ohiois350,
There you are! I was about to order the brackets also, thanks for saving me that trouble. Guess I'm gonna have to beg Darrel for those 2 parts as well Did you get the 2011 front bumper foam energy absorber or did you use your existing one?

Rolando,
Did you order them from Sewell too?

OK, I took the plunge and put in an order and called Darell about those 2 parts. He told me the rubber weather strip is included but as far as the chrome L logo, I have to buy it. You're lucky that he gave it to you, of well, can't win them all! I'm thinking about swapping the rear one to the 2011 as well, hope it fits to my 07, what year is your IS?

Mine is 07, i don't think the rear bumper would make a big change in look? I allready have the rear gfx lip so no need bumper for me

Rolando

ohiois350,
I just got the 2011 f-sport front bumper upgrade installed but ran into some fitting problems. None of the holes on the bumper line up with the ones on the wheel well liners and the under engine cover; the foam energy absorber seems a bit too biffy creating gaps that I could'nt close up, did you encounter the same problems or did you do some rework on the absorber and drill new holes in order to make it fit?

Yeah i did screws two new mounting point into the center bumper, and made two mounting brackets for the side of the bumper where are underneath the f-sport lips, they are tight and secure, on the side wheels fender liners is snug behind the bumper it secure too, i didn't mode the foam absorber , just leave as is and i do have the gap at the duct air intake, since my car is black is hard noticeable, i will take some pics of underneath the car where i screws them up tomorrow so you have an ideal

Sewell does an excellent paint job. Exact match. So for any body pieces, don't try to save a few bucks painting it locally.

hey guys, so last night someone rear ended me. wasnt so bad just need a new paint job. im just wondering if i should have the shop take it out sand it down and paint it or have the other person pay for a new bumper from sewell? we're going to try and work it out so that we dont involve insurance yet.

ohiois350,
So the holes on the fender liners don't line up right? I'm thinking about getting the 2011 ones and the absorber as well, they don't cost much. As far as the under engine cover, I'll do it your way, please take some pictures of the fender liners too. Thanks.

Ca1vN,
Just get a painted one from Sewell. you'll be happy with it.

none of the under bumper mounting line up, but you can just tuck the bumper mount points under the engine cover and use the existing clips, I did try to install the bumper without the absorber to see if I can elemenate the gap at the duct intake but still no luck, I don't think the absorber would make any different? maybe I didn't try hard enough? here some of pics that I took underneath the bumper where I mounted
THIS IS HOW I USE A BRACKET TO SECURE THE F-SPORT SIDE LIP

THIS IS HOW I SCREW THE NEW MOUNTING POINT


THIS IS THE GAP HERE WHICH I TRIED TO FIX, BUT NO LUCK

THIS IS HOW THE SIDE FENDER LINER LOOK WITHOUT THE CLIPS


GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND

Ohio^^ you should mount the fenders with the clips that are same as the trunk's clips. You might need to drill holes too. :P good luck!!
