Hit and Run :(
Parked my car outside my girlfriends appartment and found my baby like this right before I had to go to class 
Apparently Its not letting me upload from my iphone but basically the front bumper Is ripped in half along with the front lip. The left fog light is also ripped out. So now I need a new front bumper and front lip, I was toying with the idea of just upgrading to a IS-F front bumper or to a newer F-Sport bumper. Which would be easier?
I've searched and seen both done, but with not much explanation of any hood or fender modifications required. Also I have the LX mode grill and do not want to part with it.

Damn bro that sucks, I had the same **** happen to me while i was at a Buffalo Wild Wings, some jerk hit me with what looked like a large truck leaving the back of my trunk and tails all shattered in the parking lot.
Get with your insurance and see how much it'll cost to replace everything. Whichever front end you decide to go with, goodluck.

I know, I honestly wouldn't be that mad if they left a note, **** happens. But I hate the fact they are going to get away with it. The car also side swiped the two cars in front of me so a total of 3 cars were damaged, mine just happened to take the brunt of the hit. I'm just happy I had the foresight to keep my stock rims on while at school.

yea I would lean towards 2011 f-sport rather than Is-f. My dad owns a body shop and my brother will be writing the estimate so I could easily upgrade with minimal cost. But then I would need to replace both fog lights as well as getting another HID kit. Really just an annoying situation.
btw ohiois350, would you happen to be in Cincinnati? I keep seeing a very nicely modded IS around with blue headlights, fog lights, and the LED strip was blue.

No I am in Columbus, I though you live in Westerville? yeah I got my 2011 f-sport front conversion, I changed to Phyllis D4s 5K and H11 4300K fog, and the LEDS at 100% bright at night time all my light perfect match and bright
, one time I let my wife drove my car and I drive her car to see how the light look, Man it look nice with 100% Leds on, it look like UFO from a distance

Know that feeling. Something similar happened to me very recently. Someone hit my driver's side door in a parking garage. Apparently gonna be about 1500 to fix. :/ I only have to pay my deductible, but still. I shouldn't be paying anything.
Really sad part is it's not even the first time. About five years earlier, someone hit my front bumper in a parking lot, too. Just scraped up the paint, thankfully, but was still $500+ to repair. People really suck sometimes... Although to be fair, it was rainy and windy that day, and I kind of wonder if the person might have left a note, but it got blown away or something.
Anyways, I'm sure everything will turn out alright. I'd go with the F-Sport only if the price difference wasn't very significant.
