FAVORITE MODIFICATION
"The paint and body, The Infiniti platform usually caters to the 2 door g37 models and to take a coupe body kit and fuse it to fit onto a sedan is something that bring it to another level, the paint job was also something I wanted to be different and unique. I wanted to have something that would stand out but not to over board so I chose a purple pigment paint with a color shift which I absolutely love."
