Two 3/4 inch holes will need to be drilled in the bumper cover to access the bolts in the fascia support. These holes will be hidden by the license plate.
The hitch bolts to the aluminum bumper, not the frame. The lower bumper fascia will need to be trimmed to allow the receiver to pass through it as well. This is explained in the installation instructions that I have linked to below. view full answer...
Whether you'll need to modify the bumper fascia or not will depend on which hitch you choose.
The nice thing about the Curt Class III you mentioned, part # C13126 is that the entire hitch with the exception of the receiver opening is concealed behind the vehicle bumper. According to the installation instructions, a small (1-3/8 x 2-1/2 inch) area of the underside of the bumper fascia would need to be trimmed away. I've linked you to photos showing the area that would be trimmed and how... view full answer...
The PTC Custom Fit Cabin Air Filter # 3513696 will fit your 2019 Infiniti QX50, and to install it you do need to actually remove the entire glove box. This will require you to pull it up from its hinges on the bottom, and undo a cord/strap on the left. You will then need to unscrew seven Phillip screws, which will then allow you to remove the cover. view full answer...
The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT that fits your 2013 Infiniti JX35 will take a different amount of time for different people, depending on how comfortable they are with wiring, but it is safe to assume that you will need at least hour to install it. One thing that will help reduce the install time is the video we made showing this kit being installed on a '13 JX35, which I have linked for you.

We have a couple of videos featuring an Infiniti G35 but no hitch installations. Fish Wiring can be a little cumbersome, but I have included a video demonstrating the technique. I have also inlcuded an FAQ article on trailer hitch installation tips that you might find helpful. Finally, I have included the installation details for the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 247482. The instructions include a brief explanation on the fish wire technique as well. view full answer...
The Bully Round Exhaust Tip part # PM-5104 has a resonated body which will provide a slightly more "crackly" sounding exhaust for your 2011 Infiniti G37 but will not exactly make it any noticeably louder. As long as your exhaust piping is between 1-3/4" to 2-1/2" in diameter then the above exhaust tip will work well for you.
To really get the greatest sound output out of your 2011 Infiniti G37 with the 3.7L V6 engine you will want to install a MagnaFlow Exhaust System like part # MF16820.... view full answer...
I spoke with one of my contacts at Curt Manufacturing, and was told that cutting the access slot behind the license plate would be sufficient. It is an either/or type of proposition. Some are not comfortable with the idea of cutting holes in the bumper cover even though those holes are concealed by the license plate, which is why the option of removing the bumper cover is available. view full answer...
We've never heard of a hitch receiver decreasing the value of a vehicle. Many hitches, such as the Draw-Tite # 76031 that you referenced for a 2014 Infiniti QX60, do not reduce the frame's integrity since they do not require drilling. They're actually using an existing hole and filling it with a bolt.
In the event a specific hitch does require drilling that drilled hole will also then be filled by a bolt.
On the other hand, depending on who is purchasing the vehicle, adding a hitch... view full answer...
Curt has listed an installation time of the wiring harness # C56074 as 30 minutes for the professional installer. I spoke to my installer and he said for a novice you should expect 1 hour and a half at the very least.
I have linked the instructions to this page for your convenience.

To install the Prodigy P3, part # 90195 on your Infiniti QX60, you will just need to run the wires in the following manner.
Attach the Blue wire from the trailer connector to the blue wire at the back of the brake controller. Then attach the black wire from the brake controller to the positive battery post using a 20-amp circuit breaker like part # 9506P.
Then run the white wire from the brake controller to the negative battery post.

I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Infiniti QX50. Under the "Tire Chains" section it actually states that snow chains should only be used on the rear tires and not on the front tires for your vehicle. The vehicle's owner's manual is always the best place to check when determining which tires chains can be used on as it will vary from vehicle to vehicle, regardless of its drivetrain.
Within the Tire Chain section of your manual it also says to only... view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitches, like the # C11499 which is a fit for your 2009 G37 do include the caveat in the installation instructions that a stabilizing strap is required in order to maintain warranty coverage. The warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 should be used for all non-trailer loads like bike racks or cargo trays. One end of the strap would loop around the hitch accessory, the hooked end would attach to the vehicle using the edge of the trunk lid or hatch.

I talked to Rhino Rack in regard to you upgrading your 54" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 to the 59" Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2. I was told that you need to install the legs about 63.5mm (2-1/2") from the strip. You could also just set the longer bars in place and make sure it is completely centered on each side then attach the legs. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out. view full answer...
There is some trimming required on the 2010 Infiniti G37 coupe to install Curt trailer hitch # C11493. There is an area approximately 1-3/4 inches by 2 inches that will need to be trimmed off the bumper fascia. I have included a picture that shows the hitch installed on a vehicle and the area that gets trimmed.

When installing the Draw-Tite Class IV Custom-Fit Trailer Hitch, # 76031, the bumper fascia will not need to be trimmed. The installation instructions do not list trimming the bumper fascia as one of the steps of the hitch installation.
This hitch when installed will sit below the bumper and will not interfere with any of the body molding of the vehicle.
As for installing this hitch on a lease vehicle, I recommend checking with the dealer that you purchased the car from to see if they... view full answer...
Although you won't be able to just wave your foot under the back of your 2017 Infiniti QX60 to activate the hands-free liftgate function, you will still be able to easily activate it by performing a kicking motion (like you are kicking a football) to the left or right side of the trailer hitch receiver.
The trailer hitch receiver that I recommend for your QX60 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76031 due to the higher weight capacities (900 lbs TW and 6,000 lbs GTW) that... view full answer...

I looked over the instructions (see link) for the # F4118 Coil-Rite Air Spring Kit. The installation looks pretty simple and straightforward. If you do not feel comfortable completing the installation yourself, the installation is something that any mechanic should not have any problem completing.
The vehicle is jacked up, and the frame supported by jack stands. Remove the rear wheels to allow easier access to the coil springs. The air bags are then compressed as described in the instructions... view full answer...
On the 2006 Infiniti FX-35, the Thule Gateway 2, # TH88VR, will fit. The lower clips will fit in the bottom edge of the trunk/hatch. The top clips will fit in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk/hatch. The lower arm of the rack will rest in the area between the license plate well and the upper tier of the bumper.
