I really like the rear spoiler on a G35 Sedan, but I don't want the sport package. Did anybody tried to install an aftermarket rear spoiler and could you give me some suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
However, I believe you can purchase the OEM rear spoiler by itself through your dealer's parts dept. and have them install it. I'm not sure of any aftermarket options.
What I mean by "notchy" is how jaydoll put it. It takes a little effort to go into each gate (be it 2nd or 6th or whatever). All shift gates should have some sort of resistance to them, which provides tactile feedback to the driver that the transmission is actually going into gear. The G35's shifter gates just provides more resistance than others. My old Acura's shift gates were light -- you could tell they were there, and they provided the right amount of "feeling"...
So far, I like my coupe. I'd have to wait until I've put 10,000 miles on it before I can say that I "love" it. But averaging 26,000 miles a year, that milestone will come pretty quickly. I bought it 3 weeks ago today with 30 miles on the clock (it was a showroom model and exactly what I was looking for in a coupe, so I bought it then and there without waiting for an order), and now it has almost 1700 miles on it. Great highway car!

Happy driving!

For the 2003 model, the Areo Kit package was required (which priced around $2,500).
Edmunds doesn't show option for an Areo Kit. It has something for the Areo Pkg but that package says nothing about body colored side sills.
Also, Does anyone know why the Coupe comes with body colored side sills but the Sedan doesn't?
But, the color is black though (exterior color is Ivory Pearl).
In order for yours to be body colored, your side sills would need to be Ivory.
You will find that all the G35 coupes come with body colored side sills. But not the sedans.
Has anyone tried to install a vanity plate or shield on their G35 Coupe? I bought a regular chrome trim plate with the mounting bracket and shield for my license plate only to find that Infiniti has a metal bracket holding these two lights on the rear of the car that I had to remove before mounting the plate. I was able to somehow rig the lights into place by wedging them between some foam and the bumper. Very aggravating design if you ask me. Anyway, mission accomplished and the tag is in place. Consider yourself warned if you attempt the same.
Thanks
The front ones help with spray and stones; not sure about the rear ones.
I got mine as a dealer "throw-in" to compensate for a Sat radio mix-up.
Does anyone think I should look into buying an aftermarket spoiler? Will it look good and will it cost less? Anyone have pictures?
I have the same question posted in the G35 Infinti thread.
However, in my research I have found several companies the do custom trims for the G35 Sedan.
The link below is just one example. Do a search on google for G35 DASH. You will get many hits.

I would also like to see some close-up photos of those who have added these.
There are differences for each application of the VQ even among the FM platform.
Anyone know if is this is available?
Thanks.

The DVD drive can not play DVD movies. You will need an aftermarket DVD player of some sort. You can get it to play through the Nav screen and stock radio, though.
I haven't done this myself, but from what I read on other forums, the nav's video display has a second video input. A popular box to aid the hookup is an AV Electronic unit (avelectronic.com). If you don't like sound through an FM modulator, and aren't using the Sat Radio option, PAC is about to ship an AUX adapter that plugs into the Sat port on our headunits.

Its $499 dealer-installed for the front part of the hood, the side-view mirrors, and a bit of the front bumper.
Thanks.
I'm not sure how the LUMAR compares with the 3M film, but probably anything is better than nothing.
FWIW, I've used both PIAA Xtreme White and Sylvania Silverstar in my old Accord and both were great; I preferred the Silverstars and they were about $50 the pair at Autozone.
Didn't want to get the sat radio from the dealer, want to be able to move receiver from car to home, etc, and not have to pay for the extra receiver.
So far I am getting from 0 to 60 mph in 6.03 to 6.6 seconds (Car and Driver performance data indicates 6.1 seconds for automatics).
I was also able to get 0.81 g going through a very sharp and tight turn at about 32 mph, using winter Blizzak WS-50 tires installed for the season, with tires just starting to loose their grip (Car and driver claims 0.86 on a 200 ft skid pad with stock tires). Was a bit surprised by a relatively high number for these winter tires: credit definitely goes to G35s chassis design. When testing on a gentler curves, at higher speed, these tires begin to give way much earlier - not a surprise.
Does anybody else done any G35 testing? What is the mileage of your car and what are the numbers you are getting? I assume that 0 to 60 times should improve for a car with higher mileage.
Does anybody knows what G35 frontal area is?
Will try to search Car and Driver site. If successful, will post measured hp. Very curious how close to the rated 260 hp will I get...
