Something's very interesting with that pic.

First off, is that a real IS-F? Cause if so, then the same problem with the fenders/etc being different between the F, C, and ISx50 may still apply. I know it has Branew fenders, but are they from an IS-F or an ISx50???

Second, it has the new late 2010-up IS-C roof antenna. Look closely....they put it on the front edge of the roof That's not the older IS-C antenna but the brand new ones that have the lexus enform built in. The first IS-C's that came out had a shorter profile antenna.

That's a 2006 ISx50? Unless they went through the trouble of shaving the stock shark fin.

the hood doesn't have the hump, so i don't think its an IS-F, definately an ISx50,

actually since it looks like its from the middle east, or maybe europe, that side of the world anyway, its probably an is-300

For sure not an IS-F..

Those look to be ISx50 fenders by "Branew" as you mentioned..




Then they slapped some F badges on it and an IS-C Front bumper..

Finally topping it off with "Branew" Lip kit (in Carbon) made for the IS-F..



Which clearly doesn't fit on the IS-C front bumper

Sometimes mixing and matching is just overdone...

Default where to buy IS-C front bumper

I've decided to swap to an IS-C front bumper from my 09 IS250 bumper because after searching thru many body kits, its either ones that looks good but doesnt fit the 09 or ones that are too expensive. So since the IS-C front bumper looks really nice IMO, i decided that it would be a nice mod to my car considering its white and i dont know anyone that has done it yet on a white IS. my only question is where can i get my hands on one because i remb one of the members here got one on ebay or something but i havent found one yet. So if anyone knows where i can get one, that would really help. It would be nice if someone can tell me the price from a dealership also. Thanks!!

thanks,
i just got an email back from dealership, they said the grill will cost me $245.00, do you guys think its better to get the CF grill from sewell for 318.40 or get the stock one and paint it black myself?
they also said the bumper will cost me 375 plus paint so is that a good deal?
does anyone know if i need fog lights from them as well or does it come with bumper? thanks!

^^^^I can tell you that a new bumper at my local body shop for my F cost me $335.00. Fog lights are another assembly, both right and left.
