10+ rear bumper on 08xS(pics inside)

So, I needed to replace my rear bumper and decided to go with 10+ bumper. I was unsure about it, but it is growing on me. I think it makes the car look a little newer and more aggressive.

Now i am considering adding the sport chin lip, and am unsure if it will detract from the clean look of the car. I do think it will be more aggressive and possibly match well with the new rear bumper. Let me know what you think in the poll.

Well with that rear you have to have a sports lip imo cause the rear now is more 'curvy' than the front...

Never liked the OEM sport lip. I think the sport ken style looks better.

^This. I always really liked the look of the 10+ rear bumper. Looks a lot classier.

Now I'm torn. I do like the kenstyle, it seems more stock believe it or not. It looks aggressive and still classy.

Looks like ravspec may be my only way to get one with a comparable price. Anyone know of any places to acquire one?

How about the non-sport fabricated to fit on the sport bumper. I think it looks great too! If you are interested, I have brand new OEM non-sport lip that is still in the box. Also have sport side skirts that are brand new in the box as well. LMK and GL!

The funny thing was, Infiniti actually sent my bodyshop the OEM journey lip after checking my VIN. Great job Infiniti, i gave my bodyshop the right part number but how often is the customer right when the dealer is wrong.

I dont really like the journey lip on the sport bumper to be honest. it doesn't look bad, but it looks too aftermarkety.

If I had the money, I would do a front end conversion with the 10+ sport front end and lip. Looks mean and clean all at the same time.
