So far the only parts that I couldn’t find a car with a black replacement (for the coupe at least) are the coat hanger hooks and the A-pillar vents. I may order the dome light from Infinti too assuming yours comes as described. Although I think my plan B of using the GTR part with the G37 sunroof switch part painted to match the trim is still a reasonable budget option.
Indeed! There's a guy on the G37Driver Facebook group that has sourced all the OEM Black plastics, he might be able to help you out. I am still on my hunt to figure out the correct part # for the black sunshade handle. I keep running into the same part #91275-4GA1C, but the one I ordered arrived gray. bleh
Appreciate you looking into it, and apologies for the confusion. I have the "oh crap" handles - the Q50 Redsport front and rear are a direct fit. The part I'm after is the Q60/Q50RS sunshade handle shown below
Ohhhh. My bad. I need one of those too, lol. That seems like an easy paint job but I def would prefer the real deal. Let me know if you figure out the part number.
Re: the sunroof shade handle...
I found this Shade Handle at the discountinfinitiparts.com website. If you scroll down it says "UNIQUE BLACK." It is for the Q60 (CV37). I would verify it with Sid first, however.
EDIT 25 JUNE 2020: DISREGARD ABOVE LINK. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE P/N IS NOT CORRECT FOR THE BLACK HANDLE.

Reason: Quoted p/n was incorrect to requested part.

Hope this helps.
Hey man appreciate you checking it as well! That is the part number I keep finding online as well... I ordered it and unfortunately you can see it is not black at all

Any updates on that dome light?
Just heard back from Clay at Infiniti at Orland Park- he confirmed that the dome light IS BLACK
It's taken awhile since the part was backordered, but he's shipping it tomorrow and I'll have it next week. Great dude, he's answered tons of questions from me on this topic.

I can’t find this comment you made, don’t even remember if it was on your thread or mine. But you said that you think every part we need is obtainable oem black and you mentioned somebody supposedly found every part (I think for a coupe) to do the swap.
Who was that? I’d like to message them. I am calling BS to that person finding oem black coat hangers in the c- pillar and air vents in the a-pillar. I hope I’m wrong tho. The q60 vents might fit even tho i was told they won’t. But that coat hanger doesn’t seem to be in any other car since it actually holds clips used for the pillar itself, meaning it’s very specific.
They fixed the crack in the 07-09 Bumper from Amazon and added metal mesh and high flexibility epoxy to ensure that it never breaks. AND next up, the main event:
The molded lip
So excited to see this start to take shape. I really was tired of the "snap on" look of the OEM Sport Lip, and eventually I would like to add a CF Lip to match my AK Diffuser- and I didn't want a "lip on lip" type look. Excited to see how the car looks after paint.
