Just finished up on the body work today. Painted rear bumper from clearcoat peeling, door trims, bottom of front bumper, and I painted the center trim were the reverse lights are. This is how I did it....mask off were reverse lights are. I used a ruller to make the cut's perfectly straight. Ruff up the ugly trim with 320 or 400 grit.... I used 400. Be carful not to damage the tape! Use a tack rag to clean up the ugly trim. Spray on the primer. I use a 2K urethane. Spray 2-3 coats of the primer. Allow to dry 1-3 hours. Then, Wet sand with 800 grit. clean it up with soap and water. Spray the basecoat allowing 25-30 minutes between coats. When the basecoat is still a little wet carefully peel the tape. Spray 2-3 coats of clear. wetsand again with 1500-2000 then buff. You might not even have to wetsand. It's all about how good you are at spraying, how fine tuned your gun is, etc.. Enjoy!

Looks clean. I like it. I think I'd like the Infiniti logo in the middle of it. I photoshopped it to see how it would look and also with and without trunk lock:



You can see more pics in this thread:zerothread/243884

My favorite is still this one:

Yours is very close Thanks for sharing.

It does look nice with the logo in the middle. I like the red piece connecting the two tails together.

thanks. I can't read the stuff though. It's all rectangles and such. I don't want to look at the wrong parts. What can I do to get the text to appear properly?

Thanks.

The 8 point kit for my Q is going to run me $5520 and i don't think that includes shipping.

Plus I have to get it put on and painted. F Word.

How hard is it to install a Junction Produce Aero Kit myself? Would it include cutting, molding, and sanding? Is it bolt on? Please say yes!
