Curb Weight is the weight of car with no driver or passengers, but with a full tank of fuel and all other fluids. Optional equipment is not always included, so most cars and trucks on the road weigh more than the manufacturer's published curb weight.
Gross Weight is the loaded weight, as driven. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum GVW at which the vehicle can be safely operated. This figure is usually found on a plate near the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

Hold on here. Don't you guys think 3,500lbs car is considered a light car to drive around? A normal weight car is from 3,000lbs to 3,300lbs. Below 3,000lbs is considered light weight and anything more than 3,300lbs is considered heavy. Don't you guys know that Mercedes SL65 V12 twin turbo lost to Z06 Corvette in 1/4 mile run because the SL65 is heavy as **** with 1,500lbs more than the Vette even though it has 100hp more than the Vette?
Increasing hp is not enough, lighten the car with more hp is the best solution for both daily drive and racing. So any smart guys here want to tell me the weight loss plan for G35 ?

That's why when i do mods, they are proressional and don't inlude ANYTHING stick on or the such.
If I do this mod, along with some custom lighting, it will not be cheap crap. For the fender vents i will purchase the entire two body panels, then have them cut and fabricated and painted...then installed.
As with all of my customs in the past...it has to look factory or better. Or I wont do it.
Just my .02.

The only thing about side markers is, from the NHTSA:
Side marker lamps annually prevent 106,000 accidents, 93,000 nonfatal injuries and $347 million in property damage.
The lamps have not been effective In reducing fatalities
They add $21 to the lifetime cost of owning and operating motor vehicle.
Just some stats...

I don't think side vents go well with any cars that are meant to look more curvey then boxy. Dodge's look great with them, especially the chargers because those cars are meant to look more like a boxy sports car then something curvy and rounder.
Infiniti tried doing this on the new FX and I think everyone agrees that it just looks ugly. I say if you can make one that compliments the curves of the g35, something more discrete then what you showed there in the photoshop then go for it otherwise it will look out of place imo.
