I went to southern auto by the falls area. The body shop is nothing to look at but they do incredible work. I'm excited to see the outcome. The guy's names are Palo or Elvis. Palo is from trinidad. He's very talented. They painted my Nismo V1 in one day absolutely perfect.

Once again Shine prevails! I don't own a 350z but I went to a small car show/meet in San Jose [SpiritofJapan 07] and I saw a 350 owner with this Kit. I must say, the quality of the product and fitment, were just amazing. I have a photo but I don't know how to upload haha. If I figure it out, I'll post the photos!

I hope they don't get any overspray on your car. Typically, I would expect a body shop to remove any panel for painting.

I said the same thing but Elvis reassured that it'll be fine. They stand behind their work so if it's messed up, they have to fix it. I trust their judgement.

dude can you take more pics of the bumper? i'd like to see how the grill looks with the duct. so far it looks good, not as "noisy" as i would have imagined.
