Recommend me a body kit (front+rear bumper)
So I recently purchased a 2006 IS250.
It was badly treated. Both the front and back bumpers were damaged with cracks and scratches. At first I was planning on going cheap and getting them refurbished. Estimated cost was about $800-1000. I felt like that was a lot of money just to get back to the stock look and wanted something a little more aggressive. At first I was looking at the ISF Style kit but I wanted to see what other options I had. I tried looking at the body kits thread but it was extremely long and maybe I can get it narrowed down with some recommendations.
I like the OEM look. I'm leaning towards the ISF Style kit except I wanted to upgrade the exhaust. Yes you can shorten the exhaust but I don't feel comfortable modifying the exhaust just so that it can fit "fake" isf dual tips.
Can anyone recommend any body kits that doesn't stray too far from OEM IS250/ISF look? I went through a lot of body kits but they were too much and was obvious not stock.
Budget ~$1500.

I recommend the 2011-2012 f sport bumper much cleaner than the IS F look IMO

That f-sport bumper does look really clean but is estimated over $2000+ (shipped and painted) just for the front end.
Yeah, I've been going through the first link you sent. Its really hard shopping for body kits with just the links and having to click through all of them.
The other two links were a little better.

there really isn't many front and rear bumper replacements I have seen other than the ISF kit and the Aimgain
but most the "bodykits" for our cars are lip kits. You are gonna spend about 800-1000 for front and rear bumpers either way plus the cost of having them painted. I say if 1500 is your budget you could probably buy a lip kit off ebay, and have your bumpers refinished and everything painted within your budget.
