price is not bad Sebastian I think u got a pretty good deal on the labor itself. I was expecting 3k in labor at the least for that kind of custom work.

Awesome results! It looks perfect on your IS. I'm glad to see that it was finished in time for The Pursuit. Looking forward to seeing it there.

I spent 30min analyzing the 2IS and 3IS bumper and by the look of it both cars have the same similar shape around the fenders and grill area so those areas would need minor modification.

The big modification would around the headlight area but the basic 2IS headlight shape is there. Hell if you look closely where the 3IS LED strip is it resembles the basic shape that the 2IS headlight has so some careful measuring a steady hand and a dremel will do the trick. Once you have that done the rest should be simple.


Also to the OP, I'm not a fan of the 3IS but I have to admit that bumper looks great on your car.

Can you take pictures of the 2 side view from the front and sides?

Is this bodyshop good at extending the F Sport front to match the width of an ISF?
