That's looking really good. Let me know if you make it down to a show in the ATX area.

Thanks everyone! Everything bolts right up except the headlights. We still haven't figured out the wiring but here soon they'll be running. We could only get the blinkers to work on them. For now I'm just driving with my custom fog lights lol

For those wondering. I've spent about 9K on the conversion. That's with discounts etc but I do have custom work on my front aside from the factory pieces

I really like how it came out.
Hopefully you'll get the new lights working since they're a big improvement.
Would it be less of a deal if you come from LED headlights like the 450h?
I'm doing my rear and side GS-f conversion soon on my 450h and later on I'll swap out the front, the LED headlights came standard on my car so hopefully going to LED from LED will be less of a problem. Apart from wiirng everything should be a direct fit right?

Thanks for the info. So had you been completely stock would the wheel liners and under carriage plastics bolt right up with the new bumper without needing a trim? If I go this route I plan on keeping my 13 head lights and having a shop blend both the bumpers together so I don't have to worry about buying headlights and wiring them up.

As far as I know yes everything is direct bolt on but if you're blending bumpers, your shop should be able to make them work regardless if they are a direct fit or not

Here is my favorite photo so far from the show
