Lexus IS350 & ISF Freaks on facebook might be able to help you out. They had a few members who did a swap, but i think most were fiberglass ��

I've seen tons of pictures of the NIA. Looks like it fits good to me. But 1500 is about the same as the NIA. I guess it depends if the OP prefers the normal 3IS front vs the nia which has a more aggressive bottom. B

I'm assuming that comes unpainted though? But nevertheless, it is a good price for what you are getting. Also, do you know if it is made from fiberglass?
