Ok great. Not really understanding what you mean by the rectangle cutouts for the headlight washing. Also how much did you purchase the bumper for? The one on ebay he wanted for around 900.
900 is about what I paid too. Also had to paint the fog light housings black which I did myself(paint/adhesion promoter/clear coat) and buy led fog lights/conversion kit to make bulbs work for led fogs and headlights. It was all pretty easily accessible when the bumper is off though, also painted headlights at same time so I was all over the place. It’s a job for sure.[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE] You must be talking about these two cutouts. Seems to be quite some work for this bumper conversion. One minor frontal damage is all it takes and you start over again lol. I guess I'll be thinking about doing this project. Do you have the link to those cover and the front logo?

yep those are the cutouts! And yeah one fender bender and you are ****ed. That’s why i still have my old bumper just in case. Thought about selling it but didn’t. I wanna get some skirts too just to further the sportier look, and have it all blend a little more. Also if fitment is squirrelly you have to adjust that too. Here’s logo I used, but it’s a little too big so it doesn’t squeeze all the way down like it should, but it’s like a millimeter bulge we are talking about, no big deal, here’s the link:
and if you have silver or white paint match is a *****, so my color is off, but looks worse in pics but can’t really tell in person. Something to think about though. Good luck and show me progress when done.
Now that it's been a few months, how are you guys liking your conversion bumpers? Do you have a few more pictures that you could post?
I hit a raccoon last night and it tore my bumper up. I plan on keeping my 2010 ES350 for 2 or 3 more years, so trying to decide if I want to spend a little extra for the updated look.
I'm considering the bumper upgrade using the same model you purchased on eBay. I'm putting together a list of everything I will need to make sure I have a full picture of the total costs involved. Can I ask how much you spent to get it painted? I will likely have them install it too but wondered what the approximate cost for the paint job.
