You can buy the converted ones on Ebay but pay attention to what you're getting, some come with grilles and fogs and some don't. Most of the websites that carry the aftermarket that fits the regular IS's are typically $500. The ones you see are cheaper might have you buy the grills and fogs seperately. As for the OEM IS-F bumpers, you have to custom fit it and shave most of the bumper to make it fit. If anything, google or search around clublexus, many have done the conversion.

Now if you're talking about the F-sport bumper, they will fit but will need to be tampered for perfection. Good luck on the search!

Keep in mind, if you get the ebay version you wont be able to put a legit ISF aftermarket lip on it. The ISF is a few MM wider than our ISx50.

So in this picture I can't tell what front does he have? Which sport grill and which bumper and what lip.

From the pic looks like the oem 06-08 bumper with the W-Style lip kit. The grill is the f-sport that you can buy off ebay.

Nice! I love this look. I thought it was the f sport bumper that's why I asked my original question. Btw this might sound like a stupid question but which sport grill does he have on because I looked around and there was different ones. If you know, can you send me a link to it please. And any pictures of your car? I would like to see.

Grill - http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-BLK-F-SP...lUwx-a&vxp=mtr

lip kit - http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-2008-Le...VWmew-&vxp=mtr

read around on the fitment first, if anything take it to a body shop to fit/mold them for 100% fitment
