Exciting times ahead! With the side bezels, you can remove the back half off by using a razorblade to cut the head off the plastic weld, then use a pry tool to pop them apart. That's what I did to separate them and paint the inside section matte black. Then I lined them up in the same spot and used a blob of hot glue to secure them. Same with the back panel section for the center grille. I had to take mine apart to drill holes and fit the OEM license plate mount. I didn't use that ugly license plate mount that it comes with, but I did shave off the extended nubs that come through from the back. Mine never came with the vertical stiffener pieces, so it must be something new they are using to keep the mold in shape during transit. Ours had those two long locating fingers on each side of the center grille. It's worth mentioning that on 2008 models you don't need to shave the brake ducts or the center air guide like you need to do on the 2006-2007 models, as Lexus changed the design. To get the proper center gap between the hood and the bumper you will need to unbolt the vertical brace and elongate the holes upwards, so that the brace can slide further down. That will allow the center 10mm bolt to get pulled down, creating the much needed gap in the middle. Looking forward to seeing your progress! Done two of these now so am only a message away if you have any questions 🤙
Thank you Binh! you're a life saver! just got this kit and obviously it didn't come with any instructions, but the screws were confusing to understand till I saw this! Thank YOU! Keep doing what you're doing! and IS fam for life!
I’ve not see you post any videos lately, this is my favorite bumper conversation on the 2is so far, i total loss my 07” IS350 last summer, otherwise i will get this bumper for my is
@@TunerwithKids 😂😂😂😂 Off Topic, I have a 2018 Lexus LS 500 None F-sport and Im looking to change the Grille and the two lower left and right fog light area Grilles to the F-sport grills, do you think they will fit in the existing bumper? the bumpers look pretty exact so Im hoping the Grilles can fit, I kinda jumped the gun and ordered the F-sport Grille off eBay so I might be SOL if it doesn't fit lol
I had little choice as far as the front tag usage goes. The grill looks incomplete due to the holes which are exposed wo installing the tag bracket. Eh, I ordered a Japanese style tag and made the best if it.
Just forwarded your channel link to Lexus IS build on Facebook. I also live in Central Florida so I will definitely support your channel. Currently have a 2014 Lexus IS350 Base. Maybe give me suggestions or ideas on how to improve looks and performance.
how is the oil catch can doing? still installed on the is250? was think about doing the oil catch can but, I just redline my is once a week. now kind of think of doing the catch can. Any input Binh?
I still have it. Haven’t opened it to see what’s been collected. I’ve probably only put 5K miles on it since. I don’t drive much since work from home and I daily the Sportcross to the airport for work trips which I live pretty close to.
They are intended for 250 and 350. The F is a bit wider but with some custom work and maybe removing or trimming the side fender bracket, I heard it might work.
Gone but check the links in description. These are on eBay now for $1,200 shipped. If you’re in LA, may be able to get it cheaper with local pickup from JC.
@@TunerwithKids what does jc mean I live in LA just got my 2014 Lexus IS 250 first car and I’m trying to change the bumper your videos have helped a lot.

Great info Scott.
@@TunerwithKids any more for sale?

thanks great illustration. I needed that diagram I was stumped with mine for a minute 👍🏻
This is awesome. Thanks for making a video on your journey and showing us how it looks when it arrives. Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Yea. My car content has been slacking lately with the new house and really busy work traveling.
Awesome! Love these new 4IS bumper conversions. Just wish they were available for the ISF as well. Excited to seeing the finished product
Thanks. Mine comes in, in just a week or so. I hope you get your next video out soon so I can wrap mine and get it on quick with all your advice.
Should be bolt on. Another guy who bought one for his ISC, installed and test fitted with no modifications needed. It was a perfect fit.
@@TunerwithKids cool. One bad thing is I already modified my underlines to to the 3is conversion. 🤮
...and my brake ducts
That just makes it easier. If you really wanted it to be like ‘21, you’d need the ram ducts from ‘21 on the grills and match them to the older ducts.
Can’t wait to see it!
Great overview Binh! keep it up!
You being all out of Breath in this video is totally throwing off my breathing pattern! 😳
Jump cuts in editing 😀😀😂

Looks the same. Some of the newer Lexus changed it like that to make it easy for parts.
I had little choice as far as the front tag usage goes. The grill looks incomplete due to the holes which are exposed wo installing the tag bracket. Eh, I ordered a Japanese style tag and made the best if it.
Not really they nubs for the tag holder gone. I cut those off. Other than that, really no other signs of a front tag, like the designers intended.
Nice! Wish they would make this for a 3gs. Along with a 2IS headlight conversion.
I would like place order to buy plz
Do u have any more bumper???
Do you know if a factory 2021 grille would fit this bumper?
Yes but need to trim the back side tabs and ducts. But for the cost of new OEM grill you can order a new bumper.
Can you share the progress? I faced the issue that have to take off the headlight bracket in order to install it
I’ll have an install video later.
Nice that look sick bro...
Do u still have any available??
I need help with my drl
That’s a great conversion
Could you post the link where buy this front bumper, because I see a lot of people selling this but in fiber, plastic should be better
Car-act
Definitely worth it 🥰
Great content 👍
Have you sold all the bumpers you purchased? Also have you decided on a price for your old bumper? I’m in Orlando area
Gone after 3rd day.
@@TunerwithKids wow!
Just forwarded your channel link to Lexus IS build on Facebook. I also live in Central Florida so I will definitely support your channel. Currently have a 2014 Lexus IS350 Base. Maybe give me suggestions or ideas on how to improve looks and performance.
It's a shame they don't do this for the IS-F :(
Since the Lexus Emblems were a Copyright issue where did you order them from?
They shipped separately
how is the oil catch can doing? still installed on the is250? was think about doing the oil catch can but, I just redline my is once a week. now kind of think of doing the catch can. Any input Binh?
I still have it. Haven’t opened it to see what’s been collected. I’ve probably only put 5K miles on it since. I don’t drive much since work from home and I daily the Sportcross to the airport for work trips which I live pretty close to.
I have an 08 Lexus ISF, will this fit?
No F is wider.
@@TunerwithKids Do you know of any kits that would fit the ISF?
What lip is currently on your car? I have the same 3is bumper.
It’s the lip that came with the bumper. Some eBay listing included lip and other didn’t.
Can I get a link for your front emblem?
no link, these are 2021 specific emblems. The are different than the older cars.
If I buy a 2019 IS 300 Fsport Front bumper would it fit on my 2015 IS 250 Fsport out the box ? Anyone
Need headlights too.
@@TunerwithKids would the headlights work out the box on my car or do you know if I will need adjustments?
Should be plug and play. But if you HID and get the newer LED, may need to match wires.
Still got bumpers left?
Negative. Been gone since first week.
no fog light deal braker for me
How can I get that bumper
Car-act and wait 3 months.
Check out ebay, some retailers have them now. ebay.to/3nSW8CM
Nice!!!!! 👍🏽
Where can I purchase one of these bumpers
Car-act has them, you gotta order from china and wait up to 3 months for cargo delivery.
There are now eBay sellers with them. ebay.to/3nSW8CM
Are you selling ur old one?😄
And these are strictly for the 250-350 not F?
They are intended for 250 and 350. The F is a bit wider but with some custom work and maybe removing or trimming the side fender bracket, I heard it might work.
U think it’s worth the money to change it
Yes. My old bumper is still worth money. This was was like $1,100. So no much more to upgrade.
Im on LA
I want 1 how much for it
Gone but check the links in description. These are on eBay now for $1,200 shipped. If you’re in LA, may be able to get it cheaper with local pickup from JC.
