Default New is350 owner, bumper questions

hello my name is Jose. Just bought a 2006 is350 a few days ago and I'm a little lost trying to identify the bumper on it. PO said it was an f-sport front bumper but I've never seen another 2is with it and I'm not sure how i feel about it. any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Looks like the Job Design front bumper
Whoever told you it was a F-Sport front bumper really needs to just go on the Lexus Website and see what he or she is talking about

Is this the same car from this thread?

Looks to be so

awesome thanks guys. I love the oem plus all the lip add ons I've seen for it so I wasn't sure how I felt about it thinking it was just like a cheap aftermarket. it also has side skirts and an add on to the rear bumper which looks great so I'm assuming it's a whole kit? it also has f sport exhaust and an f sport intake. I just transitioned from BMW e46 so I'm still getting used to everything.

I have only seen one car on here in the past 8 years with the job design bumper and if I recall right it was black.

^^hey, just out of curiosity, why did you get rid of the e46? I used to have an e46 m3 but sold it due to issues that I did not want to deal with nomore.

Looks like the previous owner was hustlerx80.
I only assume so because of how rare this bumper is and how you guys both have the same color and even angel eyes!
