Recommended warranty work that is "Must Do" before my bumper-to-bumper expires?

I have a list of issues that I was putting off having repaired on my 2008 G35x because I want to extend the life of the car and it's equipment as long as possible. (Sticking windows and switches, speaker issues, clicking noises from front axles, etc)

Can the experts on here provide me with a list of any issues that you recommend having addressed before my bumper-to-bumper expires?

Thank you.

try to get your interior trim replaced if they have excessive wear

around the the steering wheel buttons, around the window buttons, hood of the cluster, etc.

I hear something about the sunroof trim or modding can be replaced.

Thats funny, my 07 had speaker issues, clicking nose from front axles also. Plus power steering pump died. I am seriously considering buying an extended warranty.

common issue, it will keep happening again in hot climates. Apparently the g37's have the same issue might as well get it replaced to look nice for a while at least. If you have cracked sunroof trim, any rattles of squeaks get those looked at. Extended warranty doesn't cover rattles or squeaks. Any kind of funnkyness with the transmission(although you should have a longer powetrain warranty) have it looked at too.

Also like others said the door and steering wheel trim, get that done too, esp on 07s. Have rotors checked for warpage, common issue as well. Besides cosmetic stuff and rotor warpage, and trim issues, these cars seem pretty solid.

I have the G35S so different brakes, but I just had brakes done for free due to a service bulletin.

Warped rotors so they machined rotors, new pads, and new hardware designed to cool the brakes better.

Again have them look at replacing scratched trim, steering wheel, gearshift

Mine are only slightly warped. Takes an **** driver like myself to identify, but I assume they will get worse.

What did you say to get them to look at them? How many miles did you have?

Hi! Can someone post a picture of peeling trim. I want to see if my 08 G35x is headed in that direction. Also, what does the fixed version look like?
