OP, huge props for the efforts on this post.

You were proactive on giving your ride some ProActiv, looks great.

Hello Everyone

I am trying to find the air ducts you mention for the breaks the one behind the bumper. Do you know the part number you used?

Hi guys i recently got into an accident and i wanted to do the conversion. I have a 2015 lexus is250 base model and i wanted to convert the bumper to a f sport bumper. They are longer making the conversion kits so i have to get it piece by piece. Other than the bumper, upper/lower grille, chrome molding, right and left air ducts, what else do i need?

Quick question... I have a 2016 IS200 base model (non F sport), I got into a wreck a couple of months ago and I have to replace front bumper and grille. Now, I have to base model bumper and F sport grille, well come to find out the grille does not fit. But the website stated the grille will fit on my base model car. So my main question is... will a F sport grille fit on a base model bumper??

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately the short answer to your question is no.
The F Sport grill and surround for 2014-16 will only fit the F Sport bumper.
The non F Sport (base) grill and surround for 2014-16 will only fit the non F Sport (base) bumper.

In additional to the bumper, grill, and surround, if you wanted to convert your base model to an F Sport front end, there are ducts and fender liner pieces that will also be needed...basically the stuff behind the bumper.

Are these bumpers still being sold? I haven’t found one and been looking for a few weeks now.
