The sport bumper is better design. Just is.

The more prominent side skirts are also an add, but only slightly. It's something that you simply would never notice unless side by side with a non-Sport G Sedan. And even then, only if someone made you look.

I remember reading where the Sport Package had a darker shade on the headlight housing behind the lens than the non-sport. One of these days I'm going to remember to park next to a non-Sport G37 Sedan and check that out.

Hey ya'll. I have a quick question in regards to the M370 intake manifold. Is it really worth it or is this a purely subjective question? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it since my tune is coming up soon and was just wondering.

Check out the one that Z1 Motorsports sells. Someone on ig swapped his m370 for the z1 and saw some big hp gains.

On another note I called one of our local Z, G, GTR tuners and I asked him if I should do uprev or ecutek. He said do ecutek but wait until they come out with the updates. I love the fact that I'll be able to run e85 with only the addition of a flexfuel sensor.

It really is a better design, IMO. The lines match with the front end of the sedan way better than the non-sport bumper does.

I've seen the different shade headlight housing thing you're talking about. It's a very subtle difference.

That headlight shade is subtle but is different, like a very light gunmetal chrome compared to regular chrome, looks nice though.

Buy a spoiler? J/K, I use the handle inside the right of the lid to close it myself. I had to force myself to get into the habit of doing it that way. Other options could be a vinyl wrap or paint. Hope that helps man.

Me as well. The finger prints drive me bonkers so I had to teach myself to use the hand hold on the inside of the lid. There have been some sharp looking G's with a duck bill aftermarket lid on this forum. Fitment was a little questionable, but they looked good in the photos.

I just use the handle on the inside of the lid to close the trunk part of the way then I push it close by placing my hand on the area where the reverse light is. No finger prints.

Just wanted to give you all some really good info! My local dealership in Tyson's Corner (Vienna), Virginia is offering 30% of all parts purchased on their website. You can apply the discount code at the last page of checkout. Orders must be shipped and cannot be picked up in the store.

I'm comparing their prices versus a few other online retailers for a sport bumper and lips. The dealer is still rather expensive with the discount unfortunately.

Alternatively, I just picked up paddle shifters and the associated necessary steering wheel column trim from an online parts retailer for a VERY low price.

Can't wait to get that installed.
