Question Front Bumper removal?

Just curious to know if any of the IS-f owners here have removed your their front bumpers yet? I assume it is going to involve the same steps as the regular ISx50's, just wondering if they're were any hick-ups, or anything different along the way. Give me a heads up, I want to install my HID fog kit ASAP!

Thanks fellas...

No halo's as of yet. If you wanna stop by and be the third guy in the middle re-alligning the bumper...All welcomed!!

Main thing to get it aligned is making sure the panels underneath line up with the bottom of the bumper. And BTW change your sig! ahahah

Okay so it looks like this weekend I am going to drop the bumper and install the fog kit. Since nobody has maybe I'll document and write up a little DIY for the F guys who decide to do this in the future.

Again if anyone here has had any previous experience on the F's, let me know!

Were you able to install the fog light kit? Was removing the front bumper difficult?

Same process as taking it off on the ISx50. I just 3m my fogs and my grill over the pass weekend. Good luck

Yeah pretty much.

When your mounting the ballasts of your kit, best place is on the metal front bumper support thing. Get a couple zip ties and 3m tape.

Why bother taking the bumper off - it's easy to do the fogs just by removing the fender liners. I've worked on my fogs / LED's many times and have yet to touch my bumper.
