2012 G37 Front Bumper on my 2008 G35x?



Hey, everyone. I was wondering if it is possible to install a 2012 G37 (Journey, I think) front bumper on my 2008 G35x sedan. If it is, may someone please tell me where I should buy it and if I should even do it. I just thought I'd install it so I can make my car look newer.

That and the only other modification is that I'm going to further tint my windows.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can, but you have to buy new headlights, a new grille, the fog lights, and the fog light trim. It's not cheap, about $2500 I think.

And if you do decide to do this, get the 2012 sport bumper, looks better than the non-sport in the picture you posted.

Oh I was hoping I would not need to get new headlights. My friend explained how expensive those headlights are. Haha I guess I will not do it, then. Thanks for the fast responses and will my current headlights just not going to fit into the new bumper?

Ugh but the newer bumper is so sexy! I love my G

I like Journey 07-09 bumper more than Sport, especially with the front chin spoiler!

I know only one person on here that did the G37 conversion and it really looks sick. Maybe you can do this down the road?

Haha yeah good points. I actually do like the 07-09 sports bumper. If I decide to buy it, how much would a "good price" be and where should I buy parts from?

But I love the 2012 Journey bumper the most

I needed front end work so decided to go ahead with it. Plus the shop who did my work went behind the insurance to get some extras for me
