Finally, after 2 years of being a member and procrastinating - I finally bought a 2nd generation G35x. Glad to be a member of this great car community.

A few quick pics:






I will post more pics once I get to clean it myself. The car lots "detailing" center is/was a joke and don't know car detailing from there left nut. But anyway, enjoy what I do have. Nothing more then a stock car you've all seen before

First mods:
Tint
lip spoiler
OEM chin spoiler
Z wheels

 

Nice grab man. Did you get a good deal? Can't wait to see your mods come together.

 

Congrats on the purchase!! We all here to help you!

 

I think so. It still books at $22K and I got it for $17K. One local owner, bought at Glenn Infiniti in Lexington where I live.

Thanks!

 

nice! Congrats

How many miles?

 

Looks stunning!

 

Nice man, bought mine there as well. I love my X !

 

happy modding!

 

What color is yours? I see a black one over aroubd Tatescreek Rd all the time. It's modded some.

70k

 

Welcome to the G community! Looks like you have a nice list so far. Over time you plan on doing more?

 

Yea, I do plan on doin more. But that's the stuff I want to do right away.

I also want to de-badge it, and black out all the chrome. I think I'll have a friend of mine vinyl wrap the pieces. I also need to refinish the ugly peeling interior pieces.

 

So, when I purchased the car it had the burnt out LED problem within the tail lamp assemblies. Me knowing that people on here has had that problem before and they've had to have them replaced under warranty, I knew that I needed to work out in the purchase agreement to have them replaced in order for me to purchase the car. They accepted and finally got them replaced today for freeeee (since im out of my factory warranty)

PICS:



After replaced:




The LED's that are off in the first pic would randomly flicker when on. It was embarassing to drive such a nice car around with half working tail lights. Oh, and when they checked them last weekend to see what the problems were, the dumb asses left the passenger side turn signal hanging out in the trunk So I drove around a week without a passenger turn signal. All fixed now though and I am thankful



On a side note, since the 07 models does not have iPOD hook up, has anyone ever tried these kits? Im seriously thinking about buying one to try it out.




In the next couple of weeks I am getting my Z wheels powder coated so I will need to purchase new tires soon. I read over the threads talking about staggered wheels on an X model and know what I need to do for it to work properly. Im confused on finding the correct tires though, but think I have found a correct way to find the measurements.

For these OEM wheels the specs are:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18
Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

I went to http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp and used the calculator to play around with the sizes. So far I have these measurements.

Front wheels: Keep the 225/45R18 with a diameter of 25.97"

Rear wheels: Change the size to 245/40R18 and the diameter is very close at 25.71"

Can someone please give me some input if Ive done this correctly? Im new at staggered setups and using them on a AWD vehicle.

 

Another thing, I purchased all LED replacements for my interior lights yesterday. Cant wait!

As soon as this weather clears up i'm taking my car in to have a paint restoration detail done. Hopefully this will help fix the neglect to the exterior by the previous owner since 2007. Ill have tons of pics!

 

Don't forget to remove all the Chrysler/Dodge dealer decals off of the G.

 

That will happen along with theemblems (minus Mt.Fuji) when it is detailed.
