Coming to a G near you!!!
There is actually one member that put some fogs on his Nismo front end. He mounted them to the middle on each side of the openings. Sorry I don't remember his name/handle.
He had them mounted like this....I think it would look better if they go all the way to the outside of the opening.

(G35PAPA) thanks for the reply. you have just the car I'm looking to purchase. I either want white or black but MAN that car would be hot with that front bumper. I guess I'll have to ether find a bumper that has the cutouts for the lights or FIND someone who can modify an existing one to look like the one in the pics I posted.
How much of a difference is the front of a coupe than a sedan for the impul front bumper and can that bumper be modified to fit a sedan?

does anyone know?
The lights, grill and even width are all different on the coupes.
If you have enough money, you can make anything fit. It will probably have to be cut up and put back together.

when i was researching these cars prior to purchase, it was often noted that the foglights are integrated into the headlight assembly, and after a weekend of driving my new g35 (2003), i have to say, that there is indeed a switch on the stalk for foglights, and they do indeed work.
as for foglights in general, it's more the location that's important, than colour. they are generally lower, so as to reflect back less at the driver (why you don't use your highbeams in fog, they reflect right back in your eyes).

What I'm finding is that this is just something I may "fix" on my own for fun or just let it be. Like I said before, I was curious because the couple pics I've seen with the fogs on the bumper are sexy as heck.

2 things on this one...we have fog lights integrated into the headlights in our cars...rather than sitting low in the bumper. which i am torn on because I get high beamed all the time since people think i am running brights!
also on the color of the light. I read an article in a medical journal discussing the color of light primarily in relation to HID and road glare. It found that our eyes were more adept to yellower lights(ie sunlight/firelight/candle light). That the whiter and bluer lights of HID were not as well managed by the actual receptors. I believe the responce to the light was referred to as "flairing".
so in fact yellow may be prefferable to ease the function of the eye in an already strained environment with limited visibility. It may not be as related to how the light responds to the environment, but in fact how the eye responds to the light.

I'm still looking at this issue because I STILL think the sedan would be sexier with the driving lights down low AND the yellow color my not be a bad idea.

Love it. I like how it brings out the lines of the car. I have always like "white" colored cars and will prob always stick to that color...for now at least.
As for the driving lights. Still something I will be doing at some point. Hopefully before Xmas

Any ideas what or how you are going to do it? modify stock or modify an after market one?
