Still a lil new to the forum but trying to pickup one of these in a few months, is that the sport bumper or regular bumper with front lip?

That's why I love the swivel LCD lens on my (now ancient) Canon. It let's me hold the camera high or low, while still framing the shot.
My old Sony Bridge camera has a body that swivels up & down...definitely easier to get that unique angle photo.
The Nikon D5*** series cameras has the swivel LCD lens...wish mine did.

I just usually crouch down...even get close to the ground to get that upwards shot.
I couldn't sit in a lawn chair unless I'm required to be stationary in the same position for all the shots...would get boring.

I agree.
Can't you just import the photos from Facebook to Photobucket?

dragion - would you provide more details and information about the Carbon Fiber Rear Valence Overlay. Things such as the source/material, cost, your satisfaction, installation. Is it a pre cut from Bluebat or cut in place? Thank you

rpm&my_G35 is correct.
There is a front lip chin spoiler made for the non-sport also...looks nice in my opinion.

The CF rear valence overlay was purchased from Andy (BlueB@tmobile) and it was pre-cut.

My thread
https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...ence-wrap.html

I originally purchased the GTR 6/10 rear taillight overlays, but couldn't locate an installer willing to do it, so I ended up returning/exchanging them for the rear valence.
I do not have a cost since it was a direct exchange.

I would contact Andy for prices.

I had my GTR taillights custom cut by Rob @ Sun Stoppers in Stoughton, MA...the rear valence was also installed by him.
Cost for the valence install was $75.

He did an amazing job on both!

You know what I've always wanted to pick up? One of those single-leg camera stands. I think that would come in really handy when looking to take steady outdoor shots.

Monopod...it will help stabilize the shot.

All my shots are hand-held...glad I have VR (vibration Reduction) built into most of my lenses.
Good for 2-4 stops down.

All these "random pics" were taken with my 18-105mm kit lens...excellent lens for general walk around.

I know the splash guards are different for the Sport & non-sport...not sure about the side skirts.

There isn't any rear bumper, only the rear lip spoiler that fits on both versions.

Supposedly, the side sills on the Sport Package are slightly more pronounced. I keep meaning to verify that, but never get around to it.

Infiniti calls it a trunk-mounted "decklid spoiler". I think in common terms it's known as a Duckbill spoiler.

There is a difference between the Sport & non-sport...can't really say how.
I've compared mine (Sport) with my friends (non-sport) and mine does seem more pronounced...plus mine has the splash guards and his doesn't.

The official name is The Decklid Spoiler...the Duckbill is actually a different spoiler which is usually molded onto the trunk.

Duckbill Spoiler


If I'm incorrect, please advise me!

Um...

You made me google "duckbill spoiler", and it seems to predominately refer to the extended rear roof spoilers on hatches. And if you look at google images, for those references on coupes and sedans it's mostly the swept-up style that you're thinking. (Which I really don't like at all. Too reminiscent of the 2nd Gen Firebird/Camaro.)

Well, damn. Now I don't know anymore.

BTW, favorite pic here. It captures the essence of the traditional Infiniti design over the last decade. Muscular curves that are non-complex and more than a little artistic. Nice.
