Well i think im going to go ahead and buy the fogs tomorrow from the dealership, no where else to get them. The grille i was not too sure about because the dealership wanted 500 bucks for the whole grille but looking at it closely, i believe the only difference between the grilles are the grille "surrounds" not the inside of the grill itself. For the grill surround i think the dealership wanted around 180 bucks or something. So im going to go ahead and pick up the grill surround and fogs tomorrow and do a test fit. Hopefully everything works out.

^^ Why not test fit with out buying fogs...

Fogs can get slapped in once you confirm the bumper cover fits perfectly..

Coming from a member who rolled around in a brand new 2008 with NO fogs, NO Front Grill and NO bottom lip....

** just a suggestion

It's been mentioned, I don't see why he hasn't test fitted it yet. If things go sour PM me. I'll think about taking the bumper off of your hands.

Ok So i did a test fit. Everything lines up perfect. Pretty much a direct bolt on. They only ONE hole that doesnt line up is the Hole that goes from the bumper to the hole on the LH/RH wheel well splash guard. Other then that most of them line up.

Oh yea remember i bought the bumper used on ebay. So its a little beat up looking. Still need to get that painted. Went to order the parts. I am gonna order the grill surround and the lower grill and that little square cover for the tow hook. But the fogs..They want $283.03 For EACH foglight. I dont know if i really want to pay that much for fogs! Anyone know another source i can get fogs from??

im pretty sure the insert is the same. its just the chrome surround that has a little different shape. I went to the dealership today and the insert looked identical from what i could see. I really need to figure out how to get the fogs..or just step up and pay for it. But thats going to hurt like crazy. The wallet i mean. lol

Pretty sure the ISC has its own grill

Compare

The top sides of the grill look thick


Definitely not the 2009-2010 IS250 front grill.


The bottom has a different shape to it.

I'll see how much I can get IS-C fogs for.
