The beauty of Japanese Cars No Rivettes or Over Excessive quarter panels that are impossible to move. Love Lexus.

[@NIABodyKits]

i agree! Lexus is the best!!

Thanks a lot for sharing. Among all videos available in KZbin, this one was the most helpful for changing a broken parking sensor of my IS250. It took me three hours--one dismounting and two assembling back. A caution for those who, like me, wants to put the same bumper back. (1) Do not pull out the parking sensor as shown in this video because you will break the external ring-rivet and render the parking sensor useless. You need to unplug its power socket, release the retainer side-wide and pull out the sensor from outside (2) It is extremely hard to put the bumper back to the original position, particularly for those six 10 mm bolts underneath . I think it is a work for two, one holding the bumper and another checking the alignment. I did it all alone, and was able to align only 5 out of six. Wish good luck to DIY people here

[@NIABodyKits]

my pleasure!

[@Unplugged704]

Wow that was easier than I thought! I have 08 IS350 and thinking of replacing front bumper with the gen 3 versions.

[@NIABodyKits]

This was the NIA Bumper. Not all conversion bumpers have the same fitment.

[@masmargat6907]

Hey yo thanks for this how-to! Watched this everytime I've had to remove the bumper on my IS to make sure i don't forget anything!

[@NIABodyKits]

Glad it helped!

[@AnM8tR]

I could not figure out how those flathead clips came off! Thanks!!

[@NIABodyKits]

my pleasure!

[@jumpinghighest]

Great video! Would love to see one installing the bumper back on the car. Thank you!

[@NIABodyKits]

thank you!

[@notyourbusiness1352]

Just reverse the video

[@jumpinghighest]

I was able to figure it out doing that. Thank you!

[@gplunky]

Thank You

[@alwayscuriousalwayslearnin]

thank you for the video. What a hassle I miss the old days when it would be 6 bolts the bumper comes off, also the bumper actually had a purpose of safety not just looks lol, now days you remove the bumper and possibly break some clips so you might as well buy new clips beforehand

[@NIABodyKits]

Yea, old days where really different, Now days you have to be really careful to actually install and uninstall everything specially in the car community

[@ltdees2362]

Hey thanks, I have a 2011 ES-350 very similar removal to your video...manly just a matter of knowing where the clips are located...and take your time...piece of cake...🍺's on me 😎

[@theunstoppabledriver6978]

Thanks for the vid. LOOKS easier than I thought. Over the years I think at least half or more my clips have been damaged by mechanics and/or service places who installed new headlights/fog lights... Any suggestion on good clips/generic clips and where to order/buy? Thanks!!!

[@NIABodyKits]

my pleasure! and try lookinf for the clips on amazon

[@zectorbroskii7705]

Don’t you have to remove the bumper to change your turn single bulbs on the second gen is 350s? If so this is a helpful vid for that

[@edsumil917]

Hi. Have 2010 Lexus rx350 Similar removal of bumper? Have dent I want to heat and try to pop out. Suggestions on dent?

[@NIABodyKits]

maybe by heating it up, and using something that can suck it

[@bendude6748]

when the bumper goes back on does the undertray bolt to the bottom of the bumper tabs or do the tabs go underneath? Hope that makes sense.. thanks. I just replaced my bumper for a new one and wish I took photos first lol..

[@zectorbroskii7705]

Where did you get the replacement homie

[@crazymn321fan]

Any chance you remember the answer to this? Tore up my bumper on the freeway and finally have a replacement 6 months later lol.... Can't remember if the splash shield clips go above the bumper tabs or bellow...

I wish they (NIA company) would continue to produce the 3is conversion front end kit. It's a bummer that they stop producing it, not sure why.

[@NIABodyKits]

the mold needs to be resurfaced, we may bring it back in the future

[@shem3737]

@@NIABodyKits Thank You for your reply. Hopefully it will be soon. Please notify me when you start the new production.

Do you have a part number for the splash guard for the Lexus IS250? Trying to source it but unsuccessful. Thank you.

[@NIABodyKits]

which splash guard would you be referring to?

[@johnthenative8368]

Wheel well cover maybe?

[@notyourbusiness1352]

My two screws L&R, the one you unscrewed at 0:55 is wayy too tight even my screwdriver tip broke. How do I deal with that? I've put WD-40 on it as well.

[@NIABodyKits]

Try using a socket instead of the Philips.

[@jumpinghighest]

Great!

[@NIABodyKits]

thank you!

[@patrickbacomo7897]

Hi can I fit the 2008 Lexus IS-F sport bumper into the IS250 as a conversion? If so, Where is the most reliable place to find them?

[@NIABodyKits]

hey, unfortunately we discontinued this bumper

[@KSJZ00]

Just like so :) 👍

[@NIABodyKits]

yes sir

[@kenny0ly]

Where can I purchase the legit front bumper part?

[@NIABodyKits]

sorry we discontinued this product

[@memegames6743]

The 2 Phillips head screws on the top seem to be stuck for me

[@NIABodyKits]

try using a drill to get them out, might be stuck due to age

[@slayer1129]

do you know if a 2011-2013 is 250 front bumper can fit a 2009 is 250?

[@NIABodyKits]

i believe it can because the body of the car was the same from 2006-2013

[@harveyandruss8748]

What about swapping fog lights in old bumper to new? Struggling. lmk

[@NIABodyKits]

you can use your factory wiring for fog lights, would all depends on how the new bumper foglights are

[@harveyandruss8748]

@@NIABodyKits the bumper cover I purchased was just the plastic. There are a couple of snaps that hold the fog lights that are a little picky to get to release. Then you just fit them to the new bumper and connect the electrical connector. My issue witb all of this as a DIY layman is that they seem to purposely make it a pain to remove so people wont DIY. It'd be great if cars were designed for repair and maintenance ease.

Yes correct.

[@rubbertoe.]

Took me over an hour to get mine off, what a pain in the ass

[@NIABodyKits]

these bumpers are pretty hard to get off the first time around

[@greenkingrebels788]

Yeh and you have to do all that just to change the indicator bulb. Crap design

[@NIABodyKits]

Changing the headlights to the v-lands is also a great upgrade.
