Default IS to IS-F???

hi, im a new to this forum, but here is my situation.

i have a white 06 is250, my girl was driving it and got into a little accident and the bumper, hood and passanger side fender need to be replaced.

since they have to be replaced i started thinking if the bumper, fenders and hood from the is-f would fit right or at least without much modification on the is250 body?

i would think that maybe there are some crips or screw holes that might not line up right, but you never know.

i tryed finding and searching info on this, but i couldnt find anything at all.

so if anybody has any info please let me know asap.

and yes i know that all this might sound ghetto as hell, but i gotta buy new parts eather way and the is-f parts look so much better.

thanks in advance.

btw if it would fit i would also buy the is-f rear bumper too so that it all matches real nice.


Edited

also i thought about buying the parts and trying them on, but apparantly such big body parts are not returnable.

I wish the IS-F hood fits on an IS, without changing other parts.

The ISF hood makes it look like a whale lol.

I wish they did it like the M3, where it bulge out just for the engine, decorate it with vents, and leave the rest of the the hood the same lines as the original.

I just spoke to my buddy at M1 auto, and he told me it would fit, but theirs alot of conversion, brackets and hardware. Sideskirts and some mods also. If you have any more questions let me know, and I can ask him!
