Very interesting. They should have made rear bumper have oval exhaust tips.

Quick Q: Is it made out of FRP or is ABS plastic like OEM pieces? J/W

It appears that the rear is plastic, but there is no mention of what material the front bumper is made out of. I'll do my best to find that information for you.

We've never gotten one of these kits, but it appears that the bumper is designed to use the base IS grille.

I'm still working on finding the best source for fogs, but ARIOS sells a wiring kit that they recommend using to link the fogs to the factory lighting system.

this looks really sweet and legit, but wow its expensive... we have to buy the fog lights also, not included with the bumper. add another 300 bucks to that roughly...( ISx50 OEM ones are like 75 bucks on sewell i believe, you can count on them being more expensive for the isf) i doubt they'll sell much. not even BMW stuff costs that much. my friend got a M style front bumper (looks exactly like the m3 bumper, also it is made by BMW, so its OEM, i.e. like f-sport for lexus) for is 328i and the whole thing, painted, installed, w/ fogs and new grill cost him 1250..... i understand its imported but thats rediculously expensive for just the a front bumper.

p.s. please don't flame me for comparing BMW stuff to lexus stuff... :P

To be totally honest, that's part of the appeal. These are true JDM parts in that they were designed for the Japanese market, and ARIOS seems to be doing just fine in that market. They aren't trying to sell any to the US and aren't worried about what the price-point of the items will be in the US.

We have been working with ARIOS to import GT-R parts so we have the unique ability to offer these parts to the community. We specialize in rare stuff like this. These are not parts for the casual enthusiast, but for those who are willing to work hard to make this happen, the end result is something truly special.

I really love the IS-F look and I'd really like to offer these at a lower cost because I really feel like this is a great product for the IS. As it is we're happy to price-match anyone on any of the products we offer and will continue to offer it at the lowest price we can.

...lol +1....but then again, the hardcore enthusiast in you will say-to save up the money for the real thing....the kit looks hot, but is too expensive.
in this economy, everything can be negotiated - even the F (especially pre-owned ones)
