Can anyone here recommend any professional detailers or paint shops? When I had my Nismo delivered it had some rain drop like spotting in the clearcoat around the back right of the trunk and a little on the wing. It's not very noticeable, but I'd like to see if it can be buffed out or how much it would cost to repair.

Colvin Automotive is pricey, but they'll stand behind their work. As long as you go over your expectations with them before they start the work, they will meet or exceed them. And if for some reason, the work isn't done right the first time, they will make sure it gets fixed because their reputation isn't worth having an unsatisfied customer.

You could probably even ask them for a recommendation if their quote is too high for you. But they're the only shop I can vouch for if you're looking for a hassle-free experience and top quality work.

I can tell you one to stay away from. Caliber Collision (on 620) matched my PW very well but their clean up before and after is messy. You would probably find just as many imperfections afterwards.

Weren't these the guys that never replaced the VIN sticker on your front bumper?

Yup. I actually got a call about two weeks ago saying they found a company who could make the sticker since Nissan wouldn't provide it. Still haven't heard back.
