Front bumper bracket & stiffener part #'s?

I have a 2008 G37 Sport Coupe.

I need help with the part numbers for the White plastic piece that attaches to the Inside of the front bumper & also the metal bracket.

Which side? Drivers side is "right" and passenger is "left."

I broke mine and bought a replacement direct from the dealership for 40 bucks or so.

I need both sides - white piece & the metal piece. My white pieces snapped and tossed the metal pieces bc thought wasn't a big deal but there is a gap between the bumper and the hood/fender by the light that's starting to bother me lol.

I'd like to order online but don't know the part #'s

Would it be Item #6 & 11? on this link - 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport Bumper & Components

Would it Include the bolts?

Yeah, they're important. They stiffen your bumper on either side of the grille and bolt in such a way to eliminate the gap above your headlights. It's a stupid design, if you look, the white plastic stiffener bracket just holds a steel nut for you to bolt the M6 bolt in to. If you overtighten, you will break the nut free and it'll just spin in place. I only hand tighten the stiffener brackets from now on, no socket wrench.

Yes, part #'s 6 and 11 will get you going. They do not come with the bolt, but the bolt is just a standard M6, 10mm bolt. You can buy it online, or from the dealership, or amazon. I got 50 bolts for 4-5 dollars to replace the ones that keep falling out of my undershroud.

Yes I agree it is a stupid design. Do you happen to know if #6 is the white plastic bracket and #11 is the metal bracket? or is it reversed?

On there website you wouldn't happen to know the bolt part #s? You said it's a M6 10mm bolt. How long is the bolt? 3/4" or 1"?

I also need some bolts for the front grille, I found those no problem.

Thanks for your help so far!

This whole car is held together with 10mm bolts and pop clips, lol.

Part 6 is the white plastic bracket w/nut, and part 11 is the steel bracket.

I believe the bolts are M6, which gives them a 10mm head, 1" length
