Man, this is the longest lagging mod I have in progress! Been busy with work and other projects here and there, but finally found time and got the bumper painted. I will work on it later on today and get this DONE lol..

Quick question about the front grill emblem.. what's the best way to get it off without ripping off my nails?

It should, it wouldn't be much of a kit if it was missing the grill surround.

Sorry for raising this thread, but I need a new bumper for my 2007 IS350 /w X-Package. How did you get the bumper to fit in the end? How bad is the gap you mentioned? I waited too long and I can no longer get the front lip at a reasonable price, though the actual bumper doesn't seem to be too difficult.

Ideally I would also want the 2011 F-Sport bumper kit but if it's a headache to DIY, I might just grab a replica front lip instead.

because it NONE painted bumper, with the painted bumper will bump up to $1640.99 plus 140 for shipping that what I paid for, but I got the damage bumper
to TOMMYPHAM, if you buy the F-sport bumper package it will come with grills ect..... everything for the complete look.

If you get the F-Sport bumper from Lexus Japan, it will be factory painted.

Reviving this post with a question!

Is there a way to fit the front bumper with the oem 09' mounts under the headlight? I read somewhere that someone modified it to fit.
Just got everything for my bumper conversion (09 to '11) and wanted to check if it'll fit right in before i attempt it tomorrow, and reading how
we have to buy the mounts (avg $33 for some plastic) was curious if anyone got it to fit. Saw the pic that the new bumper has a longer plastic part,
was curious if I should just cut it to make it fit better? Someone let me know thanks!
