Talking Newer front bumper on 11 F??

I got clipped on the highway. Other driver was at fault. Took out my drivers fender/bumper. Was thinking I would love to update the front bumper to a newer style. Anyone know what bumper is going to be the best fit and last? looking for a f-sport style but dont want a cut and glue job as im sure they wont last and the shop wont warranty the work. thanks in advance guys

For the ISF, your only option I believe is to fabricate your own due to the front being wider than the 250/350. If you look closely at the picture you posted it isn't an F, its an F-sport with ISF replica side skirts made by some people on facebook. Member @kianISF just posted this but I believe it was custom made by the previous owner.

Might still be awhile, but working with a few different people to try to put a bumper together for the ISF. If there are enough people interested, the project can hopefully be quicker with a show of demand. Here is the idea i had in mind. GSF to ISF.

as much as i like the rcf i dont think the lines of the front bumper go well with the isf, plus you also get rid of the fog lights with that bumper just my .02

leave these trashy bumpers for the F sport guys. My vote would be Aimgain. Similar look to what you want without having some frankenstein bumper that doesn't flow with the body.

Only drawback to Aimgain bumpers is that they are made out of fiberglass. To each their own but i prefer bumpers made out of polypropylene (oem material).

In general, the 3IS conversions don't flow too well at all with the ISF, but it's all personal preference. The RC bumper flows much better.
