Front lip ideas? Or any exterior mod ideas?

I'm bored and want to add some subtle flare to the G. I've searched for minimalist front lips but everything I come across would need side skirts to match. I think the stock lip is to bulky and I'm looking for something maybe that size but more sleek.

I'm new to the G mods, anyone have any ideas of a lip that would fit this car without adding skirts?

Also if you have any ideas for exterior mods without getting to overboard I'm all ears....

Wow, nice look'in coupe!

Share your pic with Jose at IONIC I believe he has a lip that will work for you! You can find him under Marketplace, vendor exterior and the best guy on Driver to do business with! I believe he has a carbon fiber lip that will fit under your bumper...Good Luck!

I did see a lip from ionic that looked perfect, but it was from a forum post in 2006. I'll hit him up, hopefully they still stock it....thanks!

You could always do a whole new front like the Nismo, Inven or similar pieces. However you have the relatively rare sports bumper which is by far the sexiest OEM coupe bumper ever produced so maybe add a splitter up there? I also like the subtle rear roof spoilers painted your car's color.

Yeah I blew through a lot of kits on my 350z so decided not to spend a lot of money on the G....


.....But you know how that goes, its a sickness. Ill look for some slitters as I love the bumper, just wish it pushed down just a few inches.

HI! Thanks for considering our parts. The only issue is that we designed this for the non sport bumper. And the way this is designed it hugs the underside of the bumper and follows it's contours. We have never tried this on a sport bumper but we don't think it will fit.

You will have a hard time finding a lip for that bumper since it was a very limited production run, only sold on 06-07 coupes with the sports package if I remember correctly.

Damn! That one is perfect for what I was looking for.


.....Ok, well I guess you can send one my way (ill pay for shipping) to do a test fit for you guys so you will know for a fact if it fits












....Of course I would do some marketing for you as well

G35 coupe 6MT Brembo Premium
IMO, stay with the stock body look and jump to doing performance mods. 06-07 coupes had such a great, clean look especially when compared to the 03-05 models in almost every way - headlights, tail lights, bumper, sideskirts, wheels, spoiler, etc. That's what I would've done if I had an 06-07 sport, but I settled for an ugly 03 and spent too much on aftermarket body kit pieces and a paintjob to make it look modern and balanced when I really should have waited out for a clean 06+

I guess your right. Maybe a lip would be the only thing on the to do list and I'll move on to some bolt ons or interior stuff like lightning.

I have always heavily modified all my cars (Camaro, Evo, 350z, Jeep) that I kinda feel like I need to do something to it....but anything I can think of usually makes it look worse lmao

if you're set on doing some exterior mods besides the front lip maybe black grill and black roof vinyl and difuser wrap, or a colorful bbk alone would make the car much more aggressive
