You mean every car there doesn't look like the V8 Interceptor from the Mad Max films? *ducks, runs*

^^^^Neat, the V6 Drift Interceptor?

Too bad the windows are so tinted, I wanted to see if he has a dingo like he did in Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior. Hey, something about that dog l liked. But then again I also liked Lord Humungous in the second film..he seemed like such a reasonable man.

Tail Lights? (usually $300+)
Grilles / Badges ?

would be happy to straight swap for some USDM parts if anyone is keen!

Pics aren't showing up for me right now, but congrats! I'd be going nuts waiting a month or more for my car.

Pics are fine, and again congrats. Neat to see how the car looks with the steering wheel on the right. (And yes, I knew it would be that way. )

^ +1 the car looks sweet with the right sided steering wheel. I'm surprised that you don't have cruise control though!

Actually, other then the obvious bit of the right hand drive, yours doesn't look that different from mine, if mine had the navigation package. (Mine is a G37x Coupe, Premium package only).

Basically, the major differences I see in the interior is a) Mine has cruise control, yours doesn't. b) Yours has paddle shifters, mine doesn't. c) Is yours AWD? Mine is and has the same "snow" mode switch between the heated seat switches, that switch if memory serves me right turns on power to all four wheels at low speeds by default instead of rear wheels by default, after a certain speed it will go to normal and d) My heated seat switches are dials not on off buttons, so i can dial in how much I want to heat up the seats. Oh, and yours has that toll both card slot thing or whatever that is below the dash, and of course yours has navigation, mine doesn't. And mine doesn't have the compact flash drive slot, but that's another option with the nav package, if I had Nav I'd have one too.

These shots are lousy, but this is mine the day I got it if you want to try to compare the inside:





Oh..and the outside of the car..yes the white gunk on the sides is just snow from driving it home.





Blue slate, graphite interior as an aside.

Oh, and to add to this, I see some raised bit next to the compact flash card reader on yours, mine is a flat plastic piece to let you know if the passenger side airbag is on or not. What is that on yours?

Finally, just to ask a dumb question, did they let you keep the Japanese plates?
