F sport looks cool and all so its really up to you on what you like. I personally just ordered my IS-F style bumper. waiting for it to come in. I like this bumper better than the standard IS bumpers

I would just add a lip.

The fsport bumper looks nice but too many people have it because it comes stock on the newest model 2IS. I personally don't want to blend in

I havent found the F-sport front bumper anywhere painted or unpainted for under a 1k. I bought the IS-F style bumper and it was 330 shipped unpainted and I already have an appointment with the body shop who will paint it for $150. (plus fog lights $70 a pair, new HID bulbs $30) so in total, I am looking at $580 for all parts and paint

I'd go with the 2011-2013 f sport bumper. Clean and simple. Oem Direct fit. Looks better than the ISF bumper Imo

I would go with the 2011 conversion. I love the front bumper of them a lot, I did it on my 09-10 model and love it. If you go the lip route what lip are you going to get that a bunch of people don't already have or had...to be honest it's whichever you think will make u happiest but I vote 2011 conversion

There is an ebay vendor Racing_Guys that sells them. They used to be the Club Lexus vendor a few years back but they still sell them through ebay.

The F-Sport bumper looks good but also looks a bit girly to me, thats why i went with the IS-F Style
