That’s the ikon eBay GS-F style bumper, Use to be $700-800 with the grill, but it needs some bodywork to fit good. Now they increase the price to $919.

I had to have good body shop paint, install, and re-do pinstripes on fenders. Also painted chrome trim to gl black around grill. Im very pleased with it.

4GS comes with pinstripes?
I like the bumper, not so much the pinstripes.

Looks great, but I also may be a little biased. Lol

I took on the conversion earlier this year as well.

Nope. Mostly done by 3rd party folks. If in the DFW area, Park Place hires someone to hand paint them.

How is the quality of the bumper?

I agree. It's one of the reasons why I did not want to upgrade from my 2015 to the 2016+. However, everyone has their own preference.

The more rounded bumper and grill reminds me of a Camry:
Eventually we will have cars with no front bumper just a complete mesh grill lol.
