What about the F-sport line? The "F" stands for lexus performance. I know its a 250 but if the guy put every suspenion part on his car and it handled better than most others, It should be able to sport the "F" logo's. IMO

Perfectly fine. Lexus made the "F-sport" for the IS 250/350, just look at the ads and flyers. That entire line of products is for 250/350 owners.

The IS-F is a stand alone model, a complete car from the factory.

Lexus went through ALL this trouble making an IS-F and "F-sport" parts for the IS-F and people want to just do sacrilegious things to their Lexus.

It should sport "F sport" logos, not "F".

Nah..definitely won't fit. The IS-F has a wider body so you'd have to switch the fenders out or have the bumper molded into the fenders.

In time, there will be a knockoff front bumper replacement that will bolt up to the regular IS's, they'll make it fit the general population IS250's and IS350's..just watch.

I looked into it too and it doesn't fit. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with modding a car after another car. I see Civics look like BMWs, Mercedes, etc. It looks kind of funny to tell you the truth, but if someone likes it, then it's a good mod to do.

Default Wow!!

wow....... All i asked was for a fitments question and in 1 day i have a 2 page thread bashing me. For all of you who have bashed me let me support myself. i am able to get the front bumper and have it painted for cheaper than any of the kits out there. I also like the way it looks. I would never debage and try and put F labels on the car. This is a $40,000 not a $5,000 civic. I know much better than that. It would be the same thing as me getting a full front bumper as a body kit just i like this bumper better than any that are available at this time.

I was told by Lexus of Orland that no body parts and most sensors are not interchanagble with the 250 or 350. You can tell buy a minor visual that the IS-F body parts are designed to compliment the adjacent paneling with no gaps. I would not waste your time and money.

Don't feel bad about what you like. I'm going to try to install the sideskrt's and front finders sometime in the future. So I'm in the same boat. I'll get flamed by those who know the diff between the IS-F and the 350, but who cares. I'm in love with the vents, so here I come....

putting the IS-F front and rear bumper on your is250 is like rebadging your is250 to is350.

it may look cool to do, but once you get called out and smoked on the streets it won't look so cool...
