Well if its something you guys are willing to do then Id say go for it! Lol. You guys could be the only (to my knowledge) company with an official 4gs bumper conversion. And if you guys back it up with a warranty and all that good stuff along with a great price, then im sure you will sell well. Id definitely order myself one for sure since like I said above, the 4gs bumper is easily the best looking bumper conversion for a 2IS.

Default GS Bumper

Which 4GS bumper are you guys talking about? I think the GS F bumper is by far the sexiest but across all GS bumpers will the shape of the grille at the top of the bumper clash with our 2IS hood shape?

I was talking about the GS350 F Sport bumper which in my opinion is the best looking front bumper conversion you can do on a 2IS.

As for the GS-F bumper , I think id rather choose the 3IS front conversion over the GS-F honestly.. I just think the grill is far too wide and out there to work properly with the 2IS body. Where as the GS350 F Sport has a smaller but yet more agressive look to it that flow perfectly with a 2IS body. Just my opinion though..

Is it too early to give a timeline on this ? If there is enough interest of course.

Thanks

Hi Guys, Typical turnaround time is 3-4 weeks.

The way we work is if we can get 10 people who are willing to put a 50% refundable deposit we then run a group buy to complete the project. The other 50% is due the week the parts ship.

Will you guys be making a 4gs bumper conversion or is this still for 3IS conversion? Im sure there is at least a little more potential if you guys make a 4gs f sport bumper conversion. Since so far the only way to do that is to custom make one ourselves

Tempting. Still go back and forth on if I like the newer styles.

Any chance for a 2012 F-Sport front bumper???

First thing's first. 3IS as this thread is for the 3IS. If anything make the 4GS bumper after the 3IS has been made.

They already have the 2011-2013 F-sport bumper. Just buy it OEM

True but they did show an interest in making one. I just figured it would be more profitable for them since NIA already makes 3is bumper conversion. A good one at that as ive seen a few of us 2IS with it. I just figured since they were gonna venture into a new market (2IS platform) this would probably be the way to go. Plus im positive im not the only one who loves the GS350 F sport bumper. It looks AMAZING!!
