few things to mention:
- If anyone ever plans this mod and you have parking sensors on your ISX50 like me. Please note that they fit perfectly on the ISF bumper. Just make sure the side sensors go on the sides as the two side sensors are smaller than the middle ones.
- Regarding a matching sound for the looks. Yes i am looking into upgrading exhaust very soon. And I am getting F-Sport intake kit aswell for now

ok. so i have sp2 greddy's right now but i really wanna do this since the kid who backed up into car seemed to have left a dent, meaning full bumper replacement. anyways. would they just have to chop off the greddy tips and add the bumper and tips? this would be a swweeett mod. and i dont think this is being a poser. it looks superb.

even though I think you copied the least appealing part of the IS-F I think you did a great job at pioneering this new mod. I have to give you respect man. Good job

waste of money IMO....
if you want an IS F...get one....if you want a nice sounding exhausting, then get an exhaust....why replace the rear end of one car with another just for minor looks.
its like rebadging a gs300 with a gs430 emblem.
have to say it looks good though.....

- Have new IS-F bumper painted (parking sensor model if you have parking sensors)
- Remove old bumper (Save the screws and the two tabs that hold the bumper in the wheel arch area)
- Remove the current exhaust tips
- If you are going to keep the current exhaust then just cut it like i did to that length. (This way it stays clear from moving around and damaging bumper or even burning bumper)
- Fit the ISF exhaust tips and reflectors to the ISF bumper
- And finally put the bumper on the car and enjoy
LOL... it gave me loads of HP dude (its all in my head.. i can now imagine i am going fast LOL)
