Default 2008 Front Bumper Replacement

My front bumper has been through hell and back. Bumper has been zip tied and most recently it ripped going over a speed bump.

What bumper would you get to replace an 08 bumper?


Thanks

There is a few options. You can get the IS-F conversion from eBay, you can do the 2012 F-Sport conversion, but for me personally I would just replace it with the same exact one since those bumpers have a lot of lip options.

Sounds exactly like my bumper. My tabs completely broke off.

For the 2012 F-sport conversion, is there any other thing required to install it other than the bumper itself?

That's for the unpainted one, the painted one costs $1571.69 and that's before shipping ($150). It's not just the bumper cover, you'll get everything that comes with it, look it up in Sewell, you'll see what I'm talking about.

That's not bad at all with the discount.

I got a quote from my local body shop before and it cost $1k for painted and reconditioned 06-08 bumper.

Painting just a bumper isn't to expensive. I painted it before for $100.
