Default 4IS Bumper Conversion for 3IS finally here

Hi guys,
I just managed to fit on a 2021 IS F SPORT Front Bumper from CAR-ACT onto my 2014 Lexus IS. There are models of course, one for the 2014-2016, and the 2017-2020. I have bought about 4 or so bumpers from CAR-ACT (CT, GS x2, IS), and CAR-ACT eventually asked me if I wanted to help with distributing their bumpers in NZ.
I managed to get the first shipment here to NZ of these bumpers and just got it installed yesterday. Really, really happy with it! The fitment is pretty good but that is after the body shop did a bit of work to really get it to fit nicely.

What had to be done for it to fit?
And do the brake ducts work or is that custom work as well?

Looks like they did a good job!

A bit of cutting with lower brake ducts and a few other bits and bobs. Obviously transferring the DRLs from the old bumper to this one as well.

This is an info pic I created which highlights some of the things:

Would you happen to know if an aftermarket splitter would fit onto this conversion (aka is it 1:1 with an actual Lexus part). If so what would be the year I’d have to get. I’m assuming it would be 2021+
