You underestimate people.

In fact, I think black on willow would look pretty good. Did they make that combo? That might be really cool actually. Maybe I'll just change my paint to black.

Lol thanks for the offer but I'll stay with my black on black, took forever to find this combo, it's got about 80k on the odometer, paying $20k for it though 😲 overpriced a bit? I do love this car been wanting it since I was a kid playing need for speed underground 2 if anyone remembers that, no neon lights will be added though, I do have some issues though, I can't hear the normal sound of the car, been reading the thread and closest I found was the pfft pffft pfft noise that sounds like what I'm hearing, anyone know if it could be the Y pipe? Took it to Infiniti and paid $140 just to check it, and said that could be the issue, I'm not sure he was sure, lol I'll post pics and a video of the sound second I get off work,

You paid $20k on a car with "about 80k miles" on it...
Did they throw in another car? A set of volks? A CBR?

Yes. Just a BIT overpriced lol

Lol I know but I loved this car since a kid and still do, over excited to have it and I'm young, with a good job and no rent I'll pay it off by 1 and a half to 2 years so i can own it quick, I posted the youtube link in the original post! if anyone has any idea what it could be i would appreciate it, and does anyone have an opinion about Velgenwheels VMB8, got a friend selling them for $1500, don't know if it'll look good for my G though, something tells me silver wheels

Welcome.

Your video is private so we can't view it. Make it public so we can see it and help you out.

You did overpay by a good bit, but as long as you're happy and able to afford it, its all good.

I see you have that leather wear issue on the corner of the driver seat like many of us

Thanks for the heads up on the video, and yea, hopefully it doesn't get worse, might just have to call my granny and have it stitched up XD lol anyone also know when there's gonna be a miami car meet? Dying to see what fresh ideas and inspirations I can find

NFSU2 is an awesome game! Lol. I think I still have it for my old ps2

Anyway, I just saw your vid. Not sure what it is, but the exhaust sounds weird. Its hard to tell what the issue is. It could be a number of things. Could be an exhaust leak, a hole in one of the exhaust pipes, etc.

I would suggest bringing it to a local shop (not Infiniti dealer) and have them raise the car up so you and a mechanic can inspect the exhaust system.

Btw I'm down for a Miami car meet. I'm in Central FL but I visit South Florida quite often maybe a few times a year.

Lol lucky you, I have every need for speed after most wanted and dead honesty, they all just don't compare, and just send me a message when you come down, I'll rally all my friends with nissans and what not, sadly some mustangs for the meet, any idea what the best best work around for AUX would be? is it better to get a new radio like app radio (expensive as hell) or an adapter for AUX, have no experience changing radios,

I still like the old school racing games. Did you ever play Street Racing Syndicate?? That was the other racing game that is close to NFSU2.

I'm planning to go to South Fl in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know, but it'll definitely be on a Friday night so we can roll around Ocean drive or something

As far as the AUX, I currently use a Radio tuner that I bought from BestBuy for like $30. You plug it into the cig lighter in the center console and it turns on automatically when you turn on your car. That's the best option unless you want to upgrade your entire system completely.

I already went to bestbuy and got an estimate how much it is to install an aftermarket stereo... and they want $550 just for the install!! I found a double din DVD touch screen for like $300 so that comes out to like $850 if you want to fully upgrade your deck. Kinda pricey but if you have the money that's what I'll do.

I kept mine stock because I have the factory Navigation and still like the 6disc Mp3/CD player. If you're on a budget, just buy the Aux cord at Bestbuy then upgrade your speakers.
