Default Insane pricing trd\modellista parts.

After seeing the rear end of the modellista styling for the IS, I thought about ordering the rear piece.

just the rear bumper piece and shipping was about 3500$!

Can this price be realistic, or is the company I found over pricing the rear bumper?
About 2500$ for bumper and about 1000$ for shipping...

Talk to nigel-jdm or go to nigel-jdmparts.com. Hes considered the "go-to" vendor here on CL for all JDM items.

Just so you know though, that is considered probably the priciest kit of them all right now. It is my favorite too, but I'm not going to drop a ton of cash for it right now being new kits are coming out every month or so. AimGain, Lexon, Skipper, Toms, Seibon, Tommy Kiara, quite possibly illest in the very near future, etc.

Same price from nigel as the others, but he explained the reason for this.
The rear lip also comes with rear sport exhaust muffler, which makes it very expensive.

Front "lips" will not fit f-sport.
Side skirts and the rear lip will fit the f-sport.
This is the info I got when the kit was released.

The rear bumper diffusor is not different on the f-sport and on the normal version of the IS.

Thanks for clarification. But its weird not to have anything in front snd buy the side and rear if one has F Sport.

One option is to get the TRD front splitters for the f-sport and use the rest of the modellista kit.
I just wanted the rear bumper\lip. But not sure I want it when I have to buy the muffler to get it.
3500 ish is a bit expensive for a rear bumper, even if it looks good...
