Default ISC with a 3IS front?

Hey ISC folks, I’m not in this sub forum often but I stumbled on this ISC on FB marketplace. Here’s a few pics:

I’ve seen plenty of 2IS with a 3IS bumper but never headlights and all that. Agreed , the fenders/ hood line is a little werid.

I would honestly say it's well done.

Ironically, one of the main reasons I didn't get a 3rd gen is BECAUSE of those mismatched headlights (I like how it flows better on the 2IS). It looks like they patched different pieces from different cars to make the headlight assembly:




And the mid-cycle refresh made it look even worse, if they only formed the headlight a little better, rather than this random inner assembly:




Yeah, I can live with the bumper upgrade, but the fender and headlights look out of place.

I like below design better without the body kit.

cjatkinson-
Did you do the initial test fit/install or did a body shop do all of the work?

Thanks. It wasn’t too bad. I followed another post about putting in the bumpers here in the 2is forum.

Yeah sinister2c in the 2is forum did an awesome documentation of the conversion. He provided a lot of insight as well. I'm planning to do the mod sometime in the near future- really updates the exterior of the car!
