I'd recommend test fitting the bumper on the car before getting anything else. That way you're not in too deep $$-wise just to find out it doesn't bolt right up.

I wonder what total cost would be... I know its $1200 to do an ISF bumper swap if you buy the parts at a discount like Sewell or similar...

Good luck! Keep us updated!

You can always call different body shops and see if they can order you the parts? I mean what if you got in a wreck in a New IS-C? I highly doubt they would be calling Lexus to order all the parts needed!?

actually they would because thats the only place they can get the parts...of course the body shop gets like a 20-30% discount off the msrp but thats their profit.

and if you got into wreck insurance is paying you full price for oem parts.
