No one knows for sure. They look like they would be a replacement. The part numbers are different and there is a slight mounting difference if you compare the parts diagrams. You would have to also deal with the fog lights and the lower grill inserts.

i think the consensus from a few other posts on this subject is that they are not. I have not heard of anyone actually trying it and failing, and I don't remember why that consensus was reached.

From what I recall, people were saying that the hood, front fenders, and headlights were slightly different that would not allow the new style bumper to fit. I believe this was concluded due to the part numbers being different on those items. Like you said, there has not been anyone that has actually tried this yet either.Couldn't someone make a phone call to an Infiniti rep and have him ask an Infiniti engineer? They probably wouldn't want to bother with it, but then again who knows until someone asks.
