Wow the bumper loosks really looks good 👍....just wondering I notice that some sellers on Ali Baba they have the same exact bumper for about 250 to 350 USD, However this company Car-Act selling it for 699 USD which is strange.
Do you guys think their is difference in the materials that used in the bumper or what?
I have a black lexus is model 2011 should i change front and lower grill to the F-sport version or you advise me to get new 2021 bumper ?
Thanks. They are a universal LED strip light that I had to make brackets to fit from the back. They are white when off, not yellow like some of the aftermarket ones. You can basically make anything work as the slit the light comes out of is so narrow, just have to get creative with a way of mounting them.
Just finished my bumper project. Got it back from paint and slapped it on. Will wait a few months to wetsand and buff to get some of the orange peel out.

Your work looks great and I have follow your channel and do the mods since I got my 2is this year it is very helpful! I just bought this bumper from Alibaba and I wonder did you add the foglight with this bumper or just have it capped? (I personally dont mind have it capped as I dont use it at all but afraid it will trigger the engine light if I left the circuit open)
Man, i think you have the most completed look for this bumper conversion!! I just ordered mine from Alibaba, does all your grille come with gloss black or you have to paint it that color (as I heard some other say the side grilles are not come in gloss black...)? I will have mine soon with the new hcmotion headlight and wanna plan ahead with my painter....

Thanks! My spindle grille came gloss black but not the side bezels. Had to have them painted at the same time. I find that the ones that do come gloss black have some weird horizontal cut-out in the bezel, almost like it's for a fog light, but nothing exists to go there. So you end up seeing the color of the bumper through the slot, which looks terrible on anything other than a black car. Typically the ones that have that also have the cut-out for a front camera above the emblem and some unnecessary extra swage lines near the headlight. If yours will need to be painted then make sure you pop the matte black backing off the bezels first otherwise the painter will paint the whole thing gloss black and it won't have any contrast. You can break off the plastic welds with your hands quite easily, then melt it back on afterwards or use a hot glue gun.
I ended up ordering one about 3 months ago, I was in the process of wrapping my ISC in Satin Pearl White Vinyl and figured this would save me a trip to the paint shop. I really prefer the 4IS over the 3IS look. My main issue with this bumper was the bumper to hood alignment, which just seemed a little off to me. To work around that, I simply wrapped the top of the bumper with black glossy vinyl. This way, it's the hood cutoff you're looking at, not the bumper to hood alignment.
I also opted to vinyl wrap it so when I sell the car in 2-3 years, I could sell the bumper separately (pretty much it'll be "new"). I give credit to CARACT, they were easy to work with and very communicative. They also took care of me on a few items, since my car comes with both Parking Sensors and DRCC. The general alignment is pretty spot on and it's hard to tell this is aftermarket. Amazingly, on my 2014, I didn't have to trim anything. I did add some mounting points for the front fender liner to the bumper, but that was it. It was pretty much bolt on.
I also opted for this version since I prefer the glossy look for all 3 grills, I don't have (and hate) headlight washers and I might find a use for that extra front camera space
DRCC location, just fit perfectly behind the Emblem.
I just wrapped the front parking sensors with high gloss black vinyl and put them in the grill. I have to say, they are slightly more functional on the edges (stock location), but for now I'll see how this works for me.
Here's the part I wrapped in vinyl, otherwise it's supposed to be the same color as the bumper.
Did the radar cruise control sensor works with the bumper and the emblem that come with it??? Or you had to do some adjustment?
Please confirm?
Yeah where to get the emblem? I’m looking at this kit from eBay for like $920–$1000, and it looks legit…. Just not sure if it comes with the emblem or if we gotta source it ourselves, where is the best place to get one from n which one?
Really love the look of this car, I don't think there's a better looking 2IS out there. It looks so aggressive and sporty, but with the high class of a Lexus.
Finally managed to finish my conversion bumper and some photos below. Will take better photos at some point once the car is washed. I modified the 2IS OEM parking sensors and drilled holes on the corner to create a flush parking sensor installation too.
