2016+ F-Sport Grille Part # 5310130890 w/parking sensors. You can also find the grilles cheaper (but used) on eBay.

ok cool, I saw someone saying that you have to use a 2016.5 grille. Wasn’t sure if the .5 meant a part change.

thanks! I heard that our sensors don’t work in the newer models. But I’m sure there is way to make them fit

Got my order placed through Aimgain website. It is an expensive conversion for sure, not to mention it'll take 90-120 days to get to the body shop i'll be sending it to (shipping apparently costs less if it's sent to a business instead of home). This kit includes:
- Aimgain Pure VIP Front Bumper with lip spoiler (non-carbon) and original foglight compatible insert kit
- 10GS Late F-Sport OEM Grill with number bracket and hood lock support attached
- No pre-crash sensor (since mine did not have one)

I also ordered the Aimgain Pure VIP Diffuser Type 2 (for quad exhaust). Looks similar to Lexon but much cheaper (but will take 90-120 days....)

I got quoted at $2700 landed for the same setup and lead-time. What about you?

@BUZY3215 @eddie420 : Just curious: What material is the rear diffuser? Does it come painted?

I had gotten yet another quote. I wish vendors would just advertise their prices instead of doing one off quotes. I never understood that strategy. I would think that they would have higher sales numbers (and profits) if their prices were more transparent.

You have to realize that shipping alone can range anywhere between $200 and $600 depending on where you are located. Most of these items are shipped directly from Japan to the vendor, and then shipped from the vendor to your doorstep.

I got mine from http://www.mastermindna.com/. It's usually cheaper to get it through a distributor than the company directly.

I ordered mine through Mastermindna as well and shipping was $200. Just want to make sure I got a fair deal.

I believe it's fiber glass and not painted.

Damn, you would think they would have shipped the bumper in a crate or at least reinforced the box. Are the bumpers trashed? Is the vendor doing anything to remedy the situation? I feel like with this amount of inadequate protection others will have the same problem.
