Can anyone please tell me if the IS-F rear bumper can directly fit without modification to the IS250. I know on one of the threads here there is a discussion of it being done

If your running an OEM or aftermarket exhaust, you will have to do something with your tips...
It won't be an easy direct bumper cover swap...
You will need the IS-F bumper reinforcement crash bar and foam insert...
Also, I have NOT SEEN this done in the USA.. yet...
See this thread for more discussion: Someone did it!! IS-F rear bumper

The person who did it said when he first put the rear bumper on it has a gap![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)

you will need to cut your muffler ...

See the gap between the truck door and the IS-F bumper? Everything else seems ok...

The Question remains whether or not there is a pronounced gap when you install an IS-F bumper on an ISx50.
Again, we have no real confirmation from an actual person that can respond in these threads that was there when it was done.
I will also disclose and say that my photo analysis skills are not the best as some others on here..
