With all the hard work on oem conversions I guess China decided to make an aftermarket cover plug and play to convert to 3rd gen???

seems expensive... saw some used 3rd gen oem fsport front bumpers around $300 on ebay these are prob full knock offs not saying they will look bad though just little on the pricey side no? also on the pic of the car fitted with it looks a little off on top-left side of grill dont know if its wrong placed grill or fit of bumper...

Try fitting that $300 3gen bumper on your car then. You're forgetting how much time and labor is required to make a hybrid bumper that will fit the 2nd gen(plus you need some used, stock bummer, unless you just gonna go for it and cut your existing one) .

IMO the 3rd gen look is not as nice as the 2nd gen look. To each his own I suppose.

i know prob will sum up a good $800 at my trusty body shop but thats using original oem high quality bumper what i want to know if these are made with same process or from a mold of one done in this manner also pointed out the wrong fitment on pic dont wanna pay $1000 for one thats not near perfect.

It looks good. I would love to see how it fits.

Most of that crap imports str8 from china so no return and you're chit out of luck if there's anything wrong with it. Also did anyone notice the min quantity order, this one is only 1 but a lot of the orders must be in bulk purchases. Always a gamble directly from over seas delivery, unless it's Italian or German.

Just wait, someone will purchase in bulk and try to sell on eBay here in u.s.

You're correct. What urks me is that the IS is limited to bumper covers. I believe there's only a few aftermarket ones and I personally don't like the way they look. So we are forced to buy the front spoiler and or whole kit. I'm still in the process of converting my front bumper and will mold my kit to it. The rear I'll be doing after and that's a mission on its own. I'd rather buy the bumper cover that has a nice spoiler molded to it but the one I saw was $600, not painted, and I'm not dishing out that money when I can mold and retrofit my own. So either pay or do it yourself.

I'm beginning to see some a few 2nd gen to 3rd gen bumper conversions in China in instagram

I wonder if this is the same kit or these are actual conversions..

it is Korean and not chinese; so i doubt it is from China.

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.
