Interested and looking forward to the bumper. I hope the tabs line up for OEM grill. I'm trying not to go aftermarket unless i have to... like the 3IS to 2IS Bumper.
Good call my mistake this is the one I saw from China

Definitely nice to see options out there, eventually someone will develop a better fit, if this one receives any negative reviews.

Try NIA design. ( made in USA) Or look up rdlexus on instagram. ( forgot where they're made). But doesnt mean its bot a good product. But I feel that an actual company will stand begind its products more than a guy who sells strictly thru IG or FB. This is not fact, just my opinion.

I like the NIA one but that is made out of fiberglass but I am sure that will not hold up well. Plus $900 for the bumper and then have to pay $600 for the grill. No thanks.

I wish there were more options for us. Someone hit me a couple weeks ago and I need a new front bumper but there are no options for an aftermarket bumper. I tried ordering the IS-F style off ebay but was cancelled twice by different two vendors for quality control.

You can find the grill cheaper than the 600 that they list in the site. I back in typicaly to avoid curbs and parking blocks to avoid hitting my front end. Ikon motorsports has the isf front bumper (rep) and they prepaint some items as well which I know can be hot or miss. I have their oem trunk spoiler and roof spoiler in 1G1 and looks great . You could always get a 2012 front end and fsport lip and new headlights. ( dont know your year) and that will update the look. And the ISC front is pretty cool as well. Mix of the isf and standard ISX front.

I'd be getting the grill and surround from a wrecker. I am doing this swap by building my own bumper out of stock parts. I got a 3is F-sport bumper with grill and surround for 200$ that had a small blemish on it from getting hit. I'll be refinishing the entire bumper anyway when I hack it apart and bond it to the 2is bumper. So I don't care much about the blemish.

I have a 2008. Is the 2010 to 2012 bumpers a direct bolt other than the grills?

I'm having my body shop order me a used ISC bumper instead of the sedan now. If I switch bumpers but am using the vipmotoz headlights, will the headlight brackets need changed?

Found this on the myis forum. Didnt read too much into it there. ( about to fall asleep). It looks pretty bad *** and def not a common swap. It will look great. But maybe that post will help you out. I googled isc front bumper conversion.
