The body shop say they need to cut some part of the bumper to fit, but mostly it fit nice. That's what the body shop told me. (PS: mine is 08's IS tho)
And some CL members here said they need to drill some simple holes to make it fit

you mean the BUMPER? you mean just tuck the wheel plastic liner inside the bumper and drill the new holes to clip on the bumper? what about the bottom of the new bumper? do they line up perfect?
