The Back Story:

I have a 2005 G35 Sedan, and I am currently running a Vortech Supercharger that is intercooled. Most of the intercooler sits behind the stock bumper cover in between the 2 ducts, and this interferes with airflow over the intercooler.

The Opportunity:

I was in an accident, and my whole front bumper cover is FUBAR. I was going to look into the Poly Kurookie from Strafe, but it looks like that won't be happening for a while.

The Question:

Do all the 2005-06 G35x front bumper covers have the center opening below the front plate in between the 2 larger openings? I think this would be an improvement over the "stock" cover, and still look nice and clean with the OEM front lip like I have. (Minus the front plate of course) Does anyone have the P/N for this bumper cover?

See image below..... Opinions? Thoughts?



Thank you,

Ian

all AWD sedans have that opening. Its design to cool our front diff.

for you it would give you a small opening for your IC but i dont think it would make that BIG of an impact that opening is VERY small. But should cost the same since you need a bumper. I say go for it. There is a RWD sedan running AWD bumper here, but he isn't FI

TurTLe* - Thanks. I think this is the route I am going to go. I don't want to go Fiberglass, and the Kurookie is to far out for me to wait.

Thanks again,

Ian

05-06 sedans dont have very many options. G sedans in general dont have many. 03-04 ideally would get a nismo version. Us 05-06 pretty much have it minus little differences in our OEM bumper. All aftermarket stuff just slightly tweak it. Overall OEM bumper + OEM/replica OEM lip is pretty much WIN in many people's book including mines.

But ive seen Kurookie and other bumpers look just insane on the 05-06 as well.
