Selling the coils would offset the cost but the thought of having some good dampeners with bags would be good too. I'm curios as to how much fab work is needed to properly mate the bags with the coils.


I definitely want e level with my setup if I end up going this route. My buddy just ordered his. He's more excited about the iPhone app the comes with it than anything else.

^Nice! Where did you pickup the 03-04 bumper from? Are you going to buy the mudguards from the dealership?

I would recommend getting the mudguards, everything will line up properly and won't require modification.

Getting them from Ionic is a great option since it probably lines up with their lip perfectly. If you want OEM ones hit up Tony at Riverside Infiniti or Phil at Grubbs Infiniti.

For the trunk release button you can either have the body shop cut a hole in the bumper or go without it. I didn't cut the hole in mine because it looks cleaner without it and I never use the trunk release button.

I plan on staying without the trunk release,definitely cleaner, but is it a removable button, or does just putting the new bumper over it solve the situation? I'm wondering if the mudguards ionic sells are actual oem or ones he has made.

Great question about the trunk release. I'm pretty sure it can just rest behind the bumper so that if you ever switch back to an 05-06 you could still use it. I don't recall the body shop removing the button mechanism from the car.

The button bolts to the back of the 05 bumper so you can actually just unplug it. Marcus you should actually work on your car every once and awhile. You may learn something. lol j/k

You ever thought of getting a bodyshop to customize a hole for the trunk release button? Or has it been done at all?
