RCF front on ISF

I played a little cat and mouse with a silver one recently and it was very even.
I was the lead car and the front end of it looked great in my rear view mirror. Great looking car. The grill looks amazing. We even exited the same exit and I threw a peace sign. Good run

Predator face hasn't grown on me yet, but the biggest killer of the RCF for me are the god awful headlights. The above is what Lexus should have done. Aesthetically the RCF would have been a knock out if they hadn't separated the headlights.

^^^^Hmm, I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I really do not like the late headlights with the integral LED swoosh. I really like the double turn signals of the originals. The later lights just seem to busy for me. Though I would luv an LED drl in my originals.
And the swoosh, well I have smoked late 2nd gen IS taillights with the swoosh

He's selling the bumper, supposedly it's modified to be plug and play onto existing ISF's. This guy is fairly known on the page for selling replica ISF parts and retrofitting newer gen parts onto the ISFs.

He says more pictures to come. Offering the bumper for $950 shipped.
I found more on the FB page -- again they aren't super high quality:

To each his own, but Im not into making my car look like another car or a newer car. Looks good but it doesnt look like an ISF. Looks like a 2nd gen IS with fake fenders

This sensitivity towards this new style bumper is intriguing. It's weird to me how the approval here of the somewhat analogous swapping the old headlights to new style is at or near 100%. Same for the '14 foglights. Same for the GSF steering wheel. Same for the newer NAV units. Same for the RCF seats. Same for the LFA wheels. Are those mods meant to make the car look like what the part came from? Not even.
But you try and swap in the 3rd gen style front bumper and suddenly it's crazy? It's doesn't seem *that* crazy. Lexus made a design change to the 3rd gen IS, among other models. Some people like the change and it isn't so much as making the IS F look like a RCF/GSF/3rd gen IS....it's merely another way to personalize one's car the same way if you just slapped on a Wald front bumper. The tuner world has been doing this a while.
I feel like the IS F aftermarket options need an increase, if anything. I think we could all agree with that. I respect the opinions. but, to each his own
