Exclamation Need advice on custom front lip/bumper

*new user here!

Last night I was heading home and a drunk driver ran me off the road. My poor IS and I ended up in a ditch, and he took some damage to the front bumper

Anyways, I'm going to replace the front bumper and wondered if anyone could recommend a custom front bumper that's sexier than the stock one but won't break the bank. I saw a few threads about the Blitz CF, which I like, but can't seem to find anywhere to purchase.

Thanks, and pics below of my poor car

Welcome to CL and sorry about what happened. Here is a link to body kits. There aren't many if any full bumper replacements. Most are lip kits. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-bodykits.html

Not many choices for a full bumper replacement. If $$$ is an issue, best bet would be to get an OEM front bumper and a front lip, what year is your IS?

If you have the money, you can do a F-Sport front end conversion or an IS-F conversion. Good luck .

OP, you said custom. I don't know of any custom bumpers except this one below and the one user HKS350 has.

Maybe "custom" wasn't the right word, but at least a neat alternative to OEM. I think I may take Initial G's advice and get an OEM bumper and toss a lip spoiler on it.

As an aside, I put a K&N Cold Air Intake in the car today and love it- faster, more efficient and louder. I was stunned that at high revs the car sounds distinctly Mustang-y. Now I just need a new bumper :/
