350Z engine cover fit a g35 engine?

I just bought a 2004 G35 sedan and my first mod was s tech sponges and a nismo body kit my next mod is an engine cover and i was wondering would a 350Z engine cover fit a g35 engine?
i know there the same engine basically but i was just wondering if it would fit?
pics would be nice to because

Yes it fits. It may rub against the OEM snorkel a bit but it does fit. If you run one I would suggest running a Nissan Hamburger in your grill or going with an emblemless grill. Don't mix Nissan and Infiniti like I did back in the day...LOL!

UTR makes one for an 03-04, but they are no longer made and rarely come up for sale used. You can find a Gialla style grill on eBay. It will require some modification (with a dremel) to fit properly. A body shop can fit it to your car (or you can if you are handy with a dremel) and paint it for you.

Or you can pop the nissan badge off, sand it down hard then paint it.

Also for the Gialla/UTR grille, everythingg35.com sells them pre painted for like $190 check that out.

the intake is different on the G and Z... the Z doesnt have the duct that goes over the radiator ("snorkel")... Marcus (candlestickpark) is right, sometimes that can get in the way - particularly if you have a plenum spacer (specifically 1/2")... I trimmed mine to clear.

But bottom line is, yes it fits and lots of us have one.
