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.

The short, stubby rear doors and quaters panels adds criticle rigidity to the chassis.
