Washed my new G35

So about a week ago I went to look at this car, test drove it to a PPI, checked out, and 12k cash and a craptastic trade-in later, I found myself the proud owner of an '05 G35 6mt with 15.5k on the clock!

Only drawbacks for me were that the rear bumper was resprayed by the dealership because of some scuffs, but I think they must have prepped it wrong, because it came out a little lighter than the rest of the car.

Quick shots, photoshoot to come soon






White gets dirty FAST!

Congratulations OP. $12k in cash - not sure what craptastic trade in you did - is a crazy deal for a car with those specs.

Hanging around these forums, though, gets you the itch.

So when are you gonna start modding your new IP sedan????

Beautiful car, but you def need to get the back bumper repainted to match.

Car looks great, congrats on the new purchase (and what a find for a '05 6MT with low miles!) Unfortunately it's gonna be difficult to get the bumper repainted to match since the white IP (Ivory Pearl) body color is one of the toughest Infiniti colors to blend and match.

Yeah, I traded in an '03 Audi A6 that was falling apart with a crap ton of miles and threw down some cash, so I think I did ok.

As far as mods go, I'm looking to do some subtle body work first, I go to school in New Orleans, so I'm probably going to hold off on suspension and wheels because the roads are so bad down there. I want to install the headlights with black housings (anyone know where/how?) and a matte black grill (probably just do it myself) and maybe do some work on the engine, but I'm really loving how it feels stock, and would like to do some autocrosses with it before I make any real mod decisions.

Grats on your car! I just picked up mine last week with almost the same config. Although I had 50k on the clock. That person hardly drove the damn car with only 15k miles after 4 years. Now get to modding!
