Hey, I need to replace my bumper and was looking at other bumpers to replace my 08 bumper. Does anyone know if the 2009 bumper will fit the 06-08 models or if the ISc bumper fit the 06-08 models? And I mean a direct bolt on, with no fabricating to do.

Thanks.

To change the front bumper to the 09 should be only bumper and grill no big deal. Here is a conversion to an ISC https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...mper-swap.html

Yup, also Artisan Spirit, but you need a 09 grill for that.

I was told that the 2009 bumper would not fit the 2008's.
Im just trying to verify if the 2009 bumper fits the 2008.
I know ill need new fogs and a grill too.

i know its super old but would it be difficult to go from 09 to an 08 bumper? i found one with both grills but would the headlights and foglights be different?

I was thinking about doing the same thing and did some research on it for a couple days now. I'm in love with the 09 TOM's front lip but I have a 07 2IS. Sewell has all the OEM parts listed with prices for the 06-08 and 09+. From looking at the part numbers, the fog lights and lower grill are the same. Everything else you probably have to buy. I also emailed Sewell about a conversion kit like they do for the '11 F-sport bumper but they don't have one or plan to make one.

From what I know..

The 06-10 ISx50 share the same foglights even though the bumpers are different.

Headlight exterior shape haven't changed throughout the years on all 2IS models, only the headlight interior design changed (2011). Problem won't be headlight, the headlight bumper bracket may or may not be compatible with another bumper. This bracket is what holds and supports the bumper under the headlight. I'm not sure which headlight bumper bracket is compatible with what bumper, but I know the 09-10 ISx50 bracket is different and keeps the 2011 bumper from mounting correctly.

Upper and lower grills are specific to their bumper generation and model.

Hood and fenders are the same on ISx50 and ISx50c models, so fitment won't be a issue in this area. I heard of people mounting IS-F bumpers on ISx50's but don't know if modding was needed in this area to make it fit.

Yeah, as far as Hood and Fenders, they have not changed at all from 2006 to 2010. Mounting an ISF bumper on a ISx50 WILL NOT be a direct bolt on, and needs a good fabrication hand to crop/remold the bumper to make it sit anywhere close to perfect. The ISF's fenders are about a half inch or so wider than a ISx50 on both sides. Ultimately, you can do a perfect bolt on, IF and only IF you also get the ISF Fenders and Side Skirts (not worth the money and headache IMHO).

I also am 95% sure im going to swap out my bumper and get my headlights painted black. However, I still have not found a definitive answer as to what year bumpers are interchangeable with what year 2IS???

Is it confirmed that the 06-08 IS's cannot fit the 2011 bumper upgrade from Sewell? If so, will the 09's IS bumper fit the 06-07 IS's?

Mods, lets get a sticky up for this...
