Hella critics but where are their cars?.....

Way to be original and do something nobody has done, instead of being a cookie cutter.

Bumper itself is nice but this lip under does not fit at all. Maybe try to make something custom from fiberglass or carbon?

To each his own I suppose. Does not fit at all? If by fitting you're imagining it to go directly onto the bumper that was not my goal. I purposely cut the lip to fit right inside the bumper maintaining the flares of the fog area still retaining the look of the bumper.

If I were to purchase a GS-F Sport front bumper.
A) what parts are needed? Upper lower grilles, Grille surround, foglights...anything else? I.e. new hood?
B) how easy is the fitment of said bumper on an IS body?

can you take a close up picture of where the hood meets the bumper? some people have said NIA has a big gap or bad alignment?
