I scraped the front, bottom, right side of my bumper. I can only see it if I look low enough. My car is a lease and I was wondering whether I should try to get it repaired (I really don't want to buy a new bumper, but may be willing to get it buffed out) or buy a lip for the front bumper. I drive a non sport G37x sedan and was just wondering if putting a lip on my car would violate my lease. What would you guys do if you were in my position.

Can you post a pic? Depends how low it's noticed. If it's an OEM factory lip it shouldn't affect your lease but an aftermarket part might. Depends on the inspection party that does your check in. YMMV

My car is a non sport, do they offer oem lips for this particular model?

Meh, not too bad.. I think you could buff and use some touch up paint if needed..

Agree w/ Monty, that's low enough that some touch up paint should get you by the gatekeeper
This might be enough along w/ some elbow grease

Yep - online places like Grubbs will sell you one. $288 + shipping. Pre-painted and easy to install;



It's a factory accessory so it shouldn't have any impact on your lease.

Could you give me a link for the lip? I tried searching but the only ones that are coming up are after markets.

If you have the cash, get the OEM part. Mine looks great.

Available at any Infiniti dealer as it's an OEM part. Prices vary though so shop around. I purchased mine from Grubbs Infiniti;

GRUBBS INFINITI, LTD.

Make a note of the recurring discount code (currently Q1ESTORE2014) and then click on G Sedan Accessories at the bottom of the page. The front spoilers for the sport and non-sport models are about the 3rd page in.

Thanks for the reply back. I love the lip look but the price is a bit too high for me. I might just do a temporary fix by buffing out and painting over the scratch marks. Once I have some extra cash to spare, I might buy the lip. Thanks for all your help guys.

If you don't mind,do you have a link or some directions on buffing and painting? I have some scratches like that on my rear bumper.

Check out this video I saw the other day. His bumper looks about the same as the OP's.

Got similar scratch, from freaking piece of ice that came of from car in front of me... semi on one side and pickup on other... that piece came at me in slomo.... any way.
If you look around there are places that will "fix" or to be more precise, make it less noticeable with out removing the bumper from ~100+ $ depending on how big the scratch is.
I talked with a mechanic at the dealer and he gave me their own contact how comes and does that on their cars in their lot they are to sell as "pre-owned". He also showed me what to look for on bumpers if you buy pre-owned and want to spot these dirty fixes
