whats up guys/gals. i have a 2009 g37x coupe and i want to replace my stock front bumper with the one from the g37S. will i run into any issues with fitment?

.. i have found the S bumpers on ebay for relatively cheap (around $250). Does anyone know of any other places that sell bumpers at a cheaper price? or perhaps any places that have pre-painted ones?

all help is appreciated

Nope, it's been done before should fit fine

hey hayblondie, the fitment is supposed to be spot on. others have done the swap without any issues. same bolts used and all that.

hayblondie

thanks! and yes a drop is coming one day.. trying to get my intake and S bumper first. Do you guys know of anywhere that sells OEM bumpers that are pre-painted?

for pre-painted bumpers i'd say contact a dealer. infinitipartsusa has the bumpers for sale but they aren't painted.

yea im thinking about having the bumper just do everything but i dont want to get too over charged. and i am going to sell my current bumper, but it has a little scratch and a small dent (you can see it in the pic - on the passenger side of the bumper, right in front of the front wheel on the lowest part of the bumper theres a little damage) so i dont know what to charge for it.

anyone who has done this swap before know how much it is typically? any pics of the S bumper on a white G are much appreciated as well!

hayblondie

anyone? im thinking 600...

for pics, just check out the gallery here on the site, a lot of the white g's are the sport type
idk how much a dealer would charge for a painted one, or if they would even be able to sell you one. but online a non-painted one is around $300 i believe.

hayblondie

yea the S bumper is definitely alot nicer. I am going to get a quote from the dealer for the whole process, but like i said im not sure what to expect.. around 6?

are you looking to have them install it too? $600 seems reasonable as the part is around $300 unpainted. all depends on how much you find 'reasonable' though
the s bumper looks better than the stock non-s bumper, but ive seen a lip for the non-s that makes it look pretty damn good!

I did the same thing and I love it. There wasn't much out there for the non-s so i just did the switch. Around $600 sounds like a fair price, good luck

hayblondie

thanks any pics of yours?

So the car is in the body shop now.. they called me and told me that they think the sport model has a different grill, and that the grill from the X will not fit.. is this legit? they are saying $320 for a new grill from inifiti.. i told them theres no way we would spend that on a grill, but shouldn't the stock grill just fit? why wouldn't it work? i realize its a different bumper but the grills look identical in size and shape..
