Awesome find! This is great for future xD JDM tuners. Obviously the new ist will have JDM bumpers as well as other trick little things. Also a line up of my JDM manufacturers that will back it.

an ist just doesnt strike me as a car "jdm tuners" would want to jump on, especially with a weak 1.8 liter engine, its not the best car to advertise or market parts for.

Notice how I said xD JDM tuners. Also what about the first gen ist and bB? These had tons of aftermarket support by Japanese manufactuers or different parts. I would not be surprised if the new ist gets the same treatment. I would keep an eye out for Fabulous, Garson, and etc for some nice products.

Why didn't Toyota just keep the xA name instead of renaming it the xD,? Weird. I do see the ist JDM bumper as becoming a popular aftermarket item.
Then again why didn't Toyota just bring over the new bB instead of giving us the Camry wagon, oops I mean new xB - just kidding

The ist is cool, but I actually prefer the xd front bumper (with the 5 axis lip kit of course)

Gosh, the bumper for the IST looks better than the xD... And the color selections...

Is there any way to get one in the US? (Just a replacement bumper is all that's required right?)

I was all excited about the xD until I saw the IST... Now I know what I can't have...

think the same thing happened to the ist...launched in japan first...then beef it up on the xA... so the xD got launched in US and the new iSt got beefed up...

i like it but i agree with Archngl. the xD front end looks better with the 5 axis kit, and stock imo.

to much black plastic at the bottom for my taste.
