And the wait will be long for the IPL but at the very least it gives those who planning to pick one up, plenty of time to work this up into the budget. Hope it comes in a 6 MT version. No more AT for me after this G
definitely curious on what infiniti is going to come up with for the IPL, they definitely need to step it up!!

I was hoping to have wheels by C&C but as you all know that didn't happen.

Have been dealing with getting wheels the past couple weeks and finally got them to actually get here ( details I won't discuss at the moment ).

Got home tonight looked at the wheels and was very frustrated. Just sent out a message to see what's going to happen now but decided to finally fill you guys in.

Quality and condition of the new wheels is pretty bad.

Nicks and chips everywhere and the paint quality is absolutely horrible.

sorry to hear about the bad news andrew...hope everything gets straightened out!!

a lot of you guys that are looking at the IPL as a possible future car, i can prob honestly say one of two things is gonna happen:

1) youre gonna grow out of those kinda cars by then (or maybe infiniti will just feel like a meh name)
2) it's not gonna come out the way you guys think it is (super fast, etc)

oh, OR
3) you will not be making as much as you think in 3 years

but its always good to plan ahead. cause if not that car, another will catch your eye and might as well have $ for it!

Hey guys, im about to order the AIT S-Tech front bumper. Is it an easy install? I'm gonna have a shop paint it but planning on install it myself. I've taken off and reinstalled the oem bumper multiple times, will it fit like the oem bumper?

Haven't heard anything good about that replica bumper. Fitment is simply poor on it. If you're insurance is paying for this, then just order an Aero bodykit front bumper Perfect fitment!

No...no...NO!!!! Tevi said it perfectly...the AIT front has absolute aweful fitment EVERYWHERE, the sides, the top of the grille, gaps, some have been too short/long. They have one of the worst reputations for fitment out there.

Tevi is referring to the Stock IPL kit. Its a very popular upgrade, and is extremely clean. It comes prepainted from the factory and obviously fitment is DEAD ON with it being a factory part. For clean kit!

MY front is the Polyurithane front lip that ONEighty sells. IF you want the Top Secret replica look, I would 100% suggest ordering this lip. Fitment is DEAD ON, and you don't have to worry about cracking it with it being Poly.

Zane_ If the insurance is paying for it then more of a reason to upgrade both your front and rear bumper to the IPL/Aero kit. If you decide to go that route, it can be ordered either from the dealership or online. Let me know and I can link you to the site most people get it from.

Here are pictures of the front bumper on the same color as you and CV1
