I'm not feeling it. Each car has a certain character to it. Astons have always had that wide mouth intake. Somehow it just doesn't fit the lines of the G Coupe. If the end result is that a bystander can't tell what car it is, I feel you have lost the essence of that car. However, each person likes to personalize, so I suppose whatever turns you on and gives you satisfaction is the bottom line.

I don't think that bumper actually flows well with the hood. The front of the hood is molded round to fit our grill. The first thing i noticed was that gap. That bumper in general looks nice, but not all that great on the G unfortunately. However, it flows fairly well on that miata and actually looks really tasteful.
On a plus note on that G though, the rear bumper looks pretty cool. That modified valance is a nice touch.

I must agree with the previous two posts...
IMO this bumper (and most other add-on body kits) does not work aesthetically at all. Why would anyone want to make the G look like another car?
The designers at Nissan got the styling of the G coupe right. It is a beautiful car in it's own right, with clean lines, an agressive stance and nice detailing. I'm sure this is what attracted you all to the G.
The recent design trend at Nissan/Infiniti has increased sales for both divisions and put Infiniti in the mainstream consumer consciousness. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against wanting to customize your ride and make it unique..to each his own. But you won't find a body kit on my car.
This is just the $.02 from a professional designer.
