Those wheels are ugly. The front facia is ricey and that maple should not see the light of day in a sports coupe.
Now, if I were in charge of doing the 20th anniversary (because nobody asked) here is what I would have done.
Interior:
In addition to all the tech that is there...
Carbon Fiber trimming (to replace that aweful wood)
Red seats (keep those in) with "20th Anniversary" stitched in the upper back area
Carbon fiber kickplates with illuminated "20th Anniversary" lettering
All aluminum "racing style" pedals (with circle holes)
Aluminum / Carbon Fiber accented shift ****
Exterior:
Paint color white (with red seats that would be sick I think)
A raised wing (complementing the natural lines of the vehicle)
Keep the side skirts and add a diffuser to the rear
Just make the spoiler less aggresive (leave the black grill)
Wheels:
Five spoke, black chrome (similar to the GT-R color) with a half inch lip out back / quarter inch out front
Brakes:
Red calipers
cross-drilled rotors
Engine / Exhaust:
Aluminum strut tower brace
Borla mufflers
Then I woke up and realized that they would have to sell it for north of 50K.

I just purchased this car. The red seats were a selling point for me as I was originally looking at an Audi S4 or S5 with the red and black leather. Personally I'd done the stitching on the red leather in black if not have made the seats two tone red/black like the Audi. Definitely I'd done the Infiniti embroidery in black.
At first I didn't know about the dark red maple trim but after looking at it in person I do like it. However, the post where the guy mentioned carbon fiber would've, in my opinion, definitely been awesome. If not carbon fiber, the red maple is the next best thing that gives my car a look of a luxury sports couple, which is what Infiniti is.
Anyone who says the body moldings on this car don't look right is crazy. The G37 Coupes without this look too plain. Without the Areo Kit you might as well have purchased an Hyundai because as much as I hate to admit it, they look better than the plain body G37s.

Hey everyone has opinions. I made the right decision for me because even if I hadn't have purchased the Anniversary Edition I'd still had added the aero package to the car. The only second guessing I'm going is whether I should've went with a fully loaded AWD instead because I'm going to get the Stillen SC for the car. AWD would give better grip for a way better launch I'm guessing. Either way though I love the car!

im surprised motor trend stated this.
"We love the famed VQ engine for its power and liveliness, but during our drive, we constantly craved a louder, more vociferous note. Come on, Infiniti. Be proud of those highly addicting, rev-matched barks."
I thought this engine in the g37 has been known for being louder and noticable while driving our cars?
