I feel like, if you are going to do a F conversion, at least do it right. and do it all. not just front/rear bumpers.
I too actually have ONLY the isf front bumper. i love it. super aggressive and looks great. I have a is350, im badgeless. no front emblem no nothing anywhere. The other IS drivers are not going to be fooled and the conversion looks halfass honestly. Go big or go home. de-badge if nothing else.

i think its kinda funny that you could throw $3000 and change on a new bumper, rims and paint and people may say your car looks good. but throw a $25 badge on it and people starting hating.
think of all the people that would give you props if you only bought the ISF rims and did nothing else. roll up to a car meet and people would jock your car and rims for less than half of what you spent. flip it around though and show up with no mods and just an F badge and people would chase you away.
I think when it comes down to it; get a f sport bumper if you want people in a forum to give you props and not cause any riffs, but stick with the ebay bumper because you like it and 95% of the people on the street wont even care a bit. It might not be what i'd do but i can tell you at least put some thought into what you wanted to do and went through with it.
the 2011+ IS bumper looks good and i think its an upgrade from my 06 front, but it's c'mon everyone, it's nothing special. I see old ladies driving is250s with that bumper around all the time. the F bumper is still more unique, fake or real. looks decent enough.
obviously lexus didn't think they needed to modify the front bumper of the 2011+ isf like they did the regular IS, so i'd say the design is good.
dont get discouraged and just enjoy your ride.

hey man, looks good.
just do what makes you feel good at the end of the day.
There are some minor adjustments you have to fix, but rome wasn't built in a day. Take your time and mod your car carefully. If you rush things, it will eventually turn into a mess.
Ignore the hateful comments, and just do what you want.
However, aside from the hateful comments, most of the other ones are right. If you want to get the IS-F look, you should include the fender at the very least. "do it once, do it right" always follow those words when modding a car and you'll never go wrong!
BTW, you might want to double check with your painter. The color is off.
GL!
