Installed Oem Sport Bumper & Richie Strut Bar

I picked up my sport bumper front Jason@RiversideInfiniti (thanks Jason) and had it painted at Infinity Auto Body in between venice and pico on labrea...I

know the manager so he hooked me up with the paint...here's a pic...I didn't drill holes for the plate...i used the stillen license plate bracket...





I just installed the strut bar today and I love it...when driving over bumps in the road the car does not flex as much as it used to (this alone is worth it to me).

also when driving through curves the car feels much better, the handling is confidence inspiring...The G now feels much more like the 350z, it should

have come from the factory like this...After having the bar installed I can't imagine my car without it...Today was my first time meeting Richie and he is a

really cool guy...He even took time to help me install the bar...Again great quality product and Richie is a great guy...here's a pic

not clear what you're asking but i think you're asking about the hardware that came with the sport bumper...if so, then yes it came with two white plugs along with other pieces...

after more driving...i noticed that the steering wheel does not feel as heavy as it used to...it feels lighter and easier to turn but at the same time it feels more

direct...like the wheels turn with the steering wheel with better unison...
