I had an ings front lip on my 06. I wanted somthing more compleye than the lip, and didnt care much for the big fog lights. I liked the round ones better. I went back and forth between the isf bumper and the f-sport. Ultimately I went with the f-sport.

It's aggressive and clean. Updates the front of the car nicely.

I did the new '12 bumper/F Sport Lips and F-Sport grill. I love the refreshed look I'm just working on getting the new LED headlights at a reasonable price :-)

So a non F-sport upgraded w/ most Fsport parts or comparable w/badges VS an Fsport sold with no F sport parts w/ a badge, I would say the latter is more faking the Jamaican. IMO, Do what you want.

Agreed. If you have all f-sport parts badge it up.

What if you only have sway bars and intake? Do you think you need brakes or something before you can rock fsport badges? How about f-spot seats? Lol

It really depends on you. Realize this, if you're all about the low and you plan on going 20s (maybe 19s also), you won't get that low unless you do a lot of fender work to make fitment work/do aggressive fitment. I have the 2011 F Sport model and that was what bugged me most. Whenever I was next to Josh Vee, Josh Lacs, Henry Lin, Tim Chen, Sophia, Mariano and them, my car was so high compared to them (especially from the sideskirts). Made me feel like my car was at stock height. They all have kits while the F Sport doesn't really add any length. But if you like the look because it's clean and don't care about the low life, go for it!! I loved the F Sport. Since my car got hit, I'm using the chance to try something else.

Add: it was really hard me to let go of my F Sport front even though I had my cons with it as stated above. But of course, I still have all the lips and GFX sides because I know I will go back to it.

Well MOST F-sports not necessarily the brakes, but more common upgrades likes suspension F-Sports/Coils, sways. intake, etc,, I see no reason not to badge it up, but Has to have 2011+ bumper at least, seats.. meh.. liked cooled

Do it, you'll love it. At first I also like the IS-F front but then I wanted to stay with the IS350 so I went with the 12 front upgrade instead. I am glad I did, never look back. This is the before (notice the Wald lip) and after, it's quite a difference,
