I'm currently working on this mod and here's a few teasers (I will create a build thread soon). Purchased most parts already, just rubber strip between grille and hood remaining and so far cost has been around $500

There's a few of us guys that build em. U can check out my IG-@apwdrew to see more pics. But believe me, it's more money than $500 for all the parts unless u can find em used.

One more !Great !Are you doing the work by yourself?I m thinking to start it after our summer vacation.I have the bumper and grills but I want to install the fogs as well and they are very expensive.I see your grills have holes as well.I intent to have them filled because I don't want to install front license plate.I thought the grills in the USA didn't have holes for front plate,only European ones.Sent more pics please from the side as well it will be very helpfull.Good luck!

Sorry, I missed out an item when calculating, my total spend on parts so far actually comes to about $638. I am in the UK so had to convert from GBP to USD.

Here is a list of the parts and how much i paid. Everything is brand new except the bumper cover and emblem. The brand new parts are all from my dealership, i get good discount from them. I've already purchased all the parts except the last item, but have put the amount i've been quoted for it.


F-Sport Bumper - £75
Emblem - £8
Upper Grille (*BRAND NEW*) - £100
Lower Grille (*BRAND NEW*) - £140
Chrome Grille Bezel (*BRAND NEW*) - £70
Blank Fog Light Insert - Left & Right (*BRAND NEW*) - £23
Tow Hook Cover (*BRAND NEW*) - £12

Rubber Grille Weather Strip - Quoted £35 by dealer

@6sick6, awesome build


@PAVGR, yes i'm doing all the work done myself (with the help of the misses). The grille comes with the holes for the license plate, there is no version without holes. It's standard with holes. I'm not planning to fill these in though, probably going to just put my license plate where it belongs The 3IS F-Sport fog lights are really expensive as they are LED fogs, i'm trying to keep the cost down so spending a huge amount on fogs isn't an option. I've sold most of my F-Sport 2012 bumper parts and recovered most of the cost so far. So i purchased the blank fog covers instead. The lower grille comes with two big holes for parking sensors (approximately 30mm diameter), the 2IS with parking sensors only have 2 parking sensors. So instead of leaving two holes on the grille, i decided to build a custom 10W each LED into those two holes which will operate from my fog light circuit. I got this inspiration from the new lexus RC pictured below:



Also, my 2IS has parking sensors, and the bumper i bought has parking sensor holes. However, it's the new style flush fitting ones, so i've modified my parking sensors to fit flush into the hole. I've also got the headlamp washer jets working on the bumper.

I will create a dedicated thread soon.
