Code was for https://parts.infinitiusa.com/
Another option is to purchase from CZP (that's where I got mine). I paid $501.65 shipped, granted that was back in June '15. Had mine shipped to my father's business to reduce the shipping costs by $60.

Probably ESTORE2017 is what he is referring to for the Infiniti e-store, https://parts.infinitiusa.com/
Did you place the order online, or actually through the dealership using this code?

Yes I placed the order online, and used the code. I think it's cap sensitive. I just did it and it worked

Hey everyone. So unfortunately I got a sweet little love tap in stop and go traffic. It was enough that the front license plate of the guy punched a little hole in my rear aero/IPL bumper. I've been trying to find an OEM rear WITH the sensor holes because I don't want to lose the functionality but everywhere I look, they cost about $1k more. Why the hell does a bumper with holes cost so much more lol?
I've contacted conceptzperformance.com to see if they can contact the warehouse they'd buy from to see if they can specifically ship a KH3 rear bumper with holes but I'm not expecting them to be able to help much. They say they get them randomly with or w/o holes which I know was a packaging issue dating back to 2012.
Does anyone know of somewhere else I can get the rear bumper for cheap. I checked parts.infinitiusa.com but they only list the one w/o holes for sale on their site unfortunately.

There's no way I'm drilling into a brand bumper. The damage is not terrible. I've heard of resin being used to fix damage like this but then you have to deal with painting/blending. I'd rather just get a new bumper... but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend 1400 on one lol.

Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly.
You were asking about fixing the damage to my old bumper, right? I'm saying that if I had to repair my old bumper that got hit, I would need to use a resin to repair the crack in the bumper. That resin would fill the spots of the crack and would need to be painted over to avoid showing any signs of the crack. When you add the paint, you're going to have to blend it with the rest of the bumper.
I don't want to deal with any of that, so I would rather just get a new bumper. My old one might be up for sale if someone wants a bumper to fix

Also, I just spoke with someone at ConceptZ and they said that if they order the bumper, it is shipped to them first so they'll check it for holes and make sure it's the right one before they ship to you!

Honestly man, I was having a tough time interpreting what you were trying to say in your post lol. I thought you were suggesting blending which is why I said that.
Anyways, I'd rather not deal with respraying a bumper because I've had cars in the past that were difficult to paint match even with the exact paint codes and suggested paint retailers. I'd rather get the OEM painted bumper. Plus you're not only dealing with the crack, there is also a slight indentation from the guy's license plate bolt which can be "fixed" but you're running up towards the cost of a new bumper.
Since ConceptZ is willing to check the bumper he orders for holes before shipping it to me, I'm gonna go through him. Their prices are ball park in the area of what I think the repair would cost me.
