What about SPC 72130? I have those, and didnt' have to make any modifications to get it to fit. The only thing is that it makes contact with my fender body over harsh bumps.

Seeing it here just reaffirms it. absolutely perfect.

Any chance you would PM me wait time/price of the diffuser? very curious.

Thanks for the nice word, Irack. It's been a slow and steady evolution up to this point. Like ZM said below, the rear diffuser is actually an Access Evolution piece. I'll PM you the info you are looking for.

You are correct, it wasn't cheap, but it wasn't nearly that expensive. The Access Evo was definitely a much more "finished" product than the parts I got from Carbon Signal. Like the Carbon Signal side skirts which required additional sanding a lots of prep work before painting where the Access Evolution rear diffuser was pretty much ready to paint as received. It really goes back to "you get what you pay for". Yes, the Carbon Signal parts were quite a bit cheaper, but after I paid my body shop guy an extra $300 - $400 in prep work for the Carbon Signal parts it almost offset any price difference. Plus, the Access Evolution rear diffuser comes with those cool integral LED lights! That alone has got to be worth the $500 price difference.

Are we including shipping too? I've been quoted ~$2300 on average for it.

Well, yes and no. I ordered it from a company that imports containers of parts from Japan so the inbound shipping was included in the price and I picked it up locally so I didn't have to pay any additional shipping charges either. I already PM'ed Irack the details from when I bought mine a few years back.. let me know if you'd like me to PM you the same info.

Would you mind sharing how much the whole swap ran you and where you got the bumper from? I've been seriously considering it for a while

The bumper itself I got from Infiniti of Cincinnati since I live about 10 minutes away. They hooked me up, only charging $400.00 for it. (the prices for this bumper are absurd, $400 is sadly reasonable)

To get it painted was $328.00 for prep, primer, and OEM paint (code KH3).

All together it was $728.00.

I mounted it myself, took me about an hour to swap the bumpers and bumper hardware out.

Looks great. Now you just need to add the sport front lip to complete the look!

FYI.. For anyone that's local to SoCal, I have an OEM '07 - '09 sport front bumper that I pulled off my 2008 G35S just sitting in my warehouse taking up space. It's painted in QX1 (ivory pearl) and has been clear bra'ed since new so it's still in good condition. If you are local and can pick it up then I'll let it go cheaply. I also have the matching sport lip too.
