Thanks for your feedback, you're around the 4th or 5th person now to confirm no problems with ICC and aero/IPL bumper. Seems I have a bad ICC, will have to swap back my stock sport bumper and take it in to Infiniti.

did this yesterday, came out great. only problem i had was that i couldnt remove my passenger side bumper bracket that connected the bumper to the car. i had to take one of the metal bolt clips off the old bumper and screwed it in where the bumper bracket would normally go, worked like a charm and cant even tell the difference. other than that it was a straight forward swap.

Just did the front bumper today. What a hassle but easy enough at the same time. Took a couple hrs as I painted my chrome fog light trims and had to wait for various coats to dry. Patience and the right tools (10mm + phillips + slot screwdriver) will be your best friend.

Alright, I know this is redundant, BUT if someone points me in the right direction, I WILL HAVE A MOONLIGHT WHITE PEARL 2011+ SPORTS bumper for sale in 2-3 weeks.

I have a 2011+ G37S sport bumper in MOONLIGHT WHITE. I want to do the conversion from the 2011 Sport Bumper WITH the fog lights converted over to the Aero Bumper with fog lights as well. Do I need the washer fluid tanks, any special fog light kits, wiring, etc? If not, I am going to drive to Infiniti Sewell and pick up one of these bumpers and post my old Sport Bumper for sale. The bumper is in great condition with a few scratches underneath the bumper that you can't see.



What I need to know is, what will I need to do this conversion from 2011 Sport bumper to the Aero Bumper. Thanks

Really?????

Try search, then read up!!

Heres a hint, search for "IPL bumper swap"!! Youll end up on this thread!!

Its been well documented for the last 2 years.

Also trying to subliminally sell your bumper before you have 100 post, and are allowed to post in the classifieds. Nice!!

There's this thread and there's another thread about "fog light conversion lamps" that contradicts what this thread says, but I think it is all based on who you buy the IPL/Aero bumper from. Sewell vs. infinitipartsusa etc etc

Also, I am aware about the 100 post limit OR paying the $29.95 to become a premium member, which isn't out of the question since I am a dedicated member. I am slowly began modding my car and use the forums quite a bit.

The fog light thread is my DIY thread, it complements the IPL thread, as it is for 2008-2010 cars.

Everything you need to know is in this thread.
Rather than post a redundant question, read it from the beginning, its a good education.

Alright as long as I have your confirmation that everything is on this page, I am going to sit down and read it from page 1. Thanks!

I think after seeing your pics I've changed my mind... I think I want to do the '11 sport bumper rather then my IPL. Anyone need a LP Silver IPL bumper? It's brand new! How much was the bumper and where did you get it? Thanks in advance...

Better yet, anyone with a '11 or newer who wants to trade let me know... Has to be Liquid Platinum Silver though.

Hello, I am a new owner of a '12 convertible graphite and plan on swapping the bumper and skirts for the Aero but I have some questions after reading so many posts. I don't understand why there is concern about Aero bumpers costing less than $1k. Right now with the current 20% Inifinti accessory promotion I have found several dealers in the northeast selling it for $954. The part #K6020-1NG5A is this correct? Should I be concerned these are very reputable dealers. For the side sills, are the coupe and the convertible the same? I found two different part #'s and one is much more expensive.

Any help would be appreciated.
