yes, I recommend getting one that you’ll like and is within your budget.

Yeah, thanks. I guess I'll be more specific. I know very little about cars, hence joining the message board and asking questions. My bumper is cracked and I'd rather spend a little more and get a new style bumper rather than fix the existing one. Is there any type of bumpers from other makes and models that can fit a 2102 G37?

There we go...from what I understand, most of the g37 bumpers are interchangeable and they will all fit (assuming they are OEM). However, some may need a slim washer fluid tank (Sport bumper or IPL). I don't think that concerns you as your model should already have the slim washer. Personally, I like the bumper that you currently have ( I swapped my older sport bumper for it).

Here are some other bumpers:

I don't know how well the fitment is for any other bumper that is not OEM.

Pretty much the only options you'd be interested are the IPL or aftermarket.

Front bumper swap question

Hey man, I have a 2010 g37x coupe and I’ve been thinking of swapping my front bumper to the sport 11-14 year front bumper. I knew u had to swap out the windshield wash fluid box but I was wondering if you know of any videos or any tips on how to wire the fog lights to work since my car never had fog lights. I want to have the bumper and fog lights working well, and possibly want to do it myself, if it isn’t too difficult. Would love you ideas on this. Thanks

You probably have fog lights in your OEM housings no? I had fog lights in my '08 but they were in the main headlights. I upgraded to the IPL front bumper and installed OEM foglights with HIDs. I spliced into the factory fog wires and simply removed the bulb from the OEM fog location since it wasn't going to be used.

In this picture only the low beam, city light, and sidemarker light are on. The OEM fog in the main headlight is no longer there/being used since I have the lower foglights now.
