G35X-S/G35-S Body Kit

Hey fellas. Is the body kit the same for the G35X-S and the G35-S? Looking to get a clear bra kit and I don't see one for a X-S, only for the reg-S.
Thanks

Yes, the G35xS has the same bumper as the regular Sport version, so yes, the reg-S will suffice.

Let me know what you were quoted. I just used a guy in south elgin that uses 3M. $290 for the front bumper up to the hood(whole front) and trunk area on back bumper.

Clear Bra Kit

Just as an FYI. I had a clear bra kit installed on my 08 Journey two weeks ago, can I say huge mistake! Body Shop strongly reccomended not having it on. Upon removing the clear bra because I noticed color fade and dirt developing at the lines, the adhesive glue was all over the hood and there was a visible difference in color on the hood. All im saying is, if you plan on taking it off in a year or two beware because it took me over 2 hours of rubbing, polishing, waxing, and adhesive remover. So not worth it! And this was just after two weeks, it may be impossible to remove it after 2 years.

If a good clear bra is properly installed you shouldn't even notice it. My friend has had 3M on his black car for a year and you can't see it unless you're looking for it.
I'm also not surprised that a body shop might oppose us using something that protects the finish on a vehicle so that we don't need to pay them to refinish the hood and bumper at some point.
I will definitely get him to bra mine this spring right after the finish is detailed.

Thanks for the replies. I just had enough of the rock chips and the bra seems to be a wise choice. So far I hear more good experiences than bad ones.
