Hey guys, im in the beginning process of doing the IS-C bumper swap to my 250. I already got my hands on the front bumper which i believe would be the hardest to come by. I think all i need is the fog lights and maybe the grill. Can anyone else chime in on this and confirm?

i dont see why this wouldnt work. i dont think youll need a new grill, but def new foglights.

normally i would say new grill is needed, but from looking at this picture, it looks like the grill might be the same as the 06-08. Not positive but it might look like its a bit wider than the 06-08 grills. the 09 Grill is definately different. i would test it out before getting a new grill.

This is a great idea! the front bumper on the IS-C is the only good looking part to it IMO haha. It looks more aggressive

the IS-C bumper looks very similar to the IS F's bumper, except for the foglight housing. it'd look great on an ISx50. i dont think its been done before and i cant wait to see what it looks like.

Yeah that looks like a 06-08 grill. Not a 09+ at all. Hope the fender liner and all lines up right. Make sure everything like the fender liner and the under carriage covers fit.

not sure if everything will line up but its all different. the only thing that is the same between the 4doors and the vert is the hood. here is a side by side pic, my car is on the left. you can see that the grill, grill surround and part of the bumper next to the grill surround is different. Good Luck! i would love to see this mod completed!

well soo far i just paid for the bumper..found an OEM one on ebay for 150 bucks! thats what started this whole process. I'll probably start looking for the fogs. The grill will have to wait for a test fit when the bumper comes in.
