I should take some pics of my interior and show you how many mismatches of blacks there are - not includung the new door pannel. But I see your point, there are other here who do trash the car and they need to be elswhere. Mine is more of a rant than anything.

...and don't think that I have not ranted about my RX330 to the dealer also - we've had some heated discussion over this car and I'm well hated there

 

That's too bad, my '04 was the Graphite interior, and it was okay too. You have to remember, I came from years of driving Fords, last was a '00 Mustang GT vert, and by comparison, this car is great, especially the '05. If you complained about a rattle to Ford, they would just say "that's the way it's built, nothing we can do".

 

I have to say though... I have an 04 Chevy Impala as a company vehicle and for all the miles and abuse on it, it's less creaky than my G35. The interior quality leaves a lot to be desired and the fit and finish sucks but at least it's screwed together pretty tightly.

 

Speaking of - can you send me some photos of your 18" rims that you have installed on your X...? Thinking of purchasing a pair if these Infiniti rims for my car and would like to see the results. High resolution photos would be nice and what size tires you are running also.

Send them to my hotmail address if you still have it - if not let me know.
