perhaps this will help you, albeit not an "X" and mine is an '09...this is both the sport package and the aero package together.

You think it's cheaper to get the g37x and add on the sport and aero kit or just get the limited edition that comes with everything I want already?

Thanks again guys.

The limited edition might be slightly cheaper than piecing one together, but the infiniti website isn't clear on all the options the Limited Edition has. They only call out sport, premium, navagation, and black grill but it does seem it has all the pieces of the aero package, and has 18" 9-spoke wheels but it's not stated anywhere that those are the same as the option package W92, but it wouldn't make much sense to have a custom 9-spoke version just for the LE.

The monaco red interior seems to turn many people off. I like it OK, but it would have looked nicer to have some of that red leather as door accents like they do in the IPL coupe.

The malbec black paint (has red metal flakes that sparkle in sunlight) would be a nice paint for a show car that never sees the road, but that's a really difficult paint to touch up small rock chips or scratches without it being obvious. Those things are bound to happen eventually.

So in spite of liking the color itself, it's the impracticality of maintaining it that is giving me pause on the LE. Solid black would have been a better choice in that regard, if they wanted a dark color.

Just something to consider.

I am probably just going to get the Sport with the Aero kit since I am on a budget. I think the Limited Edition is pretty much non negotiable in price even if I can still find one. I think the Sport Aero invoice is about 42K negotiable and the LE is 48K not too negotiable. Correct me if I am wrong.

Get the limited edition, thats what I did. Not only do you get every package available but you also get a malbec black paint and monaco red seats which aren't available on any other Gs. Believe me you won't regret it!

You know nothing about the town I currently live in, nor have a clue of where I've lived previously, went to college, studied in college or what I do for a living. Your ignorance and assumptions you presented here do little to promote your competency.

Perhaps allow him to get the other items he is considering and stay within that budget. Didn't mean to "downgrade" the incredible, pricey wheels you must have on your great car.

I have the sport wheels that came with my G, and yes, changing to those cheap aftermarket knockoffs would most certainly be a "downgrade."

You know, I was just looking for a different look. These wheels weigh 22.8 pounds each...check with the Federal Automotive Library there in Dodge and see what the stocks weigh...you might be surprised. Since the tires had only 400 miles on them I thought I continue to use them on the different wheels I purchased...so I stayed with the same size. Will that keep dealers from trading with me? Please let me know. But ya know, heavier wheels or not, I'm still getting down to the Kroger's (like a Winn-Dixie) store, post office and sports bar in ample time and haven't noticed a bit of change in the G's I'm pulling around all the corners I encounter.

Why would you edit/add this to your previous post? Perhaps you failed at Geography in school, but Kansas is not in the "South" and is not populated with Winn-Dixie Grocery Stores. I am, however, familiar with Kroger Co. and its various banners. I find it interesting how you mock Kansas while living in Indiana.

So, we both apologize via another post and PM, then you go and edit your previous post, adding condescesion and insults to it? Who does that? Are you Bi-polar? Schizophrenic? If you had a change of heart(or personality), why not add an additional post or another PM rather than edit a previous post?

If anyone cares, danno62's original post was quoted in post #18. Is this indicative of this poster's habits in general?

Edit: danno62's creative editting took place after my apology, but before his own.

If my numbers are off please let me know.

Hmmm...referencing da mayors post, on my screen the aero on sport model is immediately to the right of this pic. The pic below shows a front facing side-by-side view of the non sport and sport without aero. Our screens must be configured differently?
