35 was a lot cheaper than the Cobra that I had, and I spent thousands modding the Cobra. I think that you identify yourslef with Killerlexus. It is not How much you spend, but how well you spend it.

you know, i have a similar view. maybe he's coming on too strong about never paying full price, and always haggling over a better deal. but how many times do we see guys paying $1200 for cams, $5000 for superchargers, $60 for clear corners, $350 for sway bars, and so on? he's a little behind the power curve, i've been researching parts since 6 months before i bought my g. that would make it 2 1/2 years. and i still learn from the fellows here at g35driver and other forums. i guess i'm not looking hard enough...

Exactly Jasper! We spent thousands of dollars of mods, which is fine, but who in their right mind would pay more, when a better deal can be had? How do you think that Dell and Bill Gates, made it? The mark-up on some of these parts are 100,'s %. I have worked for several car dealers, and the markup on accessories is outrageous.

For exmaple, I just bought another car for my wife. When I was in the F/I dept, they wanted to sell me an alarm for $499.99, guess what their cost was: $189!!! A touch of Class paint sealant, retail is $599.00, dealer cost = $100.00! Get the picture. Sure there are very few fools out there who would pay retail or even close to that, and I pity those people.

The problem that I am having, is that I have never paid retail for anything, and I think that it is an insult to do so.
I bet not one of you paid MSRP for your G35, and if you did, I really feel sorry.

Something about all this rubs me the wrong way. I'm all for getting a good deal, but if you paid the listed price that doesn't make you an idiot.

Lots of hostility on the boards recently, why not just point him to the most frequented G35 parts sites...

www.everythingg35.com

www.performancenissanparts.com

www.grubbsperformance.com

If I'm not allowed to post these links, just delete my post mod

Because that's not what he asked for.
