The name is Allen and I am (obviously) new to the site. It seems like a great place for info on my new, previously loved, G35. I was the fortunate third party beneficiary in a car transaction between my mother and brother, wherein, I inherited his 2004 G35 as sort of a law school graduation present. My Baby is fire engine red, in immaculate shape, and only has about 40k miles. Yesterday I drove by a few kids playing basketball and one shouted "nice car bro" as I passed. Little does he know, he made my day.

The first order of business was clearing out the sidemarkers. I plan on doing much more as the pay checks come in (starting my first legal job in September, woohoo!). At this time, I am thinking of some sort of body kit and maybe a carbon fiber trunk. I suppose that is after I shell out the $600 to have the actuator replaced because the passenger door won't unlock, grrrrrr.

Well, I hope I don't make a complete fool of myself and ya'll will take it easy on me if I say something misinformed. I don't know much about cars, but I plan on learning now that I own something I can be proud of.

Best,

AJR

 

whoa whoa whoa there's DIYs on the door lock things. I would just buy a new OEM replacement (~175 i think) and just do it yourself.

 

Welcome Allen to the boards and congrats on the pickup of your G!! Yes, this site is very informative and you should take in as much info as possible before shelling out $$$$ to do things that could be done by yourself.......Happy modding and enjoy your stay!

 

Warm Welcome to ya Allen! And what is your legal expertise? ...not that I need a lawyer...today

Check out the tech sections for some great $ saving DIY's...more money for fun mods if ya save it on the maintinance crud

 

stop me before calling you an aszhole but did you call the color of your G35 "Fire Engine Red" ? If you got your car repainted then fine but the correct color is known as Lazer Red (AX6)

 

Congrats on the car, infiniti calls the color " Laser red" lots of options for body kits. Go over to the picture share section you should find something that suits your taste.
