This 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe, in Black was a referral from an Audi client that was in need of a total refresh, not to say is was in desperate shape like a certain G35 we recovered recently! The owner had a few requests for us, things like removing the swirls and debadging the trunk of the vehicle. Over a 2-day period we were able to get this G37 badge and swirl free! The owner was very pleased with the car when we sent it home, and has since sent us a few friends! Cant' ask for a better client, just like the friend that sent him to us! This classy coupe, now has the paint to back it up!
