I remember someone said it needs the IS-F front bumper, grill and fenders to make it fit.

It will probably look weird since its made for the beffier ISF. unles you have something like the INGS kit (and what rashoodz said t make it fit)

The hood is a "necessary evil" (and my opinion very ugly) modification created to fit over the IS-F's V-8 engine, why on earth would you want to put that on anything other than an IS-F.

Poseur, perhaps?

I personally think the ISF hood is the ugliest part of the car, made it look like a sperm whale

ditto

the front, side profile of an is-f doesn't look right to me ... i like the isx50 front side profiles more.

Nope it wont fit, you have to do the whole front conversion cause its design for the ISF bigger front bumper.

Is there any new information on this?

I plan to do a ISF Wald Black Bison front conversion on my IS250. Yes I know many hate it, but just going to do the front and make it look more aggresive. I already have the F Sport model and I just don't seem to like it as much as the black bison, but ONLY if it could be pulled off on an IS250 of course.

My plan is to do the hood and mold the half bumper onto the oem isf front and I did some research and I know that the oem ISF front bumper needs modification, but that's okay! So many ands! Just need some answers on the hood.

Thanks in advance!

Isn't the front end of the ISF bigger/longer than the ISx50 in order to fit the V8? I don't think it will fit....

I am pretty sure it will fit fine, but I have never tested it. The fenders are wider, but that probably won't affect hood fitment.

The IS F hood opening is the same size as the ISx50 as far as I know.

^Thats my opinion on it. The F bumper fits the ISx50 (although slightly wider), the F fenders fit our car... sooooo the hood SHOULD be a go too. I like the hood, i dont know what people were thinking in 2009 when this thread was new

I thought the ISF fenders were attachable to the 2IS, but they were longer. Therefore the IS-F hood is longer too?


Quick Reply: Will the ISF hood fit the IS250/350?
