Ya real smart...

I just got my engine replaced due to OC. Why sell a car with a brand new engine?

Im selling my G35 parts for about twice as much as Im buying the replacement G37 parts for.

Ive obviously have money stuck into my car, why part it out and lose money?

I dont care for the rear of the G37s, so I get the front and rear that I like

Not like Id ever buy a brand new car(biggest financial waste of money anyone could ever make) but I dont feel like paying out the *** on car payments for a newer car when I can make mine look like one, while enjoying doing it.

Most of all.... I enjoy doing bodywork.

Thanx for you concern about my financial decisions with my hobby....

Basically the fenders fit in the same spot but none of the edges meet. I think Im gonna cut the fenders in half above the wheel arch and graft them together. There will still need to be work done up by the pillar even if I do that. The G37 hood is like 1" wider so Ill either have to graft the G37 hood edge of the fender onto the G35 fender or fab all new metal for that area.

I have to set up shipping next week so I can get the hood here.
