Can't wait to see the end result! I keep forgetting to email you regarding cost of the 2016 front bumper conversion.
I paid about $1300 with my buddy's 25% discount so far but I know I'm missing some pieces. Also depends what you're gonna do about headlights if you're just gonna mold the new bumper to your old one or completely convert to new headlights. The parking sensor system is pretty expensive. As much as the front itself lol. My goal is to swap it over. I will see how that goes in the next few days

Thanks man! That gives me an rough estimate. That's just for parts right? Yeah I've been thinking about having the new bumper molded with the old one so I don't have to replace so much. I'm more drawn to the full spindle grill and overall aggressive look. Have you done a test fit of just the new bumper on your car? I know you will be converting the whole front end including lights But does everything line up with the fenders, wheel wells, mounting holes, and underside plastic covers? Im guessing even if I went the molded route I may have to get more then just the new bumper and grill. Now I'm wondering if I should just swap out my cars bumper for 13-15 F Sport bumper and save myself some trouble and money. So did you ultimately go with the 16 GSF bumper for your conversion or is it gonna be a surprise and we just have to wait and see?

I went with the F-sport bumper with the hybrid/base grill. I actually don't like the mesh. It makes it look too much like an IS250/350. I haven't had time to test fit but will do so pretty soon. Everything looks similar at a glance but we shall see lol
Here is a pic of my 15 GS F Sport as of tonight. Lowered on tanabe springs, 35% tint, I JDM led fogs. Also a pic from when purchased. Rolled 3,000 miles tonight on the test drive after installing the springs.
