07 G35 coupe owner, bay area CA
I just drove home today with a 2007 G35 coupe, automatic. It has just 30K miles on the car and is in great condition. I've been waiting to get this car for years now while driving a beat up 97 camry with 200k plus miles! So this has been a long time coming. I wanted one that was a unique color (no silver/gray) low miles and in great condition with no crazy mods. I finally found it after months!
The first thing I plan to do is take it in for a service and get the tail lights replaced. I am not a fan of the extremely-dark smoked up look and also where I live, that could be a fine waiting to happen. An auto shop I took it to tried to take the paint off but didn't work. He said it would end up damaging the lights. The badges are also wrapped in some vinyl like material that is the same color as the car. It doesn't really show up much in photos but really cheapens the look of the car when viewed in person.
The last thing on the list is to get it wired for a double din system, which I still don't get the hang of completely. More reason to lurk around here! I am waiting for the Pioneer Avic NEX 5000 system to launch to see how that works as it seems to pack in some great features with Siri Eyes Free as well! Any recommendations on a good touch screen based system that has nav+bluetooth? Other than that, I may look at adding a spoiler down the road once I find one that I like.
It was a long drive getting it home and I absolutely fell in love with it. Worth the wait for me

Congrats & welcome to the forum, great find with low miles.
The emblems do look strange, a lot of people end up removing them for a clean look. Otherwise you can pick up a new set if the vinyl doesn't come off.
If you are looking for new tail lights, check with some of the forum vendors.
Enjoy your new ride.
