Yes, it is. I converted my '04 to '06+ bodywork. Bumper, foglights, grille, bodyside and window moldings. I'm assuming the 2G will be interchangeable as well at a steep price.

When they list revised 'front fascia' design, could that include a change to the headlamp design? Or just the lower portion of the front of the car?
Could be anything. My guess is a new grille and a new bumper with chrome inserts somewhere, like around the foglights. It will probably have less unpainted areas too around the bumper. I doubt they will redesign the headlights, since they have projector shrouds already.

"A new exterior color, Graphite Shadow (replaces Platinum Graphite)"
Oh no, they're replacing the Gray Gray with Gray Gray! Thank Infiniti that they're still keeping Liquid Platinum, so we'll still have Wet Gray.
Thanks for posting the list/release. It's interesting to keep up with, even if I know I'll be stuck with an obsolete product. I'm pretty happy that not much has changed for me.

See here's my confusion I thought all fx's came with heated seats even if you don't get the premium package. I thought the premium package just gave you climate control seats not heated seats at the least. Now you have to spend more to get something that was in a lower package? Not cool Infiniti!

based on the 2012 M, looks like the rims are going for the GTR style rims...I wonder if they are going to introduce something similar but 21 for the FX50 one day....that would be pretty sweet.

So do you guys still believe the 2012 FX revised front-end is interchangeable with the 2009-2011 models? I say no way that can happen.

There is no way the lines match up. The shape of the grill, esp the top of it, are completely different then the one it is replacing. And the sides of the grill are a totally different shape compared, where it meets the sheet metal of the earlier model.

Jeff said if you replace the grill AND the bumper....not just the grill. I agree that if you replace BOTH then the lines seem to match up.
Yes, but as you can see in the pic..that is all part of the front bumper. As said earlier, looks like all you would need is the front bumper cover and grille.

Hood
The lines DO NOT line up. The shape of the front of the 'hood', the sides of the hood area, the head light area, it's all new and modified sheet metal. It's a new shape, etc.
You can't just connect a different grill, it won't fit with the other changes to the front of the car.

From this angle, you can see the differences better.
