well since you have like 10g to throw away..a front st205 clip shouldnt cost more then 5k with that you shouldnt run into any problems at all..just need to the wiring harness to get converted over by dr.tweak and your all set..a local tuner shop around there should be able to do the complete swap for you for no less then 5g too just sayin that if u dont get the front clip and doing it yourself or you know there is some pretty good tunners on the forums here that u can take the car too and just have them do it for you. only tin gu have to do is just drive and call them before hand to let them know you want the swap done...but the thing is you have to for sure do your research and look up what u want to throw into the swap like after rods pistons, fuel pump, piggy back systems and all that good fun stuff..if you have the money just do the swap its fun and its one of a kind! but thats just me and what i would do..iwork at lexus so i see the is300 everyday and get to drive them too..not too fun anymore..
