        Thanks man. I was born and raised in SF. Went down to LA for college, got married, wife is from LA so we stayed there. I grew up about 2 miles from Candlestick, am a huge Giants and Niners fan. We had Niners season tickets for 20+ years and I still try catch a couple of Giants games every season when they come down to LA.

                Thanks guys. You don't see that many G Sedans with fully debadged trunks because there are two holes behind the Infiniti logo in the center of the trunk. Had to fill in the holes and have the entire trunk repainted.

                            ^Thanks man. I've been debating whether or not I want to go a bit lower cause I agree with you just a little lower would make a big difference.

                            My front bumper sits way lower than OEM and already scrapes in and out of some driveways that I have to go in and out of everyday (ie: at work, can't park on the street). I'm thinking of lowering it a tad (like a 1/4") for Left Coast Low and seeing if my bumper survives...LOL.
