So i just ordered my ipl front bumper for my 08 g37 and i was wondering can i use my stock grille and do i need a new window washer tank? I see a few diy and im reading mix reviews.

^ i have read that post but it says the tank is needed for the 2011 . Im putting the bumper on a 2008 do i still need it ? and will my stock upper grill fit?

 

Your stock upper grille will fit. If you have an 08 and plan on installing fog lights, you will need the newer slim washer fluid reservoir for the passenger fog light to fit.

 

what if i dont plan on putting fogs?^

 

Then you will be fine. Just swap the grille and install the new IPL/Aero bumper. No modifications needed.

 

^ perfect thanx for the help unlike others that just like to post links to try to be smart.

 

11+ you don't need a Slim washer tank, it already has one.
If you have an 08-10 and want fogs, you need a slim washer tank.
If you don't want fogs and just want to leave the holes in the vents, you don't need a slim washer tank.

Grilles fit all model coupes from 08-13. IPL, Sport, Journey, Vert, whatever. Just not sedans.

 

thanx 23!!

 

I'm planning on doing the same thing, I may put in white reflectors where the fogs would go. I've seen some people trade their IPL side grilles for anniversary side grilles as some anniversary owners want to add lower fogs. As mentioned, grille will fit fine, and the slim washer tank is only needed for clearance if there is fogs in those IPL holes. And shame on you for not reading every thread of the 120 page IPL bumper swap post.

 

Sorry to dig up an ancient thread - but does anyone have a diy to swapping slim washers? It seems relatively simple but I haven't gotten the chance to get an up close and personal look at it and want an idea of what to do before i go on with it.

 

its pretty straight forward. i did it on my 08 when i added fogs to my IPL bumper. if i remember, its 3 bolts. thats it. replace and you are done. i swapped mine in about 30 mins after removing bumper.

 

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
