My coupe

Well I just bought a 05 coupe and i love it so far. I was looking for something reliable fast and slick and the g35 fit the profile perfectly. A big jump up from my old car, an 02 eclipse. Anyways heres a pic of it and ill post some more soon. Any thoughts on what i should do to it? Any questions?

Welcome to Driver Nick! One thing I noticed, your headlights need to be cleaned! Buy the 3-M headlight restore kit and follow the instructions. It's bad enough the first gen headlight weren't bright enough, the way yours look it must be a challenge to drive at night. If you have questions use our Search, looking for parts check out our Marketplace.
Nice LR (Lazer Red) coupe Nick, drive and enjoy!
Gary

This is a good Nick, but don't waste your $ on an ebay set made in China they leak and fill with water. You can find a set of '06 projectors on our Marketplace under Private Classified, they're a "Plug and Play" (easy install) and sell for $600= but worth it!

Slam it. Put wide wheels on it. Slide it around corners on the weekends. Drive it to Orange Julius for some gelatos or cruise meets.
