Default Front Bumper Replacement

Hello everyone. I am looking to replace my damaged F-Sport front bumper. I want to replace it with either a 3IS, 4IS, or IS-F front bumper. I even seen some with LC/RCF front bumper from the overseas sellers. I am leaning towards either the OEM F sport, 4IS front bumper or IS-F front bumper. If anyone has an updated front bumper or aftermarket front bumper on your IS-C, please comment down below with a photo. Thank you!

You'll have better luck asking searching in the general 2IS section as opposed to the IS-C section. Plenty of people have one of those (IMHO hideous) bumpers there. My understanding is that all of the parts at the same.

Hello- I did the 3IS bumper on my 12 350C
I need to replace the grill that came with it though because it has holes for the overseas wide license plates. Also planning to replace the headlights when I replace the grill- See attached.

I decided to stick with the OEM F Sport bumper that my IS-C came with. To me, it looks way better than any conversion other than maybe the 4IS bumper. OEM Bumper is only about less than $300 but all the supporting pieces will cost me a total of a $1,000 :/ ...unpainted.

tanweerr12, would you be interested in writing up a little about your bumper conversion? or a couple of photos? mine just got into a fender bender, so i'm weighing my options now. did you go eventually ''match to paint' the unpainted replacement bumper?

Ordered parts last week., Most of my parts are ready for pick up, just waiting on my bumper to be ready for pick up as well. I am going to "paint match" it at my local body shop. Hopefully they will do a good job.

All the parts I needed cost me a little over a grand. A bumper conversion would have been a lot cheaper if it wasn't for the crazy shipping cost. I am sure eBay had better prices for shipping. Looking back, I wish I would have gotten an ebay "4IS" bumper conversion but they don't have fog lights and that is a deal breaker for me haha.
