I also cleaned up my rear at R&J in Carson

I decided to clean up the rear end. A very big thanks to R&J in Carson, CA for the flawless paint job. Anyone who needs body work done should go to Jesse over there. Only uses PPG paint, perfect color match on DG. The trunk and the rear bumper were painted only. Jesse is very meticulous about his work

Shoot me or MEXTEP a pm if you want more contact information.

As for the changes I made, I got rid of the overlays, rid of the m45 and roof spoilers, shaved emblems, added the jdm tails, added a 03-04 rear bumper, and added nismo skirts. I also had the grill painted flat black. Thanks RICK@riversideinfiniti for all the parts.

That looks awesome Alex.

Where the hell did you score some JDM tails? Last I heard, they were on back order from Japan.

Looking good Alex. I'm sure daytime pics of your car are on order

So you were able to have the trunk button carved out on the 03-04 rear bumper? How difficult was the wiring process for opening the trunk?

The trunk button was carved perfectly by R&J. I don't think the wiring was too difficult, the only mods that were needed to fit it was the hole for the trunk release, shaving a bit off the rear absorber, and a bracket for the license plate bulbs.
