Unhappy Rear bumper swap

Hey guys, My car has recently suffered some cosmetic damage on the rear bumper. So instead of repairing and repainting it i came across a 2010 g37x sedan rear bumper. Here is the question, Would i be able to swap the rear bumper on my 08 g35xs with the 2010 g37x sedan? and Would it be a direct swap?

thats right mate, kool yaar, I tried to post two side by side photos of a 08 g35x and a 2010 g37x sedan but to no avail. If I may assume, it seems that the differences are minor and should be a direct install. please guys, correct me if I am wrong.

I've been wanting to do the same swap on my 08 Sport. Keep an eye out for rear sonar sensors too. 2010 models had them available.

Seems like a straight swap but i cant be sure of course, the only difference is in the valance lines, and since the lights, trunk and rear quarter panel seems teh same then it should bolt right up but cant be 100% sure so plz confirm first.

Looks more aggressive, the curve makes it softer. Old rear end with new front = win

Has anyone successfully mounted a 2010+ rear bumper on a 07-00 sedan?
Any modifications needed?

I'm thinking of retrofitting the 07-09 sport front bumper and 2010 rear bumper to my 08 G35x.
Thanks.
