IPL/Aerodynamic Bumper Swap Idea.
Just wanted to update with the parts I ordered because I confused some earlier.
These lights were alot cheaper on amazon earlier but have since gone up (Note that the wiring and switch is not actually included in this kit. The company said it was an Amazon error and offered a full refund but they were fast, high quality and still reasonably priced so I kept them. Still a good price and the lenses ARE GLASS!

Additionally there is another pigtail option available. This GE pigtail is also made for fog light applications and the 881 type bulbs. It is also a bit less expensive. Edit: This ships very fast also!

The (Sentra) bulbs are H11s, does the 881 bulbs have the same socket??
Saving a couple of bucks might cause grief in the long run.

Wow, I remember them trying to sell me a black one that was scuffed a while back for like 500..... I wonder if they sent you that one??? That would be messed up.
Man, that would suck lol, but I don't think its used because the rest of the paint is flawless. It doesn't have a single swirl or anything. I just know its going to be like $350 to paint and repair, and like $550 to send this one back and send me a new one. So should I just tell him to mark it as a loss and refund me the money on it so I can get it fixed(which would be less $ for him anyways) or have him send me a new one that has oem paint and not try to deal with repainting what should be a flawless bumper?

I didn't say it was used, he had a brand new one sitting there that was black with scuffs on it. You need to contact them and they should pay for all the shipping costs of returning and get you a new one asap.
they sent me a damaged side skirt too (obviously looked used) all chewed up on one end where someone also attempted to shoot 6 self tapping screws in the wheel well and bottom rear corner. He did end up sending me a new one however.
Alright thanks guys, I will wait for his call then. I wrote him an email and left a voicemail last night so we'll see what's up today. I didn't want to repaint either, I hate non OEM paint work.
Guys, I spent quite some time reading over this entire thread and still have some questions if somebody can assist without getting annoyed.
I have an 08' G and want to buy this front bumper and possibly side skirts to replace my dented and scratched sport bumper. I obviously have no fog lights and have yet to see anybody buy this bumper and block the fogs? Do I have to buy fogs if I do this conversion? I'm not a fan of the fogs so is there a way around this, I read inserts, but have yet to see any pics.
What exactly do I need to buy coming from an 08 G that will have me set up, part numbers? Appreciate the guidance peeps, if I can avoid the fogs I'd like to know how. Thanks.

If you decide to get the fogs you will need a different washer reseirvor or you can remove your current washer reserirvor n leave it without but idk if you want go that route. Part #'s to complete the fogs are on here also has been posted many time by me n others. Hope that helps
Ps. Also depending on your G color you may have to paint the bumper.
Hey, the part # for the IPL front bumper is listed on this thread I can't remember the page # tho but contact brad he will know what you're talking about. The swap is dead on no extra hardware need it. If you don't want the fogs you will need the anniversary feux vents which I was told are not sold separately. You can always do something custom to cover up the fogs but IMO just get the fogs.

BooSa, thanks for the quick hit back my man. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the inserts separate to avoid buying all the parts for the fogs? And in regards to the bumper, I guess what confused me was were people buying the "Aero" or the "IPL" front bumper? I have a OB G37 so based on this thread it will have to be painted if I buy the IPL correct? I am going to look to purchase this now, but wanted to make sure I was on the same page with everyone. So, it would be the IPL front bumper and side skirts and not the Aero right and it will need to be painted? Damn, why am I so retarded....thanks for the help fellas'
