for those looking for the IPL / aero bumpers unpainted we found that you CAN get them unpainted for a LOT cheaper.
Rears bumpers, front bumpers can be ordered unpainted, while the sides only come pre-painted but are available individually if required.
it took a LOT of digging to find this info

We contacted Infiniti USA to order in a set of front and rear bumpers and it seems that the part numbers we found a few months back in the system are no longer goo part numbers even though they pop up in our schematics and parts system. After an hour going round and round with the factory, I've got to start from scratch to come up with a different number (if a new one exists yet).
So although we've found the info, now the factory is telling us the info is either no good, or currently unavailable...
I will keep you all posted, I know I've been getting a few pm's about this already.
For now Im going to leave it. I like it... Adds some contrast and I'm leaving my headlights chrome and possibly leaving the grille stock. Going for a clean look. But we'll see. Possibly a black grille...
Just a quick pic, I'll get some more up with the D5100 tomorrow.
I just ordered a nice looking switch to wire up my fog lights because I want them to be on there own, without having to have the headlights on and have them not turn off when i hit my High beams.

Thats the switch I bought, when its on, the ring turns blue. Thinking about installing it here:
My next steps are getting fog housings ordered, can anyone give me a link to what i need to order, without spending $150 for each light lol.... I saw you guys were mentioning sentra fogs? Next is the HIDs, I'll be running 8000K HIDs in the fogs and was thinking about DDM Tuning? Are they quality kits that will last me? I checked on their site and the $40 price tag for a whole kit kinda scares me, very inexpensive but if its quality and cheap, Im all in lol. What bulb size do I need? for the new fogs?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!

I'm not going to install it for a while.
I need to justify buying the foglight brackets for the OEM 2010 sport bumper!!.
How then did the bumper go on? Did you remove the EPT foam blocks?
Those need to stay as a seal.

The black foam was left on the bumper. I talked it over with my mechanic at Infiniti which I have become friends with lol. He said leave them on there... I swaped over the upper clips from my old bumper and the little metal brackets that act as threads for the bolts to thread into under neath the vehicle. other than that, direct bolt on. super easy. Had to old bumper off, grille swapped, and IPL bumper fully installed under 90 minutes, taking my time to be careful.
