STORMIS Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hi, so im not sure if this conversion has been done in Australia, i would like to do this conversion.. but i have a limited budget of around $1,500, Estimated costs are: $450- starting bid for a used bumper (shipped)- http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lexus-IS250-IS350-F-Sport-Front-Bumper-/331231885149?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1ef5775d $50 -100 for repair (fill small hole on the bottom of the bumper) $100-250 (For Grille+Emblem - used) $300-500 painted, Total of around $1200-1500+ (using a used bumper), not sure how much it will cost to blend the bumper tops.. kind of an expensive mod in the end,but worth it imo, Here are some recent pics of a conversion performed in Japan: (the outcome is awesome!, especially with the new LED Foglights) there are also plenty of threads on the clublexus USA thread, http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation-163/ Here are Some pics of conversions in the USA:, GS F bumper: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/673734-mating-a-gs-f-bumper-to-our-2iss-a-step-by-step-thread.html Anyone know how much it will cost to blend the top parts of the bumpers?.. or can it be a D.I.Y Project ? Anyone wanna be a guinea pig ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duj Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Il be doing this mod shortly to my Black IS250, The white Jap IS looks badly done, look at the gaps near the lights/bonnet The American done cars look great, It may be cheaper to buy a bumper from Lexus Australia aswell, Not for all the parts though...

GALPS Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Does anybody know if this conversation has been done in Australia yet? I think this together with a transmission console upgrade would help the 2IS look a lot more modern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezzy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hey guys, i live in melbourne Australia, i bought a bodykit, including this front bumper. On alibaba ( do not recommend btw) Cost roughly 1600, now i need to buy a badge, get it spray painted and installed, and get those small holes covered. Looking at 4k in total which is way over my budget. Getting it done next week. Ill post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
