313 is no offense a little much.I'm sure you could have found a body shop to do it for a lot less. And if the dealer is gonna warranty something they don't sell-install?especially a tt kit.they might be telling you the truth.my 02 cents.

Being the asian I am, I lied and said I drove to Houston, Texas to clearview to get it install. They search the system and nothing came up for me. I ran to my car and grab a fake invoice from when I got my TS-P lip painted and they go Oh ok then all your other mods are under warranty by us. At this point Im thinking in my head "yes, I love baton rouge". Then he goes "All your other mods are cover but this isn't so it will be 313 dollars for part and labor. I would have never figure it out if it wasn't for a bad job on your lights. Someone did not seal it right and there is condensation all over your lights. Therefor I can't warranty this one part but I can't warranty other stuff" Im depress now but the worst thing is when I dug in my pocket. I FORGOT MY MONEY AND LICENSE AT HOME! Im phoning people to come pick me up to go home to get money cause I have none when my phone dies. Im feeling stupid right now but then I go "hey I memorize my CC. Is that cool?". He goes "yeah thats cool. you must shop alot online for mods if you memorize it by heart".

Part 2 for black betty.
Advisor: well we give complementary car wash so thats a good
Myself: Nah Nah Im ok. I don't want no swirl marks with your one bucket wash.
Advisor: Well I really recommend it cause your car is dirty
Myself: I rather it be dirty then for you to put a chainsaw to it


in the end(cons):
I COULD HAVE GOT IT FREE IF IT WASN't FOR MY LEAK HEADLIGHT blahhh
FCK UP MY RADIATOR Shroud paint so I have to repaint it!
I paid 313 dollar in labor and parts.
I wait 4 and a half hours
Phone died
I paid my friend 20 dollar for gas for driving all the way across town to come pick me up when I didn't need it no more and He waited 1 hour too.
Someone rev my **** cause I heard it
Someone had my music blasting to the max on rap

the pros:
Infiniti love my car and kept asking what other mods im going to do and that they will install parts for me and only me.

THEY WANT TO WARRANTY ME FOR A TWIN TURBO! Guy was talking about how he saw a TWIN TURBO G on youtube and loved it.

BY THE WAY! EVERYONE IN HERE SUCK LOL! Never asking the forum again cause I get stuff like G force crap,shovel, and Open Sesame
They want to warranty TT for you?? Sweet... The Gigga fund is going straight to you to pay for Infiniti to install and warranty and eBay TT kit.

I believe it broke. I took my headlight off way back in january or so before I got my wheels. I went like 7 month without any problem and today the wire just somehow gets broken. I have to take my headlight off again to send to fix so hopefully it don't happen again. I might just drive to NY to do it so igor take my headlight off

LOL bj, Nah this guy knew what he was talking about.

He goes " man what you doing next to your car? I say twin turbo man. I saw a g37 on youtube recently turbo and it was insane! I want to get a g37 to turbo it but I can't. You are the only modded g37 In baton rouge. It looks hot man and set up a great example for the G. We have gotten 14 compliments from other customers already and 1 couple is buying a G37 journey right now cause of your car."

I say " ehh turbo right now is 12k for the whole kit and I don't want to be paying out the *** for warranty stuff cause My car only a year old"

then He goes "OH your talking about the GTM kit. I have read and seen it. You know if your that worry about it then We can warranty it as long it was installed by a professional or the makers of the kit themself"

IM LIKE

I dont think I understand. They wouldn't even cover a hood latch cable that probably wasn't even affected by your headlight removal/replacement but they said they want to install a TT on your car and cover it with Infiniti factory warranty??? That sounds difficult for me to believe. If you blow your engine with a TT installed, they will cover that? Which dealership in BR and how much for the TT parts and install labor?

well they say I have to have receipt to warranty stuff. If its done by a shop with legitimate reciept then they can warranty it. I had no papers for my headlight and it look like I did it myself cause the leaking. They also said the seal suck and look bad because there was tape around the headlight so it did not look professional so yeah
