Default IS-F Aftermarket Front Bumper Options?

All,

I have a need to replace the front bumper on my IS-F and was looking at an aftermarket options instead of the OEM. I looked at Wald which is too expensive. Any suggestions with links would be great.

Thanks In Advance

Artisan Spirits has a full bumper replacement, though it won't be cheap either. A number of CL members have purchased the WALD front, and some have even molded it. Aside from those two companies, I'm not sure there are others that have created a front bumper replacement for the IS F.

The Artisan Spirits sold at VIP Auto Salon's store can be purchased with two or four fogs (Type A or B).

Hope this helps!

Might be worthwhile to mention the Wald front is not a bumper replacement but a half bumper cover that goes over the stock bumper.

Default bumper

oem is the way to go as its urethane, not many options aftermarket that are, might be better to get a lip.

I'm getting a new front bumper because someone backed into my car at work, and I found a picture of one that I absolutely LOVE but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Is this just the Wald front molded on to the stock bumper, or is it available as a finished bumper? And is molding the Wald to my stock bumper an easy task that any body shop should be able to do or is it fairly complicated?



Here is the Wald front:
