Converting From G35S Front End to G37S

It's finally time to upgrade the front end of my G35S to the G37S.

So far I only have before and in progress pics. I will update as progress is made.

Best of luck to you my friend! I hope everything works out smooth and let us know how it goes. I am also planning on upgrading my Journey front bumper to a Sport. How much did everything cost you btw?

Damn that's some devotion. I'm happy with the 35s front end, haha!

Yes, I kissed the rear end of an SUV. Minimal damage and no airbag deployments.

All new parts. I'm replacing the fender and having the door fixed from a previous repair before I owned the car. It never looked quite right. Having some dents removed on my drivers side rear door (paintless dent removal). Also having a full paint correction done. If the front is going to look brand new I may as well have the rest of the car look that way.

Good luck with the conversion. You should be very happy with the results. I just did my front and rear end conversion a couple of years back and am still very happy with the results. Just curious, though, why are the front fenders (and doors) off the car? That shouldn't be required for the conversion.

Hey man looks good. Any other pics? I decided against converting mine due to the cost! I will do performance upgrades first before cosmetic haha!

So I got the car back today and wow. I'm so impressed with the result. The car looks new again. The 37 front end looks much more aggressive. I left the fog lights out because Im going brake ducting instead. I had the grill and fog light bezels painted black as well.

Front end conversion turned out great! Always forget how much I love the OEM sport lip until I see it again!
