Its pretty simple to figure out your costs, go to the dealership and ask them for the part numbers and prices of the parts I mentioned above, then decide if you want to order parts from the dealership or an online parts store..... pretty simple takes about 20 mins. I paid over 1100 becuz as i said in the post that is without taxes or shipping or paint or install..................... that was strictly parts........

What about on an 08 non sport?

My friend borrowed my G and got into a small accident that totaled my non sport bumper. Luckily no other damage.

Now I am trying to decide whether to stick with the non sport bumper, now it will be unique, or change to the newer non sport or possibly sport, I do like the fogs.

I am guessing the new designs come with side skirts also.

Is there anything else I would need to add to the list since mine is a non sport?

I am not sure about non sport cars, you will have to do your research on that. I am guessing it would work the same way. I mean its kind of a trial and error. I am not sure of to many people doing a bumper swap with the 2011 model bumpers so there is not much info on what works and what doesnt. I just took a chance and it worked.

Honestly, you dont even need the lower grilles...buy your own mesh online for far cheaper than the cost of Infiniti's grill, and it will look better if you get quality mesh.

478 bumper
170 right fog
170 left fog
100 washer tank

REAL cost is $918 + Tax + Shipping + Paint.

Yall can do it however you want to. I am just saying oem parts. You can also try and put piaa fogs in there I dunno. I shoudnt of even put a price up there. Cuz people are gunna change it around, I was just going based off my charges. So however you figure the price on your own is cool.

Not sure man, Its a trial and error process. You basically need to try and and if it works it works. There are not too many people who have done this so there is limited info. I got info from 180 customs about the washer tank. Yes it should be a direct fit, but then again there can be some minor changes in the bumper that could make it not fit right, or some extra parts. This is just the 2011 sport bumper that is a direct fit. I took a chance and it worked. Just need to do research.

Great share man! Looking forward to pictures. What's your take on ordering aftermarket fog light assemblies? I wonder if Nissan actually makes the foglights or if someone like Hella or something makes them. Could be a lot cheaper ordering from the manufacturer.
I'm all for a $500 painted bumper. Screw a washer tank. I don't think I've used mine since I've had it lol.

I think they are good. I think yogregb's fogs look great. Plus they are half the cost. I just went with oem's because they fit directly in to the open hole of the faux vent.

Yeah that's what I meant. Could aftermarket ones fit in the hole?

Not sure, you would have to custome fit it becuz on the stock ones all the holes and parts match up perfect to each other. You could buy ur own mesh like someone said above, I dunno about that though
