Wow, is that a stock grill painted or was it purchase elsewhere. I have seen that grill several times are on here and it really looks badass, especially with that Aero package. Anybody know where I can get one? Should I paint the one I have?

If anyone wants a set of pigtails, I will sell you some with a set of 4smd white LED parking lights for $32 shipped. PM me if your interested! I have no use for em.

The swap today went well, it looks reallllly nice installed. Makes it look a lot more aggressive and luxurious at the same time.
Looks great!!! I have mine in too, but I can't it on until next weekend. Too much stuff going on this weekend. I'll post pics when I do.

So in order to make it work on a 08 PG, I would need

-bumper (~450 shipped)
-washer fluid tank (~100)
-fog lights (~100)
-paint (~250)

I have no fog lights to begin with, would it be possible to set it up to work with the headlights?

Does anyone know if i can just cut the factory fog light wires on the headlights of my 08, and then connect the 2 wires to my HID kit for the bumper fog lights? Will that be ok? I do not want to run 4 fogs and bother with the relays.

Add me to the Aero bumper club!!

We placed our order on Jan 07 and it was ready for pickup Jan 17. We left this morning at 5:00AM in the Wife's R350 and drove to orderinfinitiparts to get the parts. Returned back to our area and dropped the car off at the body shop to perform the installation. My wife was able to search and discover a Nissan Sentra fog light kit which included the fogs, brackets, cables/connectors and OEM light switch (no need for the Delco PT120s). This kit allows us to independently control the fog lights which is what we wanted (thanks hon)! Fitment was 100% perfect and the install went very smoothly. We also took TVPostSound's advice and ordered the Crystal Vision Ultra lights (4,000k) halogen bulbs. Although it was a very long day, we are excited at the final outcome. We are still undecided on painting the chrome, I believe for now we may leave it.

Thanks guys, this mod was well worth the effort!

KH3 Bumper - $283 (no shipping)
Washer Tank - $100 (no shipping)
Fog Light Kit - $90+30 (next day shipping)
H11 Bulbs $19 (including next day shipping)

Total less gas = $532

I will take some better photos soon.

BTW no need to spend $40 for pt120 pigtails. You can get a pair of these on ebay for $8.49 shipped.

I just left my elongated pigtails coiled up behind the fogs in the hope that I can do this later.

So is the best way to jack the car up, pull the wheel, pull the lining and get in from behind? just seems painful...

Thanks

Ok so I need some help/confirmation i'm about to purchase the BO bumber for my 2010 g37x - there shouldn't be any fitment issues and i will be purchasing

part numbers:
F22571A39A: replacement fog vent left $69.38
F22561A39A: replacement fog vent right $69.38

I believe those are to replace the chrome pieces with black bezels - rather than repainting.

But I would also like to replace the lower right and left faux vents with ones that do not have the fog light housings - like the ones on the 2008-10 sport bumpers.

Is there a part number or order for that? When I called order oem parts the said it looked like the faux vents weren't removable from the bumpers.

Can anyone confirm? - Also, i did read all the posts in this thread and couldn't find anything .

Thanks

It's actually very easy to pull the liners.
3 screws on the bottom, and 6 or so clips in the well.
You don't nee to pull the wheels.

part of the wiring harness is connected to a bracket on the headlight. you will have to try and squeeze a pair of pliers in there to release it to pull it out.
