Just a head up, beware of the RhinoKill guy. Look at his i-trade history. I was going to buy some stuff from him in the past and saw his bad trade history then I backed out.

Dang, that's disturbing. It's all recent too.





AS far as these conversions go, I haven't heard anybody mention this particular consideration. While I do like the newer style and would enjoy some "real" fog lights, I hesitate with the prospect of the minor styling change due for next year. Will they look even better? Will they fit directly? I'd sure hate to go through this whole process only to find I could have had something I liked even better for the same effort and similar cost. Any thoughts?

I think the 2012 front end will be the same as the 10-11.
The 2013 (possibly sold in late 2012) may be a brand new design based on the Essence and therefore none of the parts are likely to fit anything on a prior model year.
OTOH - the dealer I go to said he didn't think the new design styling would be until 2014 (sold in 2013).

hmmm . . . I just read in Car & Driver mag that the 2012 G37 sedans were due for a "minor trim change". Perhaps they were only referring to interior trim ?

uhmm...sure, I guess in a trashy, rice-out, ghetto'd sort of way that is perfectly in style with our cars, it kinda does.

How much is everything costing you if you don't mind me asking?
