I think at this stage of the car models life it's not going to be easy to find many available options with body kits, especially to Europe unfortunately, I did look at the Lexon kit but too expensive with cost + shipping

It looks like there are 4th gen-style front-end conversions for the 3rd gens, but I haven't found anything stateside or photos from customers. Judging by the video from the description, it looks like they used a facelifted 3rd gen, so no love for the pre facelifted '10-'12s :')

It's been said in a couple of other threads that a pre-facelift to facelift conversion is possible, so in theory, this kit should work '10-'15. It just sucks for those with AFS (adaptive front lighting system) since you'll receive an error after swapping out the headlights.
This one looks front-heavy, but nothing a set of running boards or side skirts cant fix imo.

Finally found another half bumper option after originally seeing it in a car listing in New Zeland. Apparently, it's a toms half bumper? It doesn't look too bad imo.

I did that bumper change.
I removed AFS fuse as the headlighs don't have any motors in them.
I think the main issue pre-facelift 3RX owners run into with swaps is getting the facelifted headlights to fit due to the plug being different and the AFS module. Did you/do you have any issues with that? Thanks a lot!

Bumper doesn't come with instructions, so I had to puzle solve a bit.
Some screws were missing and those screws which were included broke plastic pieces holding the grille so I disgarded them.
Upper part that should hold the bumper doesn't quite fit.
Maybe its because I have 2009 model and bumper was made for 2012+ models.
Underside is also open now.

I thought about a bracket, but then sent it to painting, car had been down for too long.
There are two leds inside fog lights, one is supposed to light up curb when you turn the wheel.
But 2009 doesn't have that wiring, I had to trace the wiring to get those light up as well.
I rarely use fog lights, but then I'd like to have all the light it can make.
There is also a dimmed mode, which 2012+ can probably activate.

Chances of a retailer keeping one on shelf are extremely low.
Hopefully some one who owns one can give you the name of the manufacturer you can pursue.
If this was/is popular in your area, keep checking salvage yards in your area for a used one.

nope they don't find it as it's Japan OEM and not on their blueprints

That almost tells us that the part(s) you seek are not going to be found new in North America.
Try Amiyama customer service or check for friends in Middle East [Dubai in particular], Australia and Japan. I mentioned Dubai, as many years ago that was the place where accessories were added on for North America market [sounds counter intuitive but trust me on this]. Shipping cost [I assume the size is going to be substantial] will be a killer.
You must have a strong desire and deep pocket if you want to pursue. Any investment in such aftermarket addition will end up in less desirable for sale vehicle in future.
