Parking sensor? you have a g37 why not get the camera? Video bypass ... i have it too but i don't watch it at all just found it useless but for my rear passenger is perfect.

Parking sensor was kinda just for fun so my gf won't do anythign stupid..
How and where did you set up your video bypass, it be nice to have just for fun =)

^not feeling the wheels and grill.
This is for 2nd gen non nav. http://www.g35nyc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4502
video bypass is relatively easy. u dont actually install anything, you open up the radio and cut 2 wires (VSS: tells if the car is moving) and (parking brake) you ground that wire to body. mind you, the warranty for radio area will be void after this.
For NAV,

I really like them though, I have the same ones from Umnitza, SUPER BRIGHT!

hey, that's one of the nicer G37's i've seen.
I still think it would look 10x better if the grill was straight rather than flexing up (and down).

bypass takes 30 mins Tops doing it alone. dont really need skills, just good at following instructions but if you dont feel comfortable others have recommend some shops. ^^^
another easy mod that you didnt add in was switching LEDS in your interior, trunk, and license plate.
Changing cabinet lights to white LEDS make the car so much sexier. and especially the license plate lights, changing it to white leds gives it a crisp sharp look compared to those yellow lights. our 335 came with stock led license plate lights but g35 didnt so i switched em out. and to satisfy the small portion of ricer in me, the inside trunk light, i put on a blue led. lol
