Bumper Lip Install with Pics

Had this painted and installed, wanted a more aggresive look. Little gaps, but I'm okay with how it came out.

Why this one instead of the OEM Sport lip?

That is the chin spoiler for NON-SPORT models.

The sedan has distinct bumpers and lips for Sport and non-sport. You have a Sport bumper with a non-sport lip. I don't think it looks too bad but it is different.

From what I've seen from some of the lips out there, whether they be sport or not, they look too gaudy. A little too over the top. This suits my taste. Sporty but not over the top. I plan on adding a splitter to complete the look in the future.

There is only 1 OEM lip for Sport bumper. I believe Carbon Signal made one that, IMHO, looked fantastic but looks are subjective so you do what you like. If you are going for a toned-down/non-gaudy look; you ain't gonna get there by adding a splitter!

You definitely have the wrong lip, hence the gaps. Hope you can return that...

Oh yeah yikes. Totally wrong lip. You already painted it so likely can't return that.

I already responded to you by PM, but I'm including the answer here anyway for future reference.

I bought it at a local dealer through https://parts.infinitiusa.com/. They always have a 25% off code and you might be able to get it cheaper than https://www.infinitipartsdeal.com/ or https://www.infinitipartsonline.com/ or https://www.infinitioepartsdirect.com/. I got my front lip for $318 via Herb Chambers Infiniti since they gave me a pickup option.

OEM ones are painted to order then get shipped. Most if not all sites are run by a dealership anyway.

Wow, really like this look! Like some folks, I find the OEM sport lip too aggressive / conflicting with the front bumper’s lines.

But I think the non-Sport lip works way better. I think if the lip was custom molded to the bumper to fix the fitment issues and get rid of the seam, the front end would look amazing.

Hmmmm, really might consider that for a future project.

No thanks based on the fitment alone.
