Everything else should bolt right up, but your best answer can come from the few folks who have actually done this themselves shoot a PM to them and you should be good. Stop thinking and just do it!
thanks kool! you've been a big help. i'm pretty close to doing it, but instead of using 2010 parts, i'm looking at using 2011 parts. i think the only difference, cosmetically are supposedly the headlights for the sport model on the 2011s. According to Infiniti's website, the sport model is different then the rest, but i have no idea what the difference is. I'm talking with my one and only local dealer and got some retail pricing.

I'm going to reach out to the folks here, because I'm ready to do this, but want to make sure i have everything covered, down to part numbers, if possible. I'm just very cautious when it comes to this kind of stuff. Any additional help anyone can provide is always welcome as I hope to be one of the, if not THE first one with a 2011 conversion. If its doable, i'll share it with everyone!!!

I have a 2010 Sport so I can tell you this:

- The headlights don't have black housing. They are slightly tinted(or so I was told). They don't look "blacked out" at all.

- There are only two types of bumpers. Sport and non sport. The 3rd one you posted is a non sport with OEM front lip.

Get the Sport bumper with OEM front lip if you want the best look.

Question for you. Do the 10 G37 fog lights turn on independently with the parking lights, or does the headlights have to be on? Just checking as it seems Nissan stopped this in other models and still does in the Altima

DUDE, that is beautiful!!!! thanks for clarifying on the headlights. I like the look of yours and can see they are kinda tinted. I did want to point out that in one of my links above, the headlight, to me, looks like it is definately blacked out. It is a 2011, so maybe they made a change from the 2010? Anyway, i love the front lip. That's an OEM lip? Do you have a part #?

awesome dude!!

Hehe, that's not my car actually. I am posting it to show how good the car looks with the OEM front lip. I myself is also considering getting the OEM front lip.

The headlight housings are custom painted in the pic. I am not really sure if 2011 comes with black out headlight stock, but I am sure 2010 does NOT.

Oh, and the fog lights, they only turn on when the headlights are on.

please don't quote me on that. I'm just been doing some research and according to the inifiniti site the sport models have "unique" headlights. After doing more research the only thing i found to confirm this is the following link:

looks like blacked out to me, but i dunno.
