I got mine from WAWheels in south florida. I think he can get you one cheaper than if you were to walk into a dealer. Hit him up on Instagram - Junysongo

Clock is either going out or i have a loose wire, the light keeps flashing randomly. I went on a bumpy road and it didn't make a difference. Even when parked it does it. Anyone ever run into this problem?

Changed my oil today because too low for dealer (yeah, I used to get my oil changed at the dealer but that was because I wanted to establish a relationship with them, plus it only a cost a few bucks more than when I do it so why not). Used Mobil One Extended Performance Oil and Filter. I found it interesting that the filter was smaller than OEM. Also raised the height of the rear coilovers a bit and tried to fix the fender liner noise problem (to no avail). I really need to get a lift.

Same here. Until they charged me for a problem they couldn't fix and blamed it on the FI RHFC. They won't be getting another cent from me.

I like the bottom, but you can't really compare CF to color matched, so the top looks better because CF.

The bottom would be better if it was fused to the bumper.

To answer some questions the top is the carbon signal Spec M lip and it would not be in CF it would be color matched and the bottom is just the OEM sports lip.

If worried about the size of the filter why not run the m1-110 filter?

I use K&N oil filters... The ones with a 1" nut built into the bottom for easy removal. And yeah, they're tiny. Freakishly small. You'll get over it. With low miles and synthetic, I change the oil once a year during the Spring.

I wish it were Spring right now.

I've used the bigger filters for the Infiniti V8s for years now, fit just fine and still small enough that they don't hit the plastic splash pan. They're about 30% larger, just put an Infinit M56 as your application.

Because there is no real advantage in doing so? I wasn't really worried about the size, just found it interesting.

I would pick the CS front lip, and paint it matte/satin black rather than color matched. Only thing I have against it is those "fins" may stick out a little too much for my taste.

As much as I want to like the OEM sport lip, the bottom corners look to "chunky" making the front end look like it has jowls or something, just not a fan of the lines it creates on the sport bumper (which looks pretty nice as-is IMO)
