my G is pretty much stock looking, just lowered and the SSR wheels, factory lip and a small trunk lip.

no z action today either. no time. i will check on her later on tonight though.

Ken, my G was stock.... I posted pics of it before, remember? Black and uberly polished with not a swirl on her. I personally thought it was hawwwt, but apparently no one else did. Wife always told me too, it looks like "a normal everyday car"

I seriously dont go anywhere without someone saying something about how awesome it is.

Yeah I feel that way too sometimes. A few weeks ago, I come out of the store to see 2 ladies in their 40's, professional business dressed peering over my car and talking, pointing, and smiling. They see me come out, then they scurry back to their Lexus. I had a feeling they thought it was a porsche

I felt insulted!!!!

drove the Z to work today, its party cloudy with no rain forecasted for the rest of the summer. got to enjoy the glittery goodness of a freshly clayed/polished/sealed pearl white. its sooo buttery smooth

See Chops?!?!?! pearl white polished, glazed, and sealed and waxed is unbeatable IMO.

EDIT: polished and DESWIRLED, that is.

It is just how I present myself to the world. i assure you, and everyone I know and have known will testify, that I am not normal. I would not be on this forum if I was.

No doubt. What "normal" person would be a member of a car forum and be responding to daily threads of "what did you do with your car"? LOL. Yes, we are all AB-normal. That's for sure.

huh, ok maybe you needed to lower it and get some nice wheels them.

hahaha. i too agree that when i see a stock G35C these days it doesn't really sparkle as the first time i saw the 03's with brembo's back in the days.

hey, i never wore Griot's shirts~!

lol actually im not that big on griots as you might think. i only use like their entire line up.

jk hahaha.

Yeah the design is still timeless, I agree. However, when you pose the G next to the Z (at least when I did), the G started to show it's simplicity and its age.... that's for sure.

And as far as Griots, you know I'm just givin' ya a hard time

yep, recent cars have all sorts of angles and decorative lines where as the G back in the days were all for simplicity. nissan used big bumpers front and rear on the G35C so it has the timelessness. but they are cars from 2 different era's no doubt.

which has better styling in my line up? can't compare because the way i put these two cars together they have completely different themes.

my G is for dressup with elegance, my Z is for sport. so i can understand why more greasy doods like my Z than the G.

This comment made me look up Griot's. Now I'm thinking about buying a random orbital from them. Do you get a referral fee? lol

I went for a ride today and saw a mid 90's Z28 with a "Import Killer" sticker in the back window. Looked fairly stock. I have no idea if it was capable because I just rolled by.

He looked my way but I guess he didn't feel like committing murder today.

Hey, Junkman said that if you're not careful with the Flex you can burn the paint off your car. Are there different flavors of the Flex with a model similar to the PC7424XP?
