Exterior styling changes from 2009 - 2013?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if Infiniti implemented any exterior styling changes to the G37 between 2009 and 2013? It seems like the 2012/2013 G37's that I see (both in photos and in real-life) look to be a little more aggressively sculpted from the front than older G37's, so I was just curious.

In 2010 they improved the resolution and quality of the LCD display, and dropped the old Compact Flash slot in the dashboard. They also started using beige and brown plastics on the dash, steering wheel and console when matched with the Stone or Wheat interior, whereas previously those components were always black.

I'm sure there are other differences.

Well Rochester covered the interior, as far as exterior goes~
They changed the front grill in 2010 which in turn changed the bumper, and also slightly changed the shape of the headlights. The inside of the headlights have different shrouds and they added a slightly darker tint to the headlight chrome on the S models. The rear bumper also has a slightly different valance (the recess just above the exhaust). AFAIK that's about it along w/ different wheel designs.

Hahaha... I completely read his question wrong. My bad.

Newt, it's not just the rear valance area of the rear bumper. The license plate section is more square and clean. And I believe 2010 was when they introduced rear proximity sensors. As for the front... fogs integrated into the lower bumper corners instead of the headlights.

The 2010 mid-model update also included moving the foglights from the headlight assembly and down to a more conventional position low on the front bumper.
