Well i think im going to go ahead and buy the fogs tomorrow from the dealership, no where else to get them. The grille i was not too sure about because the dealership wanted 500 bucks for the whole grille but looking at it closely, i believe the only difference between the grilles are the grille "surrounds" not the inside of the grill itself. For the grill surround i think the dealership wanted around 180 bucks or something. So im going to go ahead and pick up the grill surround and fogs tomorrow and do a test fit. Hopefully everything works out.

 

^^ Why not test fit with out buying fogs...

Fogs can get slapped in once you confirm the bumper cover fits perfectly..

Coming from a member who rolled around in a brand new 2008 with NO fogs, NO Front Grill and NO bottom lip....

** just a suggestion

cant wait to see this finish!

 

It's been mentioned, I don't see why he hasn't test fitted it yet. If things go sour PM me. I'll think about taking the bumper off of your hands.

 

if you do, that means you wouldnt have a lip to go with that bumper

 

I have that all figured out

 

O'rly? my mind starts to wonder...hmmmmm..... Do it up! i wanna see. haha

 

Ok So i did a test fit. Everything lines up perfect. Pretty much a direct bolt on. They only ONE hole that doesnt line up is the Hole that goes from the bumper to the hole on the LH/RH wheel well splash guard. Other then that most of them line up.

Oh yea remember i bought the bumper used on ebay. So its a little beat up looking. Still need to get that painted. Went to order the parts. I am gonna order the grill surround and the lower grill and that little square cover for the tow hook. But the fogs..They want $283.03 For EACH foglight. I dont know if i really want to pay that much for fogs! Anyone know another source i can get fogs from??

 

wow fitments on point. Looks good

 

+ 1 that looks like its going to be good.

let me know how the grill goes? I WANT an LX-Mode but dont know if the grill insert is the same size as the 4doors.

 

im pretty sure the insert is the same. its just the chrome surround that has a little different shape. I went to the dealership today and the insert looked identical from what i could see. I really need to figure out how to get the fogs..or just step up and pay for it. But thats going to hurt like crazy. The wallet i mean. lol

 

That's a great update. Props to you

Pretty sure the ISC has its own grill

Compare

The top sides of the grill look thick


Definitely not the 2009-2010 IS250 front grill.


The bottom has a different shape to it.

I'll see how much I can get IS-C fogs for.

 

looks sick bro, keep posting the pics
