Default ISF front bumper conversion for ISX50

Well, I was hoping my first post wouldn't be accident related, but this weekend I smoked a coyote on the highway and need to replace the front bumper, grill, etc.. I found a few ISF front bumper conversions that are made to fit an ISX50. No, I don't think my 350 is an ISF and I'm not trying to "fool" anyone as some might suggest. I simply like the looks of the bumper, grill, and foglight set up. Here is a link for the conversion on EBay:

I also attached a photo of the conversion.

So here are my questions for those who have some knowledge on this conversion:

1. How is the fit?
2. Do all the underbody plastics clip in like they should?
3. What is done with the large hole beside the fog lamps?
4. Are there "dummy" inserts for the front parking sensors available?
5. DO YOU LIKE IT (if you have done this)?

Thanks for all the input!

1. Fit is hit and miss. Luck of the draw
2. Under body lines back up, fender liner holes were a bit off
3. Holes beside the fogs don't have covers, not do they on the F. I use mine to show off intercooler piping
4. Have your shop full those holes. I had the sensor holes and tow hook hole filled in
5. Do you like mine? I have Arkym carbon fiber F lip custom fit to it.

Thanks for the input! That kit looks sweet on your ride. ESPECIALLY showing off your intercooler piping. Fit doesn't seem too bad at all. I can figure something out for the empty holes beside the fogs and I'll have the shop fill the sensor holes. Where did you order yours from and how much did you pay?
