Thanks!
We installed my friends 3IS conversion yesterday on his Glacier Frost Mica '06 IS350. With the install of my one last weekend still fresh in my mind everything was a breeze. Did the typical cutting of the aluminium beam and shaving of the ducts and she fit straight on.
Here's some pics of both cars that we took after the install:

@DownUnder Halos look good. Which ebay vendor did you end up selecting. It looks like you didnt go with the newer mold bumper that Sinister mentioned. Also, did you get the side skirt lips also from the same vendor in carbon flash?

Hi my friend. Your car is beautifully put together!!
I have to ask, is that front lip come with the bumper conversion purchase? Did you wrap it with carbon fiber or did you bring it in to get it dipped?
Mines running without a lip right now, and I tried a couple of ebay ones for the 3IS but the fitment just was not great.

Thanks! The front lip came with the bumper conversion but I paid a bit extra for it to be hydrodipped with a carbon pattern from the seller in China. Sadly it only lasted a week before a rock took a hunk out of the middle of it. I managed to make it look better but decided to go for a smaller lip in the end as it always used to scrape on speed bumps and driveways etc and I didn't really like the way it curved up on the sides. I bought a 3-piece hydrodipped front lip designed for a 3IS and shaved down the humps so that it could sit further back into the bumper. You can use it without shaving it down but it will poke out quite far. Here's some pics:

3is Conversion Bumper- top radiator cover
Loving these 3is conversions! I've been reading everyone's posts on their projects and wanted to know if the top, plastic radiator cover still fits correctly once complete? I saw a couple in process pictures and it looked like there may be a gap between the front of the cover where it meets the grill (as viewed with the hood open)
I'm still trying to decide between the original mold vs. the newer one (Thank-you to, Sinister for your info so far...) Are there hood to grill fitment issues with the newer mold? Which version should I go with? Thanks!

I also have a convertible and I'm in pembroke pines. I'm still in the process of wrapping mine.
