About to join the A33 crowd

Hey guys after looking at the BMW E39 530i & 540i sport models, Mercedes E320, a couple FX35s and low and behold a 2002 I35 with the extended Infiniti warranty for just under 15k with 24k miles on it we chose the A33 I35! Go figure The wifey is going to test drive it again and let me know if she really like it. It will be more of a family crusier around the island. I'm switching to some staggard 20" wheels plus I'm lowered so the I35 will keep the factory suspension. I use to have a 2002 Maxima and I really have missed it ever since I sold it for my G35 so I'm really excited to get back into the best fwd sedan Nissan/Infiniti ever made. NO JOKE it's really a good balance of sport and class. Anyway. I've already started shopping I think I'm going to be the first to have these bad boys on an A33. Also anybody have ideas on how much the I35 sport side sills cost? The wheels spoiler and a set of smoked JDM headlights is all we're putting on the I35.

The rims are the 2006 thru 2008 FX factory 18" they are 18x8 and the I35 we're picking up is Silver not as bright as the silver on my G35 so they should match pretty nicely

The side skirts new painted for a pair is $500 from infinitipartsusa.com

And the "JDM" smoked headlights won't work because they are halogen not HID.

Interesting the I30t came with smoke headlight assemblies and they were HID compatible I assumed those would work with Xenons on the I35. I read through the faqs and some of the treads on them matter. Makes sense that the standard reflective headlight assembly and an HID equiped assembly are different. So I guess housings on the I30t and I35 are different I hate breaking the seals on headlight assemblies I've done that before and told myself never again. Therefore I'll leave them as is.
In regards to the side sills I'll check my dealership to see if they can give me a deal on those they love to see me coming $$$ if they can't beat or match the $500 then I'll use the link. Thanks

I30t = I35 headlights, minus the smoked inner trim, FYI.

The regular A33 I30, and ALL eBay A33 headlights are halogen.

Now I see where the communication lapsed at concerning he smoked head light assemblies... I am speaking of actual I30t assemblies. I don't want to advertise the source just yet. As soon as I close the deal on the car I'm buying them before someone else grabs them. By the way I just finished looking at your tread on your "projector swap" and it's good stuff. Nice color too I have only seen pixs of the A33 I plan to buy (i'm depolyed till feb 11th) but my wife will be reporting back with me today on the condition of the car. I've been sending her pixs of your car to give her an idea of what the car should look like and she's loving it.
