I believe 2011 G37 comes standard with back up sensors. Maybe check the junk yard for a wrecked G?

Home Depot and Lowe's have Nylon hole plugs in the hardware section. In the drawers where nuts/bolts/washers are.

I used them to plug the license plate holes on my bumper. Pretty sure they have them big enough for the sensor holes. You could even just paint them with a small container of touch up paint for the cheapest option. Obviously a bumper with no holes it the best option... 2010 anniversary edition rear bumper is the same as IPL/Aero except no holes I assume?

Love you too.

Example.

They slide in and lock in place.

Spoke with Brad, there are no holes. We are good to go. Placed my order about 40 min ago. Hoping to have the bumper in next week to install before the weekend. BOOYA!

IMO 4 plugs in the middle of the bumper is going to look retarded, filling them in would be the correct option, 4 useless sensors isn't much better, but I would have to paint the bumper anyway, so filling isn't a hard decision.

Wouldn't look much different from how the sensors look. Of course filling it would look better. Was just giving an idea for an option under $20.

Luckily there is no need to fill or plug, as the rear Aero bumper DOES come without the holes as well. It just so happened that the one they had (pictured in OP), had the holes for the sensors.

So no holes. No problem

Hi guys, I', totally new to the G scene.

I'm also planning to put the IPL parts on my sports coupe.

May I ask where you guys are ordering the
front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper and what their part numbers are?

I've been looking at
Infiniti parts

but I can't seem to find the side skirts or the rear bumper.

Any help would be appreciated =P
