Hey guys! First post here. This is my '12 Blue Slate K52 Slate G37! I got insanely lucky and blessed with the deal when I got for this car.

No mods yet except for the front non-sport spoiler, plasti-dip grills(on the first pic), and GTR Start Ignition

What you guys said is true. Once you start modding, YOU CAN NOT STOP

Right now Im trying to get rid of my OEM non-sport lip

I think the non sport lip is pretty good looking! But then I'm biased because I just installed mine. Be careful removing it if you do, because there are going to be two holes in your front bumper that will be visible right infront of the wheel well. There is a bolt that goes through each side. You will need some painted plugs about that are 10mm or so.

Ditto - I did front spoiler, rear spoiler and midnight grill all at the same time a couple of weeks back and it transformed the car.

That looks good. IMO, the non-sport front lip on the 2010+ looks better on the non-sport bumper than the sport front lip looks on the sport bumper... even though the sport bumper looks better than the non-sport bumper.

That made me dizzy. But I stand by it, LOL.

Yep - the sport front lip looks too angular to me. I rank them like this;

1). Sport bumper.
2). Non-sport bumper with non-sport lip.
3). Sport bumper with sport lip.
4). Non-sport bumper.

I didn't include non-sport lip on sport bumper or sport lip on non-sport bumper 'cause that would just be silly .

I'm 'this close' to finalizing a deal on some OEM 18's and then I'll be done (yea right).

I decided not to follow the instructions because a friend and I agreed it modified/put too many big holes in the bumper. All i did was clean the nonsport bumper and added the lip then screwed in 4 self tapping screws and 2 of the pushpins with some industrial 3m double-sided.

Dont get me wrong. When I dry installed the lip to see how it would look, my group of friend stared at each other and we all agreed the lip spoiler was a must! I was gonna sell my lip because I was thinking of going IPL bumper.. what do you guys think?

Some say my car wont do the IPL justice because I dont plan on lowering or doing wheels yet until I pay off my car

I was thinking the exact thing, I'll be driving this in the MN winters so as far as lowering it goes I think I'll do springs tops.

Nice, clean pics.

Start learning to angle it, you'll have to sacrifice some grass on your left ( picture right ) if your car was on the left side coming head out first it wouldn't scrape.
Tell your passengers to get on after you get out of your drive way...
I usually tell my passengers to wait for me on the sidewalk so i can get out of parking lot/structure/speed bumps...

and good looking ride BTW
