Different Front Bumpers?

Has anyone noticed that there are two different front bumpers? On the Infiniti site some pictures have a bumper that resembles the older NISMO bumper with black mesh while the one I've seen more frequently is the one that's typically seen in magazines with two smaller triangular openings on the side and one wide one in the center. I like the NISMO looking one better. Is that an optional aero kit?

Uh oh, I think we have a newbie here. All kidding aside, there's a sport bumper (right) and a non-sport bumper (left). Both have mesh.

Oddly enough, the NON-sport bumper seems more aggressive to me.

When I first saw the two different bumpers I thought the non sport looked more aggressive as well. Now, after seeing many pictures I think the sport bumper looks more aggressive.

Having been fortunate enough to see both in person, the sport model (IMO) is the more aggressive of the two. Canuck, I don't know how you are coping (with the strike in Vancouver) but I think the day you receive your red beauty, we will all be happy for you.

You have no idea how anxious I am to finally get it after waiting over 3 months. In all honesty, the waiting wasn't all the bad before. But now that the G is at dealers, members are taking delivery and posting pictures, reviews, stories of how great it is, etc......this is what makes the wait seem longer. It's not fair, it's just not fair dammit!

And what's worse is that I have still yet to see the new G in person.

Probably a wise move.....
If you saw one it'd just make it worse

No sport looks betta! Which is a good thing for those that just want to get journey and replace the springs, shocks and roll bars when modds come out. Surprisingly enough here in Hawaii we have 07 G35 sedans for 32K out the door!
