Seems like a silly question dude....IS250/350 have 2.5 and 3.5 liter engines respectively. IS F is a 5.0L...how can you use the same plastic when it's a completely different engine and layout?
Everything under the hood is unique to the IS-F. Sorry.

I just broke my passenger side engine cover last night at the narrow point. $80 from Sewell to replace.
I did the same thing a while ago while trimming it for the strut bar. Its very weak in that spot when it's off the car. I was able to do a pretty clean repair for now. I've been working on getting some CF replacements made rather then replacing the plastic OEM piece although it may not be worth while. The cost is pretty high unless you have a bulk order for those covers. They have to be pretty much dead on or the plastic push pins won't hold it for a nice fit.
What Id really like is a Carbon Fiber engine cover and call it a day.
How often do you open your engine? Do you park with your hood open when you go out and about? Carbon fiber engine cover parts are extremely expensive mods that no one ever sees. I only open my hood probably every other week when i'm getting gas just to check the fluids.
Surely there are other things you can burn your money on
