Sorry for the poor picture.
Aero bumper was the first thing I did within the first month I bought my car.
Yea it looked Kinda funny with the stock height, but I didn't care and loved the look.
Next came kw v3, with spc front n rear camber plus 25mm spacers all around.
It was a clean look and got rid of the nasty fender gap.

I think the front is too aggressive for a stock car on OEM 18s. OEM sport wheels will do the job fine without a drop. But lowering is a must if you have OEM 18s and plan to do this, IMO.

Mine looks way better with the IPL bumper and it still has the 18's and isn't lowered. I put on a stillen grille, rear spoiler and splash guards, and it looks much better. As much as I like the G, I really didn't like the front view or the chrome spoiler. Too fancy and not aggressive looking at all. If it wasn't so dirty and covered with 8" of snow, I'd take a picture.

G Nepal, I got the OEM spoiler from 180custom on this site. He had a bunch of slightly scratched OEM spoilers starting at $200. The ones with the camera hole was a little more, so I got the no hole model and cut it out, there's markings on the back. He had several colors available. The scratches were clear coat scratches, and I needed to paint it anyway.
I agree the car would look better with larger rims and a drop, but several of my friends live on rough dirt roads, and we get lots of snow in the winter, so that's not an option. The stock bumper is so plain and boring; it doesn't even look like it matches the car. Either the sport or IPL bumper is a huge appearance upgrade. Everyone that has seen the car before and after the IPL and Stillen mod have said it looks drastically better. The dual Gen3 intakes add a lot as well. I went from not liking the front end, to really digging it. If the cheap IPL bumpers are still out there, it is the best bang for the buck appearance upgrade you can do to a G.
Wierd60625, the anniversary bumper is the same as the IPL other than the lower grilles. The IPL has Chrome surrounds and fog light holes, the anniversary is all black and doesn't have the holes. It cheaper and easier to source the IPL bumper and swap out the grilles. People with the anniversary wanting the IPL have traded members their grilles. Otherwise you can buy them from Infiniti.
