I did the 10+ front sport swap on my 09, it is actually very easy and all you will need extra is obviously the headlights, 10+ grille and the windshield washer fluid reservoir, the part number is 289101NF0A for that, it has to be 2010 and up otherwise the sport bumper's fog light cradle won't fit against the old washer reservoir.
All, and I repeat ALL of the bumper hardware, brackets, rubber lining, clips, screws etc will just come over from the old bumper. I had a bare sport bumper and everything was there to do the swap. Luckily the fenders are the same. It's a night and day difference, sport lip helps too

 

Nothing new. It's actually very easy. I chose to have the shop that painted the bumper for me install everything even though I could have done it myself. I just didn't want to knick any of the new paint during installation. They even did it themselves so they had to fix the paint they messed up. That would have cost me about the same as what they charged me so it was technically a wash. If you would rather take the chance, you could save yourself some money. Like I said, it's not hard at all to do.

Good luck!

 

Thread dig! Does anyone know if you order from this website will they ship to a local dealer for free?

OP, how did you get the parts? Just paid the shipping to have them sent to you?

 

I'll answer my own question. I was able to get a hold of my local dealer and they were able to price match. I just had to pay tax instead of shipping.

 

Sport bumper swap complete with splitter

 

looks very nice! where did you get the splitter? is there one for non-sports?

 

Thanks, splitter is from R1 autoworks and no they don't have one for the non sport sedan

 

Maybe it will make more sense when I take the bumper back off to fit the lower grille, but what holds the lower grille in? I got the lower in last night and can't wait to fill that big opening.

 

If your infiniti dealership is willing to match the price, go to parts.com

5 necessary items came out to be: $499.28
from orderinfinitiparts.com: $536.72

My bodyshop quoted me for paint/install for $433.44.

So this swap will cost you around $1000.

 

When you click on the link, it shows options for the same part number but for the X, Journey, and Sport. This may be a dumb question but does anyone know if there is a difference?

thanks

 

Parts aside how much did you guys pay to have it all painted and installed? Just purchased all the necessary parts for the swap.

 

What is your brand/model of wheels?

 

Big thanks to OP for this thread. All the best info for a great swap and perfect comparison pics. There are companies out there that will happily sell a conversion kit that comes with plenty of items already on the base model.

 

Lip on a lip

 

From what website or from where did the dealer price match? I am actually about to do this conversion.
