Installing G37S bumpers and skirts to G37 AWD....any ideas?

I just picked up a Aspen White G37 coupe AWD with black interior. I moved out to Calgary and I'm stuck here for the next year or so and could only opt for the AWD as I live out on the acrage and get alot of snow!

The AWD G37 comes with a different front bumper, no skirts, no spoiler, without the sports seats and the ****ty 18 inch wheels.

For now I've only ordered the G37S front bumper and skirts which came to $1355 CAD.
The spoiler is 1000 CAD with dealer installation and will pick that up next and get the tints done and wheels done.

Apparently, the skirts and bumper are bolted on and glued on and not difficult to install.

Anyone got any info on how to install the front bumper and skirts?

Gotta make the AWD look like the G37S. They should have a sport package for the AWD. Maybe its just bad luck living in ****ty Calgary!

Any ideas?

I tried searching for the user but couldn't find him?

Just wanted to know what if any problems arise from doing the switch from Non S to S. I wish they did a sport pack for the AWD, would make things alot easier and cheaper.

I did the S conversion with no problem. Its all plug and play because all the bolts from the S line up with the Non S perfectly. If your body shop is good. They should paint and put on for you so it easier. I put it on myself of course to save some money haha.

Its busy at work so Just pm me if you need anything and ill get back to you as quick as possible. If not just pm me and I can give you my number and help you through it

The sideskirt is really easy. Its just like two screws on each end of the sideskirt.

The bumper i followed this guide. SKIP ANY STEPS AFTER 9 though. They are not req to remove bumper. ALSO REMEMBER to go under your car and take off all the front bolts that hold on the undercover and etc, basically just follow your bumper from under you should know which one are the bolts.

Aspen pearl in on the G37....well for 2009.


Thanks jnguyen. Im going to take one out for a test driver over the weekend. I did really want the G37S but gotta opt for an awd. Any issues regarding the spoiler? I know the camera is mounted in the middle of the spoiler? Does the camera need to be moved?

For the spoiler the camera is not removed or moved. It stays in the same spot. The spoiler uses the existing mounting point as the Chrome trim. Also for the spoiler you have to Drill 3 extra holes so I recommend letting the dealership do it for you. I did it myself however, Took about 3 hours
