Most of those are panoramic

Looks great Greg. I didn't think the black roof would look that good on LP. Is that an aftermarket rear bumper, which one?

that would be the G37 concept. Released back in 2006.

Amen brother, 2006 with a glass panoramic roof. I just found the picture. I love the back. I wish somebody would make this cover I think it gives the car more aerodynamic look and also looks better finished without the pipes being visible.

That mean looking concept is what I was expecting in the g37. The rear is smoother instead of the bulky fat one that was released. And if I can recall that version had a meaner looking shaped Front head lights. When The G37 came out not looking like that, it just appeard too bland for my taste so I lost alot of interest in the car. The new 2011 version though, does spice it up some though.

I've always had a problem with the way carmakers water down their concepts too. You see an awesome concept that really looks incredible, then the actual car you can buy looks like a piece. WTF!

It all comes down to laws and liability though. If Nissan had made the G37 that low from the factory, all the old people and non-enthusiasts would be crying about speed bumps and the rough ride. Also, the bumpers of the concept don't have to meet U.S. safety regulations like the production versions do.

Its just another case of the government getting in the damn way...

Help!

When you guys painted the roof black did you guys have to remove the antenna? and/or the black liner separating the roof and the side of the car? If yes to the antenna was it just a pry-off or did you have to open up the interior roof?

I just had my roof repainted (long story) and they did not remove the antenea cover. Just make sure that the paint has fully dried before driving the car. I drove mine the next day and all the paint seemed dry but apparently it had a little bit of paint under the edge that had not dried and created a very small bubble which I just popped with a pin and looks fine now but I can still see a small spot when I look closely. My advice would be to remove the antenea and yes you have to remove the inside roof liner to do that.
