The Gloria headlights and grille are identical to the USDM lights and grille, only the badge is different so a Gloria bumper should fit with no modification.

my gloria grill is way flatter than the usdm. and the usdm lights have a gap with the jdm bumper and grill i have on now.

I custom molded a JP billet grill and grafted the top of the stock Infiniti grill upper portion to the sides and bottom of the JP grill surround in order to fit the USDM headlights and the JSPEC bumper. [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/actolex/M45/Grill_Headlight.jpg[/IMG] I did the exact opposite to mount a JP billet grill center into the stock Infiniti grill [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/actolex/M45/DSCF0596.jpg[/IMG]

In.
I've seen these conversations a million times, but I still love the bumper & grill conversations about the 2003-2004 M vs. Gloria vs. USDM, etc...
