YES I KNOW, the search button is there but this is a different type of question! I would REALLY appreciate ANY input!

I have a 2008 Amethyst Grey G37s, color code K57

Okay, so long story short I was rear ended while my car was parked, the genius who hit me also pushed my front bumper into a curb.. SO the insurance wrote me for 2 NEW bumpers, FRONT and REAR.. I see this as a good opportunity to purchase the IPL front and rear.

1.) I know this has been addresses in the passed but I would like some recent info!!.. Where can I get both bumpers from (GOOD QUALITY), Im assuming the insurance will write me for about $2,000..

2.) Ive heard sewell infiniti sells them but ive read reviews and they have a reputation for the paint not matching so thats a option.

3.) Should I buy the Duraflex bumpers and just have them painted? If you know of anywhere else i can get these bumpers from LET ME KNOW!

If anyone has experience with this please leave input! I am stuck and really dont know what the best choice would be.. ive done my research but i felt like i needed to ask you guys personally.

Thanks!!!

Don't buy dura flex if cracked bumpers bothers you at all.

Sewell infiniti's paint matching issues is due to the natural fading the occurs to paint and it not matching a brand new painted bumper.

Replacing a bumper is not a matter of simply bolting a New one on. You often have to take it to a paint shop and have them respray parts of the hood and fenders to blend it all together.

Go OEM, don't half *** it, imo.

Let insurance buy you bnib bumpers from sewell infiniti it even rock auto, put another $1000 on top and spray the whole car. Color matching problem solved.

Not true at all...ive had multiple cars over 5 years old and even a pearl white acura (one of the hardest colors to match) and they all matched up just fine. if not right away then it took like a month just like my 09 red g37 cant tell at all....

I bought IPL rear , sidesills , and spoiler here 2011 G37 Coupe: exterior accessories .

They are all OEM and have no issue whatsoever with the paint matching.
