I'd try to look for one at a junk yard or possibly an aftermarket one. Brand new OEM will be very costly. You can probably almost trade yours in for a 350 f sport for all the money you've spent this past month lol

I don't know what the allure is of paying 2000$ for new parts on this job? Especially the 2is guys doing a swap and hacking apart the new bumper.
I paid 200$ for an F-sport bumper with the turn signals, grill, and everything still in it. It needs a light refinish and two tabs repaired. A body shop would do all that plus paint it to match for about 500$. So that's 700$ all in for an F-sport bumper swap.

i called a highly-reputed bodyshop and they refused to work on eBay kits or any "cheap" aftermarket parts in general. I definitely saw the eBay replicas but how far off is the fitment? The bodyshop made it seem like it was impossible to make it fit and to make it look good simultaneously.

Has anyone tried to fashion an F-Sport grille using larger F-Sport grilles from say, the RX or the LX? Wouldn't a competent bodyshop be able to cut and mend or does it just not work this way?
