Nia one is made out of fiberglass. The one I am getting is OEM made moded. Way better in quality wise. They only charge $100 more for paint. Lead time on it is two weeks. And fitment is good. Since he got a Lexus is250 there to test fitted.

Dorkacho- I have seen some have them on. I have not got my conversion yet. Till I do. I will let you know.
Suprawhite- I have not seen one done yet. But pretty sure someone though of it. Just got to wait for someone to pull the trigger and try it.

check out Premiere by Esprit. Japan company with excellent fitment for a fiberglass bumper. Uses OEM grill & trim.

That looks good. I am looking into doing a conversion for a 07 is250. Ive been through the threads here and the general consensus is to go with a polyethylene based kit instead. Looking to get more opinions on this topic??
