Very nice! My Fsport is Obsidian, so the bumper is already black, but if it wasn't I would definately make it so. I think the bumper looks so much better in black on all colors, like the new LS and also like the upcoming IS, which is even cooler with the bumper behind the black grille.
I also like the look Carbon-fiber like vinyl covering the chrome trim. Where did you get it and how hard was it to install?

Very nice looks awesome. Did you do the work yourself? I'm doing a F Sport front end conversion and I'm wondering how do you remove the parking sensors and the headlight washer fluid without damaging anything.

Looks awesome!
I'm not clear on one thing, is the center bumper painted black or just a black glossy wrap? I was thinking of doing a wrap and using bondo to cover the license plate holes under. I'm assuming you ordered obsidian black sensors because the wrap interferes when covered?
