I've been tryin to follow this thread... have there been any direct profile pics yet? I havent seen any, but might have missed if posted (this thread is getting sh!tloads of posts)

Diesel, I'm specifically interested in seeing the painted window trim... I recently had mine painted for the 2nd time - and it came out a little lighter than expected... I might need to have it done a 3rd time... from the angeld pics yours looks like black... is it black or gunmetal?... pics please

I weighed both my 2003 350z and 2004 G35 sedan and the sedan weighed about 50 lbs. more. Both had full fluids and about a 1/4 tank of gas. I have never personally seen a Coupe weighed.

2003 Base Coupe: 3408 lbs
2003 Base Sedan: 3327 lbs
2003 Base 350Z: 3181 lbs

2004 Base Coupe: 3416 lbs
2004 Base Sedan: 3369 lbs
2004 X Sedan: 3677 lbs
2004 Base 350Z: 3188lbs

2005 Base Coupe: 3486
2005 Base Sedan: 3468
2005 X Sedan: 3651
2005 Base 350z: 3212 lbs

2006 G's are the same as 05'.
2006 Base 350Z is up to 3339 lbs
