But to get the project started you really just need to get the bumper, absorber, lower grills and new reservoir. You can always add the fogs, bezels and lip later when you have some money saved up.

As far as the washer bottle goes, I'm curious about exactly how much the original bottle interferes with the new bumper/fog. If it's just a little, I have had success (on a different car) in the past with using a heat-gun on the water battle to soften the plastic, and then slowly and carefully reforming it with a blunt object to gain some needed clearance. It worked great, gave me a few critical inches, was invisible to the outside, didn't change the volume of the bottle very much, and never leaked a drop. Just thought I'd toss that out as an option in case you're looking to save some dough.

yeahhh that's a good idea, but yeahh have not idea how tight it is behind there with the fogs. Seems like people who have done this is very hard to find. No info out there!

that new bottle really is expensive, if i were you i would try what VQ said and if you really want to do it im sure you can given its plastic and worse case scenario if you mess it up you can just get the new replacement ... worth a try!

yeahh I know $119 for a bottle! WTH!!!??? It does come with the motor and everything but still! And the actual retail value for one of those is $150+

I don't thing that bending it any way will work, cause Im pretty sure that the bottle is pretty tight against the bumper there! Not 100% sure but worth checking again indeed.

You know Kool I would have done this conversion in the first place when i was just building my car, but at that time it was impossible to find G37 parts and very expensive!!!

^ yeah that wouldve saved you some $$ in the long run but its still worth it imo, check your local junk yards or even online ones for the bottle im sure you can get one with the motor for the G37 around $60-80 from the yards given its $120 new... otherwise if you got the dough then might as well get the new one and be done with it!!
