HELLO infiniti family!

I finally found and bought a Sports bumper for my M37x off Ebay and it's in great condition. Got a good deal on it and it's already painted. If any one is looking for one i can give you the seller's name, i saw a couple more on his page in various colors.

But my issue now is...do i need to purchase anything else as far as bumper components or can they just take my base bumper right off and do an even switch with the sports bumper? Also i plan on buying the midnight grille from one of those infiniti parts sites, but i keep seeing questions about "grille w or w/o sports package. I thought all the grilles were universal no matter what bumper you have? :facepalm:

As far as I know the new bumper should just bolt right on assuming they do not damage or lose any of the hardware.

The main grilles are all the same with and without the sports package. The websites are just designed to ask all the qualifying questions for most parts to help them avoid returns and unhappy customers.

I believe this is a storm gray http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-2012-2013- ... SwZ8ZW6zhe
this is from another seller.

Pm me if you want the guy i got it from if you really interested, so you could get it before someone snatches it up since you asked about it. I got mines for $250.00 without shipping.

ive been looking foe one for a while the only problem is finding the same color and they never tell you the exact color. My m37 is malbec black and the only way you can tell from regular black is in the sun so most pictures wont show.

Well my guess is you can get it from infiniti, which comes primed and then get it painted; but of course thats something you might not want to do. Trust me just keep looking, took months to find the one i bought.

This might be Malbec black, but i would email the seller and ask what the color code is.

Of course the white sport one is $600. For $250, I probably would have purchased it.

From reading the description of one of the seller's auctions, it appears to be via Greyhound

PM me a price shipped to 12158 (guesstimate) and maybe I'll swing it.

Side note: what rear bumper do you have? Or is that just the stock one plasti-dipped? Looks good!

Sorry to disappoint you all. It's not a diffuser, nor a different bumper. Its just professionally painted gloss black, including the tinted taillights.

Can you post some close up pictures of the rear bumper including the taillights too. The way whoever did the work did a great job. Looking to do that to mines.

Anyone in the SouthEast looking for a 2012 Moonlight White (QAA) Sport bumper? I'm getting ready to unload mine, in order to clear up some garage space. It's in perfect shape, with zero nicks. May consider including the OE front grille. Message me for reasonable offers.

I just found a M56S that is identical to your M37S just doesn't have the rims on it. I thought it was yours at first when I saw it for sale. It has the painted rear bumper and similar exhaust pipes as well.

Nice find. I'd jump on that if I was in the market for one. I'd prefer a graphite interior though.

I am thinking about going after it. It has the exterior and interior color combinations I am looking for. Still thinking about a black one but I am not to fond of graphite interior. For some reason it looks cheap to me especially when it starts to wear over time.

Ha. I feel the same about wheat/stone interiors. More so it being prone to showing dirt. I'd be interested to see its service records but, I do like how it appears to be maintained, garaged and never seen salt/snow. Good luck, if you end up purchasing.
