You know the best part of our verts, a lot of people don't notice that they are convertible. I always tell people and they do not notice the seals until I open the top. Love the clean lines by Infiniti and the design that keeps like looking like the coupe.

I just got one of the silver ones in Austin.

There is another vert where I work, it is black and belongs to a person at another company.

I've got the 2010 Athens Blue convertible too.

Although, sadly, I'm going into my second week without my ride due to it being in the body shop. (I guess somebody decided it looked like it would cost them too much to leave a note after they "redecorated" the rear passenger fender in a parking lot.)

I'm a bit concerned too since the shop claims they had to repaint it after the first try due to problems matching the Athens Blue color...

Hopefully triple A will back me with another repaint if it still doesn't look right...

Update: So, after two weeks, I finally got my ride back. The paint match actually was very good. Near perfect, really.

It was interesting though because when I picked it up the owner of the shop told me that if he had it to do over again, he'd simply pass on taking the job. Apparently, the AB color is VERY hard for some shops to match. He said the color code provided by the factory resulted in an obviously poor match with the first attempt. He said they had to have their guys blend way into the door even though there was no damage on the door. That comment was a bit unsettling but nobody I've had examine the car has been able to tell where the damage/paint was done, so I am basically happy with that part of the job.

Sadly, I found new door dings from seatbelt buckles on the passenger side and the shop refused to take any responsibility for them at all. Still debating whether it will be worth my time to file a small claims action against them...

Yes, AB color is VERY hard to match specially with self repairable clear coating on it.

A better solution for you than small claim's court:
You can actually get your inside panels replaced by Infiniti due to seat belts retraction problem, there's service bulletin on this issue.

My graphite shadow came from the Austin dealership last week. There should be a black one in it's place now from a Dallas dealership. It was one of only 5 that were 6 speeds in the state of Texas and it was exactly what I was looking for.
