Default has anyone tried fitting a 3rd gen fsport bumper on a F?

Im sure im gonna get some **** from the purists on this but I like the front of the new is fsport. I know its not gonna be a bolt on and done project. May just cut out the center grill section and fit it. But I think it will look good. Or I may do the f sport GS Front cause its wider like ours.

Why don't you just trade your F in for an IS350 F Sport

The Grill & Bumper can be retrofitted:

Interesting idea. If I were to retrofit it, I wouldn't cut out the spindle grille and the uniform top and bottom grille sections. It's what makes the F-sport bumper unique. While the 3IS F-sport gives it some aggression in the front, I still love the IS F bumper look more, but then again, that's just me. Also if you do decide to retrofit, look into fog lights as well. Best of luck!

I say go for why not be different as long as it's done right where it looks like factory setup. Find good body shop that does custom work. Can someone photoshop this see what finished product might look like.

The hood lines and the bumper lines don't look like they match up well.
