It won't fit, unfortunately. The brackets are different. Same thing with the Brembo Gold BBK from 350z.

I don't know that it's physically possible like it is on the Z's. I would like to be able to though.
I believe it's all empty space up there though.

Yeah, it looks nice, especially with just a single exhaust. I'm just wondering if with the FX being higher up it wouldn't look as nice, as well as depending on how the bumper lines up. I also wonder if the lower unpainted parts of our bumper is as flexible as the 350Z bumper.
same. Also it only works for after market exhausts with big cans like on the 350z. ones with nismos or stock looks weird.

So after looking under the FX and comparing to the Z DIY for it, there's a couple things I noticed. Since the difference between the two tip locations, we have a longer underhang of the exhaust, since both bumpers extend underneath to the OEM muffler. What this means is that the Z has a couple tabs that hold the bumper, while we have what seems to be a metal frame that hold our bumper extension in place. Might make things easier though as simply bending that frame would pull that part of the bumper up and all the mounts already exist.
At first I thought our bumper was too sturdy to bend, or even move really, but I felt underneath and found the metal frame on top. Our bumper sits a little higher though it seems, and I could see the bottom half of my cans as is. It also seemed like one half of the bumper was hanging lower, which suggests that maybe it is doable.

The "bumper extension":
Metal frame thing, could either bend them, or mount them up higher, which would pull the extension up and away from view more:

I only saw this mod recently on my350z so it is interesting to see you guys all of a sudden talking about it.
The problem I see is stretching of the plastic leading to discoloration, or weird deformations in the lines of the upper portion of that plastic portion.
I think with some heat it will most definitely be possible to get the look, but I certainly am hesitant to be the first to try...

Yeah, Z/G's have different brackets. They need an adapter to run Akebonos while it's a straight bolt on to the FX.

Ya I thought that I could just buy a bracket so that it'll work on the fx but it was a no go.

Out of curiosity is there a difference between the FX version of the RareJDM harness cover and the 350/g35 version?
They all have different part numbers:
FX-RCVRP
G35-RCVRP
350Z-RCVRP
Only reason I ask is because the G35 and 350z polished versions are 15 bucks cheaper...

Are you looking at CZP? Seems like they messed up on the price and made the polished and matte black the same on the FX.
It's cheaper here though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-JDM-PO...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f2d5bd18e
You could PM CZP on my350z and see if they give a lower price to forum members.
