I'm sure every non-sport Sedan owner here who's ever messed with their fogs, is shaking their heads and thinking we're a bunch of idiots.

Anyway, nice bit of research and miscellaneous G info.

I wonder why the difference, though. Is it because there's a LED DRL option available to the Sport?

^ Definitely would be good to grab a beer with you! If I can find time away from the two little ones that is!

This has been a very interesting learning experience (at least for me) that I'm sure has totally derailed/threadjacked the intended purpose for the thread that OP had in mind!

I was looking at the fog light area on a G37x yesterday, up close and detailed, with this thread in mind. Very clearly that mesh area is a molded component of the bumper.

Go figure.

"stacked" Sport OEM DRL:


"triangular" non-sport OEM DRL:



non-sport w/ a/t part # b66m0-1nf01
sport w/ mt part # b66m0-1nh00
sport w/ a/t part # b66m0-1nh01

The non sport DRL lights remind me of the ones on the prius!

Honestly, I think they both look more silly than otherwise, like someone is trying way too hard to put extra lights on their car. Personally, I've never been interested in adding the DRL's. Even though OEM, they still look aftermarket.

However, the non-sport assembly sure is designed to fit that section of bumper perfectly, even if the actual lights themselves are goofy. With the lights off, they fill that area nicely.

I have wasted a lot of time surfing the web looking for parts only to have no one to install them. In your experience, are there shops out there who will do this type of work, or am I left with trying to find an independent mechanic somewhere?

I really want to make the front of my 2009 G37x (Sedan) look exactly like this car.[/QUOTE]

Also, is there a front lip spoiler on the market for a 2009 sedan that looks like this one on this car? The only lip spoiler styles that I saw like this one seemed to be for 2010-2013 (not 09). I am curious if the car in this picture has a side body kit, too, as I would probably be interested in getting that as well.

I ended up finding a shop that has been great so far, so I am all set in that regard. My question about the front lip was also answered on another thread.
