Bumper Swap

Trying to read through some of the threads and it's a bit ambiguous.

I've got an 09 G37 sedan journey and I'd like to swap out the bumper for something more sporty. What do I need?

Thanks in advance

07-09 has the prefacelift headlights and bumper ... so you can either just put a S bumper on from 2009 (which is pretty boring looking) or swap in the headlights and S bumper from a later model.

If you decide to go with an OEM 2009 Sport bumper swap. I have my OEM sport bumper along with the OEM sport lip I'd be willing to sell cheap. I'm in SoCal too, so fairly local. Just let me know if your interested.

Pros are you don't need $800 in headlights to swap the bumper.

Looks Great!


Plus add another $150 for the front grill and another ~$100 for the lower grill parts... That makes the 2010+ bumper swap at least $1000K more and that still doesn't include the sport lower driving/fog lights.

The bumper does have any damage and was actually clear bra'd when the car was new, so the paint should be in excellent shape under the clear bra.

PM sent.

Also forgot to mention that I also have the matching set of sport side sills to go with the 2008 - 2009 sport front bumper if your interested in those too.

Not that I'm ready right now but I'd be interested in seeing some pics of your bumper for sale and how much you want for it

Here are a couple of pics of the front bumper and lip before it came off the car. I'll try to snap some pics of it removed sometime later this week when I get some free time.

One more recent pic from late 2014 right before the bumper was pulled off the car.
