Did you run into any problems with the install? I've read in various posts that a couple of the holes don't line up so I may have to drill. Also that some of the ducts by the bottom grille aren't flush with the bumper either. Any advice you can give?

Love the F Sport bumper! Very aggressive looking! Great addition to an already clean IS!

I had someone install it for me. i didnt install it myself. But there is a little gap where the fender and bumper meets. I think he said it was because of the bumper support foam. I need to ask other people who had done the conversion if they encountered the same problem.

Look at this thread: "F-Sport 2011 Bumper upgrade from Sewell", you'll know what's going on. At first I was thinking about going the IS-F front bumper way but I'm glad I didn't but instead going with the current set-up, to me, it looks much cleaner and nicer.

The upgrade looks really nice. However, I always had a question lingering around my head a few months back and now. But I remember Sewell sold a F-Sport bumper part that you can attach to your current ISX50 and it will make it look like an F-Sport bumper minus the grille, etc. But it was only going for like $350, of course now it's gone on the website but I always thought that was a better deal than a complete F-Sport bumper? Correct me someone if I'm lost or clueless.

Nice! It matches the headlights now! I personally like the previous look but do your thing.

I believe what you're talking about is the front lip spoilers, $230.54+ shipping from Sewell. They only show them in the exterior of 2011, 12 accessories. If you order the 2011, 12 F-sport front bumper upgrade, they are included.
