Are you looking for the one like mine?






If yes, do yourself a favor & a lot of headache....
DO NOT GET IT FROM EBAY or wherever else.
Because they do not fit right and they are cheaply built and need a lot of custom work to make it look good.

You should get it from this one place only, I think it's called AIT or something, crap, i forget..


I first spent like $300+ on the cheap ebay one, then I got the good one (green), and sold the crappy on craigslist for a loss.
I mean, the crappy one would still work fine on any is300, it's just not up to my standards.. i dunno, maybe i'm just picky...

If you're specifically looking for the TRD NEO, VIS racing makes a replica of that. AIT makes the replica L-Tuned bumper. The main difference between the 2 is that the NEO has the plate cut out and no sidemarkers. Those are the obvious difference.

llllllllll isn't lying, the ebay ones are crap. I got 2 different waldo front bumpers off ebay and both were crap! I never even got to test fitting because I could see they where crap and cracked.

iISawesome is right on the best kits from AIT and VIS

you will need the jdm crash bar to make it work or delete the crash bar all together. They are pretty hard to find especially with the fogs. The AIT ltuned copy front bumper will work fine.

the altezza grill had to be modified to fit the bumper.....we cut out the grill out... I added the bigger intercooler and painted the front black.
