Looks like its coming along nicely! The lenses are interesting, never seen someone selling just that part. When I did my AFS headlights I had to buy an entire DEPO set and swap the lenses over. Also he has it labeled wrong, its 2010+ not 2007.
Took the G to the Infiniti dealership to get an oil change. Guys in the service bay were surprised and excited to see a manual car because it's been a long time since one came in
Progress was made. Contrary to popular belief buying the bumper straight from Infiniti was the cheapest option. $370 out the door.
I was able to save the bumper stiffeners which saved me $100. My old lip survived and so did other things. I'm glad my under shield was off prior to the crash, this shield was made based off the original body panel alignment and man what a pleasure it was to see it bolt up without any modification - shield bolts like the original one so any misalignment would show me what's off.
I still have to find hood latches, fender liner, crash foam and some other things but results are promising.
Appreciate the kind words guys
Here's some additional progress:
The car is back on the road, I have a small coolant leak one of my coolant bypass.
Need the crash bar foam to bring up the bumper a bit.
Changing all of the tires, alignment and going to try to cut the rotors as well.
On the positive side I found a charcoal gray metallic wrap that offers promising results.
$50 for the hood i think is a fair try to get it all under one color, this will also let me know if I'll be able to handle the whole car in wrap.
We will see.
Got an amazon fire hd10 tablet from qvc a few weeks on sale. It came with a coupon from caseable for a case. Suffice to say the case is a POS, but I choose the option to print my own pic onto it.
I replaced an Interstate MT-35 with a Diehard Platinum AGM.
Also replaced my XPR50 Diode Dynamics reverse lights with XPR921.
On the left is the new bulb, on the right is the old. There's still tint on the tail lights but soon that will change, but you can see there's a decent difference there.

In time I would like to hear your impressions on the XPR921's. I have been on the fence about trying a pair- even though $90 is rather steep for 2 rarely used bulbs. The reverse lights on the G are practically useless. I have DD's back there now but it's been so long I don't recall which variety.

Extremely useful if you have a backup cam because more light for the sensor of the camera. Plus, it's cool. The idea that people have a very bright indication that you are backing up. The XP50 bulbs also costed $90, so I've spent $180 on reverse lights for this car now, but I am selling the XP50s for a lower price in the classifieds if you wanted to check them out. There isn't a big difference between them and the XPR 921 but there's a very big difference between OEM and the XP50.
