All done!
I visited my sister this weekend and my brother in law (who is an automotive painter, what luck!) donated his Saturday to getting the bumper painted and installed. I'll try and find the motivation to post part numbers later, but I'll list below the parts and considerations for this specific kit.
- The F-Sport bumper itself is bolt on.
- Holes need to be made for the side proximity sensors (5/8" hole). There's a guide stenciled on the inside of the bumper so there's no guessing where to make the hole.
- Parts:
- Mounting hardware for side proximity sensors and grill sensors
- Bumper shock absorber (I didn't realize this and just took it off). You can probably trim it down if you have a saw since it's just compressed foam.
- Headlight sprayer covers (If those holes are in yours). We used some clips to secure them from the back side and cut a gasket to sit between the paint and the cover. Looks good, and we'll see how it holds up. You could also fill the holes if you have time for that.
- Fender liner clip? There's a part that attaches the fender liner to the bumper that is different for the F-Sport bumper. These come with the kit I bought.
- Kit comes with the 3 grill pieces
- Bottom side vents (where fog lights would go). They come with this kit. My car had foglights, but I left them off since I had no way to mount them and I don't think

Your bro in law is a boss pro!! That color match and paint job is flawless. Black is the hardest color to match and it was done very well.
Go easy on the paint, it can take up to 30 days for it to fully cure and settle in. Avoid roads with lots of dirt and rocks, as you can get paint chips very easily before the paint cures.

i did this Mod, probably the best mod you can do to your non-F-sport lexus. I got it from the same ebay seller.
its a perfect fit and very high quality, a paint shop will prime sand and paint match the bumper for about $300-450
Install takes about 3 hours if you are taking your time. you will loose your fog lights, but who cares, ive never fancied fog lights.
as for the headlamp washer holes, just get the heads and jerry rig them over the holes, i personally think the washer heads look really good. Paint match them to your car or paint the chrome black pearl to make them pop.
get the washer heads here, craps only 14 bucks for both sides.
