First Mod and Post

So I did my first change up on my 2008 LP G37S. Finally figured out how to post pictures so I thought I would share. Did this all at home, thought it came out pretty well. I ordered the bumper from OrderInfinitiParts.com and got the grills from PCasey. I am a poor college student so no foglights yet. Here are some pics

Caution: Modding is highly addictive.

Congrats. Why did you go with the sports bumper instead of the IPL bumper? If I'm not mistaken I think only the black kh3 and moonlight white were $1200. Other colors should still be $400.

I just wanted to be different i guess, and i really just favor the 2011 sport over the IPL.. It was 283 primed, no paint, and only cost 350 to have painted. I know if I bought it painted its near $1400

Wait? 1400 for a sports bumper painted or IPL bumper painted?

What are you gonna do with your old bumper cover? I may want it if you're getting rid of it and it's in good shape!

I am getting rid of it but it needs a new paintjob, someone backed into me and messed up the paint but nothing major. PM me if you are interested

A couple reasons.
1. Everyone has the IPL bumper
2. I don't have an IPL so why make it look like I do
3. I like the 2011 Sport Better
Do you have the IPL on yours?

For a price that much less, I would have taken the IPL. I do like the sport look though, I'm thinking about blacking out the middle of that lower lip, I think that would look sick. Has anyone done this?
