None of the lighter color Nissan/Infiniti bumpers match the rest of the car... It becomes obvious in pictuers depending on the lighting.. My 06 FX35 is silver and I took some pictures the other day and noticed the color change, even tho I never noticed it before... My G35 sedan was the same way...

BTW, not feeling the blue roll bar, I would remove it or paint it black or maybe silver... Otherwise the car is sweet looking...

$2000 seats have a resale value of about $500. The exhaust, around $225.
If the mods are left on the car then yes I agree with you somewhat, mods are probably worth about 25% of there new value. But if you remove them and sell them on Ebay you can usally get about 60%-70% of there new value depending on what the item is...

I stand corrected. Well said.
