Recently purchased Infinity I35 looking to restore and upgrade

Hi guys, it seems forever since I've been on here, probably about 10 years, I used to have a pretty nice 89 Maxima GXE silver with all the digital heads up display and such which was really cool for 9 years which I fixed and upgraded and research the heck out of and learned most of what I know about mechanic work from that experience. Now a couple months ago I picked up inexpensive 2003 Infiniti I35 with some front end damage and basic maintenance stuff, and looking to upgrade and replace brake rotors and pads, suspension all around, probably steering, tune up, maybe eventually timing chain guides if it needs it, but it's only got 127,000 MI.

I'm wondering who's still around here who knows about these cars and the illumina adjustable struts and possibly H&R Springs or anything else like that!

My 2003 Infiniti I35 is in Pearl White. I owned it since 2007. It now has 175,000 miles on it and still going strong. I replaced the suspension somewhere around 135,000 miles several years ago.

I'm still here 5 months later and was considering selling the I-35 but I like it too much so I'm going to sell the different car and keep this one to restore to its former glory and better! Do you know if anyone has ever grafted on the lower portion of a 20th anniversary addition Maxima bumper and lip? There's one here at the Pick-n-Pull so I might try it along with some good KYB struts! It doesn't seem like there's very much good aftermarket suspension available anymore except coilovers which are so pricey!

hi there MrKanda, did you ever find out if any other bumpers/ lips for the i35? I’m dying for something new.
I attached a photo of one I think may fit, but other than ionic dynamincs I can’t find anything that says it’s for this car or the cefiro.

The front lip for 06-07 Subaru WRX fits very nicely, and it is not too



obnoxious.
