Default Front lip install?

Hey so I've watched you're YouTube. What hardware did you use to install the front lip? You drilled and added some sort of tabs? Double sided tape I'm assuming? I got my bumper on waiting on my lip to get painted.

There gaps near the curves, so need to strategically grill screw holes and put them on backside. I used two screws per side
Happy with it, the lip is pretty thin Plastic so may not withstand any major hits or scraping over time.

No tape. Just the old nut tabs from previous lip with the 10mm screws. The added a few nylon bumper nuts from Amazon with more 10mm screws from old bumper.

Screws (25 pack, $15):

Default Need Your Expertise


Hello all,

Newbie here. I have a 2012 IS250C with a front end damage that I want to convert to 3IS kit from IKON. I called them and they're currently out of stock until another 3 weeks. My questions:
  • What other place or store can I buy this kit because 3 weeks is a long time to wait.
  • Will this kit fit or is there another kit for the C model? After reading some posts, I understand it will be some heating, cutting, adjusting involved and I'm ok with it as long as it will fit ok overall.
Thank you!

Hey mines came with led lights....wires are coming out of each one. My question is should I crimp all of the negatives on the bumper and the positive together? Then cut the oem fog connector, splice it and then run the neg to neg crimped from the bumper wire and pos to pos, etc. is that correct? Please help as I’m trying to finish this job today! Thank you in advance

Best advice I would give is head to you local hardware or electronic store, grab some T-Tap connectors, they're really cheap, no splicing required. Use those and go straight into the fogs (negative-negative etc) on each corresponding side, just make sure the wire aren't too long and hanging. It will be a lot cleaner, and easier to undo. If anything were to go wrong (one side doesn't work), it should be easier to isolate the problem.

***When you clamp them just give them a little spin to make sure they cut all the way through the plastic sleeves and contact the wire the first time.

Hello, aside from the minor stuff you mentioned. Does this directly fit?

I've reached out to someone who did the conversion on there ISF and said that the following seibon lip fit well onto the converted bumper. Has any one tried this out?

Been getting some PMs and questions about the aftermarket OE color grill and emblems.
Here are the ones I used from e-Bay. I like the color much better than the black ones that the bumper comes with that has holes for Japan/Euro license plate.

Aftermarket Hybrid Style Blue Emblem $33 www.ebay.com/itm/AM-Front-EMBLEM-For-Lexus-IS250-IS350
