More images of the car have been posted in the gallery. This includes photos of the A/V system that features 3 monitors (two headrest, one rear hatch), DVD player, TV tuner, amps and subwoofer w/ enclosure.

Come to the show and check it out for yourself! It's located in the West Hall Lobby adjacent to the Maserati Spyder Exhibition.

I was there Saturday night, and one thing I have against the exhibit is that the car is back against a wall, and it's roped off. I couldn't really get a good look at it. I would have loved to spend more time checking out the interior, but as I said above it was hard, and add to that the crowd. It did look good though. I especially liked the bike rack with the bikes on top. I was trying to figure out who made the bikes but of course they say LA Auto Show.

Christobol,

Thanks for your feedback. The car is surrounded by chain because the AV equipment would be gone by the end of the show if it weren't! Rest assured, all of the modifications we made to the car were clearly visible with the windows down and the tailgate up. Nothing hidden, except for the DVD player mounted to the side of the spare tire well.

The bikes are mine. The road/tri/tt bike is a carbon Giant (so labeled), and the mountain bike is a carbon K2 frame I built up with lots of carbon bits and disc brakes. The graphics were for www.WebbRacing.com, the site my brother and I use to promote our racing.

Hope you enjoyed the show - it was a busy weekend!

The show was alright, but with how many people there were it was difficult to enjoy. Do you guys just race mtn bikes? or do you race your cars?

I forgot to take my camera, so make sure you do get at least a few good ones. Also take a couple of the G35. Then people talking about it in the 'Is the I35 a Serious Threat' will have something to look at.

Christobol,

My brother concentrates on racing bikes, while I focus on racing cars.

------------------------------------

gs4will,

The rack is a Yakima, and they do have attachments for snowboards. Gear On The Go/Sports Rack supplied the rack, and they are an exhibitor in Kentia Hall at the show - you can get more info from them. Enjoy the show!

LA yeah I went to your site today. I realized I should have gone there before asking. Maybe I'll see you at one of the Mtn bike races around here sometime.

Take a look at the forums at
www.freshalloy.com

Good forums, and there are many pics of the G35 there (as well as a LOT of good information).

A direct link to the forums: Infiniti Forums on FreshAlloy.com
