Default ESPRIT Premiere Japan Front Bumper with 3IS Front Grill

Hey Guys,

We want to get the communities opinion on this brand that are working with called ESPRIT Japan. The concept behind their aero kits is taking a previous generation Lexus and incorporating the next generation into it, specifically by using a brand new OEM Front Grill from the current generation. The idea is to bring the past with the current and find a way to make it all flow together, refreshing the look. Below are photos of their 2IS Full Kit.
  • We were wondering what your opinions on this design are specifically the concept for the front.
  • Is this something that you as the members of the community would be interested in?
    • Or are you more interested in keeping the same look as for 2IS and adding to it with lips?
  • Are full bumper replacements something you guys are interested in?
  • The rest of the kit is very subtle, is that something you guys like or would you want it to be more complex like the front is?
Any feedback you guys can give would be great! Thanks everyone!

Price is still to be determined, but with them being the original designers of the kit and the production coming from Japan the quality and fitment will absolutely be top notch. We'll post up photos when we receive our first shipment in a few weeks.

I seriously love the look! Def looking at full bumper replacements, but I will probably have to wait a while since these front bumper kits can get up there in price

I'd be interested if it was directly plug and play with ZERO modification to the car to install AND if the fog lights were not the LED strip but actual fog lights.

From the other threads I've read, they are close to perfect as far as fit, no mods necessary (must be the quality of japanese made). The led lights are just for look and not considered as real fog lights. One thing that makes me hesitant to go for it is it's made of fiber glass while the chinese replica is in pp.

Excellent!! Awaiting patiently

Also please take measurement on how much longer the bumper is (total height) compared to OEM. I need to make sure it clears my driveway.
