Default 2008 IS250 Front Bumper

Whats up guys, I'm new to this forum was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a 2008 Is250 was wondering if i could simply fit a bumper from a 2011 without having to replace headlights and grilles? I know for sure im going to need fog lights but is that all? are there any brackets i have to buy?

Your headlights are fine, but you will have to replace the grill and surrounding trim that is specific to 2011+ model years.

Are you talking abut the chrome trim? and what about the lower grille?

I did this upgrade you're going to need to replace:
Top grille,
grille surround (chrome trim)
bottom grille
Fog lights
I actually had to get the headlight brackets to support the new bumper (even though you can use the same headlights)
Rubber gasket that sits on top of the grille
2011+ bumper cover
Adapter for the new foglights to plug in (those light bulb sockets are different)

Is it possible to modify the bumper or the mount under the headlight to fit? Ive been searching and its 50 bucks to put some plastic under the headlight. :/

You can cut your original ones with a dremmel. I tried and effed up one side, and that made me have to bite the bullet
