@Jackfriedman I know its been ~6 weeks since you installed, but I haven't install mine yet. Did you get blank fog lamp inserts with the kit. I didnt notice it in my box. Also iirc I red that I needed the sport washer bottle for install to fit? Couldnt remember, and search was daunting to go through (got fed up after 1st pg lol)
Thanks Again!

Not to hijack the thread but a generic question. With this bumper are you concerned about the aerodynamics? Especially when most are trying to maximize performance? Wouldnt the more rounded bumper be better? Just curious.
Hey guys, I finally bit the bullet and gave in to the OEM IPL front bumper and all I can say is wow. I have a 2009 G37S coupe and have been rocking the regular stock S bumper which never looked too tasteful IMHO. Not that it’s ugly or anything, just pretty rounded and not so aggressive. As soon as I put the new bumper on it completely changed the car and give it a more modern look. Thank god it was the exact price equivalent to the stimulus check… spent it as soon is it got deposited. I got it from Z1 Motorsports and it came perfectly. They also had free shipping at the time so I lucked out. Next is the IPL sides. Check out the difference! And if you have been debating on getting an IPL bumper… I’d say do it!!

It was not one of my concerns, the look of the new bumper outweighs any of that! I don’t feel any difference, but I’m sure I wouldn’t really either. Especially that they made this bumper as the “aero” version and for the sportier and more powerful IPL edition! Just my 2 cents

Wow, that looks great! I have the sport bumper, so I've been debating whether to go IPL or add a lip because I love fog lights, but you've got me thinking again. BTW, how do you like those headlights? i've wanted them, but was concerned with reviews saying they weren't as bright as stock. Also, did you modify it to keep the LED bars on as parking lights or as daytime running lights?
Sick ride, btw!

Thank you and much appreciated! I didnt have fog lights so that wasn’t my concern, but I was definitely contemplating buying a lip (few different ones). However I felt that in the long run I’d probably want the IPL Bumper if the chance came up and would regret buying the lip. Thankfully I didn’t get a lip and just got the bumper instead. As for the headlights they are pretty good and bright if you get some good bulbs. My only concern is the beam points a little high and I’ve been unable to adjust for some reason. It is still bright enough to see at night, but for that one reason I had debated getting some fogs or something similar. You may be able to find fog light inserts for the IPL but it’s kind of rare. Best of luck! But forsure the headlight and ipl bumper combo is unbeatable in the looks department.

I didn’t make any modifications. But it runs as a DRL when I turn the lights on partial. So not the full low beam. I believe that is the parking/city light replacement. When you have the headlights fully on, the strip is on while the 2 low beam lights. The strip becomes amber when using the turning signal. Feel free to DM me on Instagram and I can send videos. @boolin_g37

I’m on the same boat I got a 2010 G37x coupe
