Re: How is your Gen 2/2.5 holding up?
I bought my 05 SE Sport new and drove it for 100k miles in 6 years. When I got my new G37 my wife took over the 'lara. When I stopped driving it, there were only a few minor issues.
-The driver's seat was showing some discoloration in the black fabric, fading a little.
-The window tint was starting to go bad all around.
-The floor mats were beat, with my heel actually working a hole all the way to the metal.
-The lights in the AC control switches are burned out.
My wife was out of town this week so I thought I would take the old girl for a spin a few times. There were many new scratches, dings and scrapes on the outside, so first things first I did a light detail job on the entire car. Got the headlights cleared up with the magic headlight stuff from Maguires (plastX). Most of the scratches buffed out pretty easily with wax. I just need to get the car re-tinted and get some new OEM mats. The one thing I'm not so sure about is that the car feels way down on power. Like maybe a spark plug has gone and I'm on 5 cylinders. At 106k miles she's about due for new plugs, so we'll give that a shot. But it no longer has the TRD muffler and injen intake when I was driving it so who knows maybe it's just a false impression.
