The finished product looks good - your body shop did a great job.
However, if you're going to sport the ISF bumper, I hope you have some other aggressive mods planned. Otherwise, it will look quite odd.

ok, nice job, but:
bumper and fender where they met is slightly off
big empty space behind the bumper and next to fog housing.
what is that screw tab under left hand side of the bumper from the pics?

As long as you have money anything will fit. When the parts dont fit, they could always cut the bumper, shave it etc... to make it even etc. But yeah any good body shop could make practically anything fit

Looks nice! Can i get more pics. I want to see more fron at side / Fender shots please! also how much did this run you? is it cheaper than the 2000$ kit by ARIOS?
So you shrunk the bumper with heat correct? Or did you pull the fender?

Ok, to his/her own, I would just get the IS-F rather than spending extra $$$$ to make your IS looks like an IS-F.
