ok well so long to your TL. Nice TL but your kinda down grading to possibly that nasty lookin LEXUS I dont know, if you ask me, that LEXUS looks WACK. Atleast from a TL owners perspective. Its so boxy. You really like that?? The Infiniti is somewhat better then that lexus but there both a completely different style of car. Im not feelin them but whatever floats your boat. To each his own right. Have fun.

I agree. I like the Q45 also......Very rich, luxury looking car ......How much does a used 01 cost? Hopefully you get one w/ a warranty because Infiniti's service will rape you a new

um, well 01 at the dealer, i test drove one recently it was 18,500...but a 97-01 is all the same body style, just the tailights are different, minor things, 97 and 98's go in the paper for like 9000-11,000

Do it! For that price you can buy nice chrome wheels, Tint and sound system. Just get that warranty or you will regret it.....good luck the Q45 is a nice equipped car w/ plenty of horsepower.....

bye bye for one nice hot TL. Well within your options i would go for Q45, but why not a GS 3/400/430 ?? personally i think GS look better than LS.

That was quick, just got those tails done and now its gone...

IMHO the LS is nice and has awsome potential if ur going for that "VIP" thing, but the Q is sic in so many different ways, so when this whole VIP thing is over us still have a nice ride. unfortunately the Q's resale value sucks

That being said my vote goes to the Q45:

thanks for all the compliments guys, i guess im leaning more toward the Q for sure,

and klepto your right, a lot of ppl down here in hawaii are starting to notice the JDM VIP craze, im not bragging but me, baka-t, and lnsyone all have nice cars, but we just wanna get rid of them and go VIP cuz no one in hawaii hooked up a LS fully, and so far only one Q45 in hawaii is souped up (my friend dennis), erics getting rid of his fully built H22 turbo CL, and dans 3.0 was so pimp!, but i know they're moving on to bigger and better things...
oh and the kit your looking at is mode parfume for the Q, thats the one im thinking about getting

Those are all hot. I like the Q so long as you get the white and red tails (I can see you like that as well with your 02-03 TL tails).

Nice pics of the cars. Obviously you can tell that those guys have some $$ because looking at at all of the cars posted, I didn't see one with a good camber. They either don't care or they have a lot of money to spend on tires every year....

i know who dennis is, I met him in person when he came back to the bay. Turns out he used to date a chick that lives on my street. What a small world
