Yes, it's direct swap. I just did the swap on my 2012 G37x.

You will need the bumper, sport foglight grilles, lower middle grille and the tow hook cover. Everything else is the same. OnEighty NYC did mine for me.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably install it myself, shouldn't be too hard. The only hard part now is finding a bumper

You only need the windshield washer bottle if you're going from the pre-facelift G37 (09) or from an 07-08 G35. The reason is that the pre-facelift didn't have fog lights in the lower part of the bumper, where the newer bumpers do, both sport and nonsport. And like everyone said already, you'll need basically the entire bottom inserts of the new bumper, fogs grill etc. Although, the fogs may be the same but I am not sure.
I did the full swap and it's best visual mod imo along with the sport lip to complete the look. All the brackets, clips, and bolts are exactly the same so that makes it really easy to do yourself with just basic car knowledge. As far the bumper, I couldn't find any used but luckily my buddy works at a shop so he got me a discount from a local infiniti dealer so it came out to 325$ but everything else I peiced together online, most parts were used. A little time consuming but if you're not too much in a hurry then it's definitely worth it.
End result is just awesome

My aforementioned friend at a body shop did the painting. Both the inserts for the lights and the grill. However I noticed a little warping of the paint in the headlights around the lenses due to the heat they give off. Any and all lights I'll be doing in the future, I'll be using high temp paint.
As for the grill, so far so go but the emblem itself does have a couple chips and what looks like a scratch from someone backing into it, hooray for city living. I'm thinking of using clear vinyl for the grill and emblem, maybe that would help cause those paint chips will drive me insane.
