This is not a direct bolt on. If you look at the sides where the bumper meets the fenders, the ISF bumper is wider. The OP did some sort of heat shrinking and modding to make the sides blend with stock fenders.

I've been trying to get the OEM IS-F front bumper to fit my IS350 and its hard to get on. I know it's not the exact same size but i know it's not far off and with a little modification should fit. Do you personally know of any extra mounting parts that are needed to make this transition? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have and was actually going to get that replica bumper up until the time that i noticed something different. i was about to order it and I realized the tow hook cover being a different size than the actual IS-F bumper and that threw me off. I guess I like the bigger tow hook cover on the IS-F bumper better and was expecting them to be the same. I can be a bit of a perfectionist for detail sometimes. So instead I ordered the OEM one. Looks like @murrin95 is M.I.A. forever.

I have a pretty good body shop working on it hopefully when i pick it up things look decent where it lines up. The last I spoke to them they were moving the headlights up slightly to take the gap out because it definitely is bigger by 3/4" on each side. I'll try to post some pics when I pick it up. Hopefully I won't have to modify it myself when I get home. Here goes nothin...
