So I checked out the everything35.com and have quite a long list of things I wanna buy, I would prob have all these things ready even before I take delivery, so day 1 everything is fitted... lol

I think I am pretty much set on the the G35X non sport. I do not see enought upgrades other than the seats and paddle shifters to justify a probably 2000 difference. But who knows if I go to the dealer and it works out to be less I may get it.

Anyways I have so far decided on:

alum pedals, splash guards, nose mask, all season mats.

What i do not know will fit or if I need:

sedan underbody diffusersrear differential cover ??

intake:

I am leaning towards to stillen intake, I notice that the metal tube they provide is very short, so I assume its to be used in conjunction with teh stock tube? Does that mean I can use the Z tube with this? anyone?

How is this stillen brand anyways? I like it because it has shields and I really would prefer to lower my possibilities of any water going into the engine and ****ing everything up, just me I am a safe person. LOL Anyone with installed pictures?

I am also interested in the spacers, and the manifold replacements, but I am confused about the rev and non rev engine they keep mentioning that... whats that about? So can I use the spacers AND replace the lower plenum or the manifold? Does that apply to me? Its on the motordyne website and everythingg35.

THANKS guys

*add*I am also thinking about getting a clear bar for the fron bumper area. Opinions?

I'll try to help you out, do a search for more detail!

Not sure on the sedan underbody diffusers, but call the guys at everythingG35, and they'll help you out! (ask for Justin or Joe)

I believe you can get the Stillen Popcharger with the Z-tube or a chrome one. Stillen is a great aftermarket brand for the G

If you're concerned about water going in the engine, get a short-ram style intake instead of a cold-air intake. The short ram will perform and sound better than CAI for the most part.

If you have a "REVUP" engine 05+, then get the MREV2 plus a plenum spacer. 03-04 only get the spacer...read up on it by searching prior posts, this is a confusing topic.

Finally, if you're getting a brand new G, definitely get the clear bra before taking it on the highway. If it's used, check the bumper for any chips first.

Now, lets see some pics!

Don't mix up the 2007 g35x with the older versions when you are searchig. They have a different engine. Make sure when you search go 07 35sedan + on the everythingg35.com or anywhere else.

On ebay you can buy alu pedal covers for the 07 auto.

you can send an email to him to list a set for you. I think it looks better than the oem.

Thanks guys for the responses. It looks good, yeah the factory accordion tubing doesnt look as good eh.. So maybe I will get the intake with the chrome or Z tube.

I spent the whole day crunching numbers trying to figure out how much I can sell my car for, how much I can buy the car for in the US etc looks like it aint big savings for me if I bought from us maybe 3 or 4 K...dunt know if thats worth the trouble.

I have a local dealer has one in the lot, and we have agreed on 2% over invoice.. you think thats a good deal? $42,500 as compared to $48,640 MSRP. so that actually makes it like cheaper than US price, but here comes ****ty part I have to tag on 14% taxes on that number, so basically i save maybe $3000 if I buy in US, gas there and back, incidentals.. dunt really think its worth the trouble.

Yeah, that is not much of a saving. Maybe if you find a demo or something. Get couple of K down.
