Greg Porter In Easley on 123 does excellent work, but you will pay for it. Next to Greg's shop is a custom paint & body shop his son owns and will pay even more (two arms and two legs)
Contact Chris (CUX 350z) who just had is entire car repainted by a shop in Greenville for a reasonable price.

I will probably check those other two places if they are good.
I want to paint the trunk, back & front bumper. Hope that I can get a price of around $700, it not then I will just do the front and trunk.
Thanks!

Chris paid approx $4200 to paint car/engine bay and some other minor body work.

Thanks for the help.

I couldn't find Pro Custom's on my google maps.
But I just found the address right now on my laptop,
does this sound right 409 Westbrook Ct, Spartanburg, SC 29303 (near heron circle)
Anyways, I did go to a shops near Heron Circle since I couldn't find the other one till now.
I went to Econo Painting.
I also went to 2 in Boiling Springs.
Kimbrell's paint and auto, and Superior Auto auto body.
All of them basically said that they couldn't do the job because the colors (the bumpers, & skirts) are as close to Ivory pearl as they are going to get. (which i don't think is true) Especially for the back bumper. That back bumper is a bit off and I think that it could definitely be painted to a closer color. I have decided that I will accept the front bumper, even though it is a bit off ( not as much as the front) because all three of them said that the front bumper will be as close as it will get.
Hopefully I will find someone that will do the job.
But I will check out Image collisions tomorrow and pro customs tomorrow.

2007 v36 G35x
Black
Just bought it last month so no mods..... yet
I am new to the Asian car scene and after using search for a few days to learn about mine I still have a few questions so here we go:
OEM Brembo brakes; All model cars swap over? as in can I take an 04 G35 coupes Brembo's and put them on my V36 G35x sedan without any mods or extra parts?
How much HP can the V36 AWD system handle? How about the transmission? What can you do to change that number? Is there a tuner to improve the shift points in the Auto? I'm debating on 380hp+
Navigation upgrade; Is that as simple as sliding a OEM NAV CD in and letting it relearn the car or do you have to swap hardware. If so what hardware
Steering wheel peeling; Any of you had issues getting it replaced under extended warranty?

Tranny is good but valve body upgrade will be needed for faster/better shift response and overall strength of valve body. Change of final drive gearing would make the power you have more useful during certain power bands though make city driving slightly less enjoyable depending upon your gearing. and yes any good tuner will also adjust shift response and other various tranny operations
the oem nav I'm not familair with but a simple search should yeild you plenty of results on that topic.
good luck with everything and welcome to the G scene

No all model brakes do not switch over. infiniti/nissan changed there brake systems numerous times during the generations in both the coupe and sedan. however brackets are being produced in some situations to make certain calipers bolt up to oem brackets

2007 v36 g35x Automatic Tranny is good? As in it'll take 400? 800? 1200?
I'm not sure changing the final drive in any AWD is cheap or easy sir, I have other plans
#194
all you are doing is changing the final drive gear in pumpkin and gearing will be set. but 500 with valve body upgrade should give u little issues
#195
500 on a stock awd setup, with valve body upgrade to adjust shift points ONLY or is it needed to push past 305awhp?
sorry for the zillion questions but ur answers are vague and I really wanna know specifics before I accidentally blow up something that could cost thousands to repair or replace.
