I spoke to a police officer, and a dealer, as well as a mechanic shop. The law is NOT for consumers, but for DEALERS. A DEALER cannot SELL A CAR after 2008 without the car having TPMS sensors installed on the car.
Yeah! That's why i had to pay when i got my summer tires mounted on my coupe, to swap out the tpms sensors!! It should have been free!

Yeah, they gave me the option to either swap out my current tpms sensors or install new ones. Since i wasn't prepared to pay anything, the cheaper route was to swap.

No lance said its just for dealerships selling cars. Tevi and I both had our tires put on without any problems. My check tire light is still on and Lupient didn't say anything to me this week.

Okay good. The way Andrew and Dawn made it sound seemed like maybe it was required to have them on if your car came equipped with tpms.

Peng _ they will still mount wheels and tires at the regular cost but will not put them on your car if you have factory tpms and the new set doesn't. I had NTB do just that. Mount and balance and I put the wheels on the car myself.

**** my life. I just noticed a good 1 inch rip on the back seat of my car. Before I installed my rotors they were in the box sitting on the seat. I took a hard *** corner and I guess the 20 pound rotor and the sharp edged box decided to rape the leather

Id have a shop repair it but it has those tiny holes in them, which means it will look ugly as hell after it got repaired.

Saw an 2005 and 2006 G35 Coupe part out and one of them has the same interior as my car (willow). Maybe I could just swap out the whole bottom part of the back seat?

Any one have any experiences with the removal of the back seats of the G35 Coupes?

Yeah just bolt groups on both sides in the back. Portion you sit on has clips in k the front and the seat kinda folds back towards the front seats. Its pretty easy..

Oh well...I was just gonna replace one tire anyhoo. Guess I'll just have to drop it off. Was really wanting them to balance all my wheels before our trip though so I guess I'll be making 2 trips.

05/06 Gs have 'wheat' which is a completely different shade from the 03/04 'Willow' interior. So no, it wont match.
