I like those angle's on that Black TL:smokin:

and by the TL being slightly down hill of the G35 it makes their relitive hights in all respects (even our high trunk) look similar in all demintions.

Still love the TL after a side by side

I think i actually like the TL's styling more than the G's. The G looks good, but a bit too similar to the Z. I like the TL's sharp edges more.

Great ones. Since you always come out some good ideas to have the new setup, they're really good. I like this series of pics, TL vs G35...




I like the first one. Does your neighbor use Zaino? It's not fair for his car... TL has outshined his car.

No Zanio, but he uses something called Crystal guard. Anyone ever hear of it?

Nope they are not Huper Optik. I don't really know what the tint guy used on my car.

Both very nice looking cars...that car on the right looks familiar...haha...its my car, excluding the aero kit. I have to agree though that the TL looks really good from those angles

G35 coupe was one of my options when purchasing the TL...decided against it, but still always like the G35s I see on the road...now seeing the side by side, no question I made the right choice. Thanks for the pics...the one of you in the hood you posted a bit back inspired my zaino purchase...it should be delivered tomorrow

I for one don't mind you posting all the pics you want Donte.
Sure would love some high-res (1600x1200) pics of it so I can use it as wallpaper until my clone gets here (3 weeks).
Man, the NHBP looks good!

Thought about the G35C but got the 350 instead its something about the long wheelbase look that I dont like but it looks good. That TL looks great at most angles.

Nice pictures, keep posting! I keep saying I want a G35 coupe to lease purely as a weekend car. I don't care what it looks like inside, I just want to drive 9/10s.

Sorry to sound naive, but I always see people refering to
"8/10s, 9/10's" etc....

What exactly does that mean?

Thanks!

Sure buddy...you are just so anxious to get your post #'s up that you can't help but hit post reply twice....hey...any tips for the Zaino application??? I'm hoping it will arrive at my office this morning for application on Sat. (given that my scheduled wisdom tooth extraction doesn't put me outta commission). You can PM me if you want my e-mail if you've got a lot to say....thanks

Well, there wasn't anything really special that I did. Just washed the car and slapped on the Zanio. Wish there was a tip I could give you but I don't have any. Oh I know one, if you send me $100 your car will be real shiny

I cant believe how small the TL looks....They look almost the same size!!

As much as I love the car, this kinda bugs me. The TL is a mid-size sedan and yet sometimes it looks like a compact. I remember looking at all the measurements before I bought the car and I compared them to other cars. On paper for instance, the TL is basically the same size as a Lexus GS (L x W x H), yet the GS looks sooo much bigger!!
The Accord actually looks bigger than the TL!!

Not that I want a giant car, but sometimes I think the TL lacks presence because it looks kinda small.
