I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say that it only has the cutout inserts. I do not think it would come with fog lights installed and pre-wired.

I have two option. One, I buy the unpainted bumper for $300 and have a body shop paint it. Two, I buy the factory painted for $1000. Body shop near my house quote me $400 for paint and install. Which route should I go with? can't decide lol. I don't know if body shop paint can compare to factory one..

Question

Aero/IPL does not come unpainted that I know of. And the bumper is no longer 3xx. They're all 1k+ now. I would just buy it factory painted. Like Nguyen say it doesn't come with the fogs. Many go with Nissan sentra fogs. You can the part numbers for them in the DIY section.

I know it doesn't come with the fog lights housing, but it should have the grills with fog light holes right? the reason I'm asking bc I know IPL only come with black and silver color. So moonlight color will have to go with anniversary aero kit which doesn't have the grills with holes on the bottom for fogs.

Every IPL bumper I've ever seen posted up after purchase by a forum member had the grills with the fog cutouts. As far as the pre-painting issue I wouldn't be surprised if the factory no longer pre-paints. Sewell Infiniti told me that the factory no longer paints the splash guards. Done locally now at paint shop. You can find a quality custom body shop in your area to paint match the bumper exactly. How do you know the high quality shops? They usually have a wait time much longer than your needs dictate, lol. Good luck!

Sewell Infiniti states that

Note-this part was originally designed for the 2010-2012 IPL and it will be designed for use with foglights (not included). please check your application carefully as other parts may be required for a complete retrofit

So I would assume it comes with the fog light shrouds/cover but not the fogs itself. I would call them to double check and make sure. And they show to have all kind of colors including moonlight white.

Don't know what part of town you're on but if you haven't got your wheel fixed I had a good experience with American Wheel & Tire off of 290N & 610.

I believe they take most of their work to SABS to be performed. At least that's what I was told anyway by someone who would know.

That's cool. I dropped mine off evening time and got it back the next day for $100/$150. Saved me a trip all the way to Sabs. I have heard great results from Sabs as well. American Wheel & Tire was recommended from ex-HRE rep. Just sharing my experience.
