It looks good... but these literal design cue rip offs are just a plain no-no. It's like it's trying to a M3. Can you imagine if a 3 series were to put on an ISF bumper, we'd probably be teasing it saying stuff like "yah it wish it was an ISF." Like the Z3 fenders on a Honda civic, I say no...

The rear of the IS is too wide to have the exhaust tips that close together. It's gotta be like the Wald rear with the quad tips to look right on the IS.

Props for it being unique tho i guess lol

Doesn't look too bad; I'd rock it IF they spread out the space between the exhaust pipes.

Looks better than the image I had in my head after reading the thread title. Still wouldn't do it to my car though.

looks good on the M3, not on this. the IS rear stands too tall to have the exhaust tips tucked so far underneath the car. look at the distance from the top of the lip spoiler to the bottom of the exhaust tip? its too much.

id like it better if the M3 portion of the bumper was incorporated at a higher point, to slim out the entire bumper.

Interesting.. props for being different.. hey.. he's in a magazine and i'm not..

But it's like putting a Toyota bumper on a Honda or vice versa..

All good though..
