What model car are you running? A crx is cake compared to most post '90 cars especially infiniti. Probably JP curtains? Most common type especially in CA. OEM Nissan curtains are very hard to come by. They were only available electronically on the president LWB & SWB in Japan. A nice 4k+ for the entire car. side fender mirrors were an option on the JDM 1989-1997 Q45 1990-2002 president. 2002-2010 president. And the 1996-2002 (q45) cima. As well as a boatload more. Fairly common but not in the states. As time passes, more and more JDM options have been swapped into USDM vehicles... Not as rare as they once were
PICS PLEASE!

Is this the VIP Q that was listed in the San Francisco Craigslist for a couple of weeks?

You won't be able to register the car until it passes smog. When you're spending that kind of $$ for a car you should have had the owner provide a valid smog certificate. The limits are tight and if the engine is not running well (i.e. one bad injector) you could have problems getting it to pass. The previous owner had issues with high HC on my 94Q with only 49k on the odometer. Now 2 years later it's time for me to get it smogged again.

Where are you located?
