Props for Drone - looks like I know who to call if I want it done right.

OP - Looks fantastic, glad you got it fixed...

seriously.. I was using a towel, she went and grabbed a sponge to "help".. I was concentrating on the corners getting the G35 and the SMU Mustang off (thus no scratches in the corners in the before pic).. I stopped her before she was done w/ the INFINITI.. HA

You dummies. Just put a blow dryer up to each letter, one at a time, and after about 5 minutes they'll practically fall off -- residue and everything. That's what I did to my 115k '03. It didn't leave a mark or any remnants that they were even there.

His SN is "Drone" on forums if you ever want to PM him....Real name is Mark like Twalls said.

And yes he does have his own Mobile business for paint work. If you guys ever need anything buffed out or need something painted I highly suggest going through him...

Oh and he also paints wheels if you ever need them painted!

as well as minor wheel repair.. He also has a guy that does full wheel repair and restoration and auto body work if you need that too.. Also has a fender tool if you need fenders rolled.

I just picked up my chargespeed rear that he painted for me.. LOOKS GREAT!! Will be getting it mounted today.. JEAH!!! He's coming to the crib tomorrow to wet sand and buff it..

To get the hood, fenders and new sideskirts started. Gotta test fit, prep for paint and the sides need a little bit of work.
