Hello all.. I unfortunately got into an accident, and wanted to get a different bumper from the one I have right now.. can any one tell me what bumper this one is?

my second question is I have the tech package.. does this front bumper come with the opening for the radar cruise control?

the link does not work properly so I am not sure which one U ask about. There are three fascia choices for m37/56. Base, sport, and aero (listed in ascending order of the aggressiveness of the look). The one in my signature pic is the middle (sport) one. The aero is the one that divides the lower grill into three sections, it is also the lowest to the ground of the three.

I have the Aero kit on my 2012 M56S. I can tell you that a replacement cover from Infiniti does in fact come with lower (left) grille inserts for both radar equipped and non-radar equipped vehicles. I am not sure if the non-Sport and Sport bumpers covers do or not, though.



Part numbers:

W/O Sport Pkg. Infiniti factory part number 62022-1MA0H.
W/Sport Pkg. Infiniti factory part number 62022-1MJ0H.
M Sedan Front Aero Bumper. Infiniti part number K6020-M (I think!)

Ahh.. it's the sports one that I am interested in getting.. So will that fit the base with tech package? I am guessing the sports also come with tech packages, so the bottom grill for the tech package can be ordered..

I am hoping the sports bumper can be a direct replacement for the base bumper.. I've seen some one upgrade the base to Aero..

Another question is, are the fog lights the same for the base and sports bumpers?

As far as I know, all three are compatible with the tech package. I'd be surprised if the fog lights would be any different for either bumper covers. But I'd verify with the dealer before purchasing the new one.

Fog lights should all be the same.

The fog lights will switch over with no problem. And the upper grille insert will switch over from Sport to Aero and vice/versa also. I know for fact because I went from an Aero front bumper to the Sport front bumper a short while back.

A dealership wont be able to tell you if parts from a different model will be compatible with your car. All they (we ) can do is punch your VIN number into our catalog and tell you what parts your vehicle originally came with. There isn't a big magical database that shows which parts from different models/model years can be interchanged with each other. Perfect example: one of the techs the other day was doing some side work for a friends of his. He asked me if a transmission from an 05 or 06 Pathfinder (I think it was, can't remember exactly) would fit in his friend's 04. First of all, they put about 10 different transmissions in those trucks over that model range, and without a VIN number from either vehicle I had to wade through every possible option. (Side note: ALWAYS have your VIN number ready when you call a dealership parts department) and all my system can tell me is that they are all different part numbers, not which ones will fit with no problem etc.

So the body shop has told me that everything fits fine.. except for the front of the fog lights.. any one know the parts number for that? I honestly thought that the shroud for the fog lights were the same, but I guess not... any ideas?

bump... is this the right part number for the sport bumper w/ radar cruise lower grille?

Call your dealer to be sure but here is what my dealer told me:

I have a M37 (non-sport). I could add on the Aero bumper easily. I comes complete with everything and is painted to match the car. I think it was around $1200. I could switch to a sport bumper but it required a bunch of other parts for the fog lamps. Also, the bumper does not come painted. Adding the extra parts and the paint made the bumper well over $2000.

the fog light trim/bezel/shroud for the base is different than sport. Also the same trim/bezel for sport is different than the aero. This I know for sure. I am 99% sure the aero and base use the same bezel around the fog light.

if you'd like I can give you mine. I believe I have the fog light bezels and fog light grill/surrounds. All it'll cost you is shipping.

this is true, going to aero is ultimately cheaper due to the fact that it comes painted and includes all the trim pieces even the license plate bracket.

By the time you buy a primed sport bumper, have it painted, buy lower grill, fog light grills, and bezels you spend more then $1200 for sure.

so glad I didn't pull the trigger on an eBay listing! I didn't even notice the fog light grille/bezel was not included!
