Will the G37 bring better quality to aftermarket fronts?

Judging from these pictures, the lines from the bumper meeting at the fender, the bumper meeting at the hood, and even the grille, all look very precise and any gaps or imperfections would be very visible. Considering the design of the new front end, I think replica companies will have to up their quality for the new G37 in order for perfect fitment on this car...What do you guys say?

I personally have no idea until we actually see some real pictures of modded G37s. I'm sure that the aftermarket parts will be very precise also... not too sure on how great the quality will be though.

Once I get my G37, I think I will stick to just lips and CF additions, nothing beats the quality of OEM parts...

Ahhh... do you know exactly what G37 you're getting? You're getting an awesome car.

I actually think it will pose problems for the aftermarket.

I don't see any of them changing their manufacturing tolerances, but hood/bumper line joint imperfections will be glaring and/or very difficult to get correct. ESPECIALLY for knock-offs.

Now, Nismo would be good, but I doubt they would release a kit for a luxury car. They didn't really put much effort behind the last car, and that was more performance oriented.

Aftermarket body kit parts often don't fit precisely anyway. You need a skilled installer who has to work it right. I just hope that some good urethane kits come available rather than fiberglass.
