Every front lip I find that I like is for the non-sport coupe (like the aero factory lip). Any one know and of any front lips that will fit on a sport bumper? Does anyone know of the difference between the sport and non-sport bumper? Any input would be great! =)

Would probably want to get a non-sport bumper and then the aftermarket lip. You already have a lip, so therefore they don't make one to go over top of it.

Or just get a different bumper. I'd be happy just to have the sport bumper, would even swap bumpers with you possibly (if you were close).

Whats the difference between the sport and non-sport? They look identical to me.

There is a 'built-in' lip on the sport bumper, it rolls/sticks out a little around the bottom of it. It probably only sticks out 1.5-2 inches, its not easies noticed.

biggie, not hating but I think you are wrong. I had an 05 6MT coupe with full aero package and it had an additional factory chin spoiler. Not built in but stuck on the bumper cover. Many of the other coupes i have seen didn't have it but I bought it from the dealer with it installed.

There is a factory spoiler as well. Believe there is a difference between aero package and sport bumper. After looking the OEM one may be only added to the Sport Bumper and not the base.

My base front bumper:

OEM front lip (believe this would be the 'aero package'):

My bumper looks like the non-sport bumper according to your photos. The second photo (red one) that looks like the newer g35 bumper like the 07 or so? I have the '04 6mt and all 6mts are sport correct? So my front bumper should be a sport, right? hahha I just just don't see the difference between the sport and non sport. I keep looking at photos of sport and non sport bumpers and they look the same to me. Maybe its just my slanted eyes.

Between the Sport and Non-Sport it is basically that the bottom part goes slightly out vs sloping back.

The OEM accessory/optional lip should work for you though.
