Anyone install the Aero/IPL front bumper whose car is equipped w/ tech package?

Currently, I own a 2008 G37 Sport coupe equipped with the Tech Package. Is it possible to install the new Aero / IPL front bumper with this feature (tech pkg) installed? Is there a special grill that can be added on the new Aero / IPL bumper to support this?

I actually spoke with someone at the dealership about this same issue. I also own an 08 with the tech package. Apparently, the sensor for the Intelligent Cruise Control will not work with the Aero/IPL bumper, as it doesn't have the cutout for it.

Unless there is someone out there that's performed a mod to be able to accommodate that sensor, we'll probably have to forgo the usage of that nice feature. (I myself haven't used it much, as mine is a 6MT)

I don't know if the Intelligent Cruise Control and the regular type share sensors in our cars. If they do, then we're down to 2 features that we will NOT be able to use if we choose to get this type of bumper. This has got me thinking whether to get it or not...but it's such a cool looking bumper...

I wonder if there is a special grille to accommodate this or I might have to custom make one. Has anyone run into this problem who already purchased the Aero bumper and forgot to realize their G37 Sport coupe was equipped with the Tech Package?

no, your "regular" cruise control in the tech packaged car is the intelligent cruise control..

I have ICC on my 08, and it works just fine with my IPL/Aero bumper. I don't know why guys from the dealership are telling you otherwise. They simply do not know and should say that rather than providing you with false information.

^^ That's good to know. I really want to get this bumper, but I also want to get an exhaust upgrade and I cannot decide which one to get first!
