Hello everybody, I just picked up a G35 coupe two days ago and thought I'd share with everyone some pics and hopefully you can help me out with some stuff I've been wondering about.
First off I am going from a lifted Jeep Wrangler to this G35 so its quite a jump for me in several different ways.





I think the color is called athens blue. Is that right?

 

Open the hood and in the passenger side strut tower you'll find a metal plate that says COLOR CODE ( or something like that, I can see the plate in the picture you posted ). It's three characters long ( For example, Desert Platinum is KX6 ).

Here are the codes:

AX6: Laser Red
AY2: Garnet Fire
B16: Medium Blue
B21: Athens Blue
B30: Lakeshore Slate
BW5: Dark Blue Pearl / Twilight Blue Pearl
D10: Green
K23: Liquid Platinum
K32: Serengeti Sand
KH3: Black Obsidian
KX6: Desert Platinum
KY0: Brilliant Silver
QX1: Ivory Pearl
WV2: Diamond Graphite

Although I think some of these might not be correct but close enough.

Good looking car btw.

 

I just looked its B30 so I guess it actually Lakeshore Slate. Thanks!

 

Clean! It would look sick with some 20" burning black vsxx and a drop. Congrats

 

Wooooo!!!!!!!! another lakeshore Slate brotha!!!! hahaha

good choice in color.. lol...

hope to see some tastefull mods come to it..

coils and Wheels!!!!

happy modding..

 

haha thanks. You have lakeshore slate also? I really like the color. Not the one I was looking for but definitely happy with what I ended up with. and oh yeah there will be mods lol

 

welcome!! looks good. now all you need to do is start with a few mods

 

I went from a lifted Jeep as well! been about 2 months now and im loving it. I like yours a lot!!

My jeep had a 4 inch short arm with 33's. Front/rear bumpers and rockers. One tip i would give you is be careful the first few days. I was so used to just running over any curbs or obstacles in my way i had to make sure i didn't smash the G into things....

 

wow you pretty much described my jeep. sounds like we have similar tastes lol here is a pic with my old jeep on a 4" short arm lift on 33s with bumpers and rockers


It is quite different driving the G around. Im still getting used to having power everything

 

Those look like MT wheels! i had the classic locks thanks to the previous owner. I was just about to get a jks BL and go 35's on some steelies when i graduated from school and needed better mileage.

I was happy with my Toys By Troy front bumper, very unique. Dealer i sold it to is a guy i used to work for, he told me hes had like 5 or 6 people come in and ask to just buy the bumper. haha

Here's a pic of mine, but i had the at's on trying to save mileage. Gave up and bought a G

 

Haha I think the wheels were eagle alloys. Ya i had just swapped in a Dana 44 rear and was getting ready to order my 35s when my jeep got totaled. Thats a nice jeep you had. Im digging the front bumper.

 

Man this is making me start to miss my jeep. Definitely a whole different driving experience.
Also a short arm 4" lift, 1" spacers,1" BL and 35's. had a winch and rear bumper(not in pics). Was about to re- gear but sold it.

 

haha i love seeing all the jeeps lol agreed that its a whole nother world driving compared to the G

 

Nice ride Big! (Lovin those Jeep shots too) Welcome to the squad and happy mod'n! Let us know what your first changes are going to be! always fun to watch a car evolve on the forum!

 

sweet, love the rays. wish i could get those.
