Looks like my wife's black QX4. It sucks that the primer paint on a black Infiniti is white.

When mine gets bad enough I am just going to have the bumper resprayed. Mine has 6K and 2 bad chips, not that noticeable yet, so what the Hell, what you have to have fixed right away are stone chips in the windshield so a crack does not develop. Just had one fixed today in fact. Here in Phoenix, they use so much gravel, you are foolish not to have full glass coverage; too bad it doesn't apply to the front fascia and hood.

when we get our grilles painted i'm sure he'll work a deal to get your front painted as well

You're not getting a custom grille Kenny? I have a nice billet grille on mine, no insignia. Stillen has the lower pieces for the '03 now as well, but I cannot figure for the life of me how they would attach! There is nothing to bolt them to! Maybe they clip on, hmmm...

Edit: 800 posts! LOL i didn't even notice right away

[superdude]

congrats on number 800!

just looked up the billet grilles for the lower valance, I currently have the upper only:

Mike, yours is a 03 and you only have 6k miles? You sure it isn't 60k? I put 6 on the first few months I had it, I can't go more than a day without driving, or else I get antsy. Oh yeah, Neal, that sucks. My paint is really messed up to, it is pitted really bad from the previous owner parking next to a power plant or something. It is going to cost like a grand to fix, so I figure it is better money spent going toward exhaust.

No it's only 6120 right now, it's my pleasure car and remember I am retired (well, I work at home, but it's my own gig) so that is why the low miles. Besides, it's a collector car (I think) and keeping low miles helps retain its value. Believe me, I get plenty of pleasure out of it!

I know what you mean. In 95, my dad bought a brand new Firebird Trans am convertible, bright red, 6MT. When he sold it in 2003, it has about 30k miles on it! He kept it mint, and he never let me drive it!

that sucks........
