It is not a direct bolt on. If you look at the sides where the bumper meets the fenders, the ISF bumper is wider. The OP did some sort of heat shrinking and modding to make the sides blend with stock fenders.

Car looks great. Certainly a mod I will look to duplicate.

Ignore the haters. I had the M-Sport bumper on both of my bimmers and loved the factory look. I was not trying to create an M3, but I was trying to duplicate the aggressive look. Why would you not use OEM parts if they fit? That makes zero sense. Look at JavyLSU's car...He has the gauges and interior bits because he likes them, they look aggressive, and fit perfectly. Not because he was trying to create an IS-F from a IS350.

Further, despite the popular thought on this thread there are many people that buy the IS350 who could have bought an IS-F. I being one. The IS-F is a great car, no question, but the HWY fuel economy is not as good as the IS350 and I don't want every person at the stoplights trying to race me for bragging rights.

I am sure the OP has no intention of throwing any badges on his car.
