Just bought one and need help

So I just got a g37 xs 2011 coupe
And it needs some work done in the front. Bumper, grill, and hood for the most part. But I thought this would be a good time to mod the car rather than buy oem parts. Any advice on the bumper, and where to order it? And what is this called it needs to be replaced but have no idea what it is?

No it's specific to the car...look in the classifieds for folks parting out or scroll through local craigslist for junked Gs...you can find one for super cheap

IPL bumpers are selling on ebay for $500. Not sure if you're using a weird camera lens but it looks as if your radiator is bent and coolant tank is cracked...

$500 is an excellent price for an IPL since they used to go for over a bit over $1k. Of course, slate blue is the most popular color that's being resold so you'll have to paint it.

Welcome to the site, hope you find all the parts you need for a decent deal.
G/L
For new OEM parts www.discountinfinitiparts.com is a good place.

The midnight grill is probably the best looking option, but I don't see why not?

Hey guys, I need some help. I want to lower my stance and get New rims and tires. I tried looking online and don't see much info on awd coupes. Right now it's stock height and rims 19".
I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff so if you could explain pro and cons on 19" and 20" and coilover ride height. And of course what will actually fit my car. 2011 g37xs.
thanks in advance.

There's several coilovers for the X here~

As far as wheels, you can run square (all wheels/tires the same size) or staggered (wider wheels/tires in back). With AWD you must be extra careful w/ tire sizes, less than 1% diameter difference front to back is a must if you want to run a staggered set.

Find some wheel styles you like and we can go from there.
