I was quoted $940 for the bumper.
paid $710 for this one total. Picked it up last night and put it on. It's flawless. Apparently a local Infiniti dealer got it in for a customer and the guy never showed up to get it so the dealer got sick of it laying around and sold it to this bumper company to get rid of it. One mans trash is another mans treasure !!!!!!!!!
This thing sucked to get on. Wish I had researched putting it on before just going for it. I thought it was going to be as smiple as pulling off my bumper and sticking it back on. Not so. Didn't know the side marker brackets had to be transferred over and they were poprivited on. Drilled them out and got new screws and bolts laying around to bolt them on the Nismo bumper. Then I couldn't get the damn thing to fit on. I removed everything from the front of the car ALL of the styrofoam and ALL of those pieces that direct air to the radiator. Still didn't fit. It was dark and I set up some light but I still couldn't see what it was hitting. I finally pulled out a tire tool and popped off those aluminum blocks off the metal bumper that are at the edges and it went right on. That was the only way I could get it to work. Hope it's OK. It looks good, and is all on and fitted correctly, but I'll probably pull it off and see if I can get some of that styrofoam back in there.

nevermind I found the thread. At least now I don't feel so bad for all the crap I took off the front of my car to make it work 
I like how you taped off the sides of the fenders. I had to use cleaner wax on mine to get off marks from the bumper rubbing against it. I also just popped off the aluminum blocks with a tire tool. Probably easier than trying to saw them off.
Wonder if you can buy those sidemarker brackets. I kinda bent mine up trying to get the rivets out.
