I bought my G last October; Journey with Premium Package (I skipped the stick this time because my last 3 cars were stick and I live in Jersey) only mod is the Nav screen bypass which is so easy a caveman can do it. I got rear ended last spring ($1400 repair but free for me ). Then about a month ago I got egged and by the time I got to it the egg cooked my paint. 3 grand later (thanks allstate) my g looks better than it did when I bought it-no more orange peel; no more rock chips; and lifetime warranty on the paint all for $0 out of pocket. Here's the pic's to prove it sorry for the low quality cell phone cam

Beautiful G!

I hope you don't mind. I rearranged you pictures so they would tile vertically instead of horizontally. Makes it much easier for the rest of us to see.

Just put a "return" in between IMG tags and voila!

I sent you an email it's pretty self explanatory-My Dad went to GA Tech so maybe its a video by pass tutorial or maybe its how to dismantle an 06 G35.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, The paint job was just short of $3000. They painted everything except the back bumper which was new and painted when I got rear ended. The estimate was 5 pages 22 hours of body labor, 22 hours of paint labor, and 24 hours of painting. I couldn't be happier with the way it came out. Previously I had a chip on my drivers door handle and a ding on the rear fender as well as all sorts of crap on my front bumper. I think I'm gonna go with a clear bra but the paint has to cure for 30 days first.
