what are they--your front end looks different than mine, but I cannot place why. I know yours is the new bumper style, which is why I am prob lost.

Its a very BIG improvement to me too. I would have done the exact same thing, since I do not like most of the fsport upgrades (alcantara seats, etc.); I would have bought a regular 2011 IS and get the fsport splitters.

Looks good man, Let me ask you this.....since you have to dremel out the slots for the clips do you think that when a full front lip comes available that those slots MIGHT not be covered by the new lip?

I'm pretty sure that IF someone releases a lip it would work around the stock Fsport lipped bumper. This is supposed to be the performance inspired model so the demographic buying this model is more likely to do mods like an aftermarket lip. I think the stock F sport bumpers look really good as is, however I wouldn't mind a tasteful carbon fiber lip add on
