Ditched the ipl bumper, went the classic route

Well, I got rid of my IPL bumper, since EVERYONE has one anymore......and changed it up to the classic 08-10 sports bumper with a Stillen Matte Black splitter.

Just a few pics for now, but I do see that once again, my G is unique, and unlike almost every other one I see! Its great to go against the status quo.

Thanks guys, I mean don't get me wrong, I loved the IPL bumper, especially mine, due to I had the RARE 25th anniversary fog deletes, but DAYUM that style BLEW UP and was totally played out. Diego, tell me that you got one of those ZEAL's from the classifieds. If I didn't already do my deal with the bumper and headlights, I definitely would have gotten one myself

IPL looked way better. Front doesn't go along with the wide ipl side skirts.

People on here are always saying "everyone" has the IPL. While it's true a lot of people on the forum have it..I rarely see IPL's in real life..and in TX G37's are literally everywhere. You see them in person all the time in FL?

Lol....EVERYWHERE! Between tampa and Orlando, almost every G has that damn front end. Hell, I have seen 2 G35's with what looked to be an IPL bumper molded on to it. Lmao

Granted, I love the IPL/aero aggressiveness.....when you attend a meet, and everyone's G37's look almost identical, it's time to switch it up a bit and go against the rest

Sweet! So you weren't bluffing, LOL. Looks good, very clean. For now I'm safe with the IPL bumper as G coupes are fairly rare in SA, TX. This be TRUCK LAND!

Nice man, I have the same front end. I'd like to paint my headlights as well, and redo my grille. Your car is clean.

Yea...I'm glad I made the decision. I love how the splitter adds to it, and gives it a fresh look all over again
