Default CT200h with F Sport Grille - pic inside!

my ct200h with the f sport factory grille pieces installed on the front bumper. upper and lower zig-zag pattern grilles and body color matched grille molding (replaces the chrome piece). factory fit and finish is best!

hey i answered you in the other forum, but the install process requires bumper removal. everything is bolt-on after that, then re-install the bumper--no modifications needed.

anyone think the picture is too big? lemme know and i'll resize it if it bothers anyone.

Thanks Kaido, I just realized this morning that Sewell has a separate section for all parts available, and I was able to find it. It will cost about $200 total for both shipped.

Still hesitant, it's not my first time taking a Lexus bumper off but I'm turned off with the time and labor involved. UGH. I used to love working on my cars! What happened to me? lOL.

It should take 45 min to an hour to install. The majority of the labor is taking the bumper off. I'm ordering mine soon. Modding the heck outta my car, tastefully and as practically as possible since this is my daily driver. Hoping to work with VIP Auto Salon soon!

i should've had you install it for me if it takes you an hour! it took me over 2 hours to finish everything up.

thanks! i think it really changes the look of the car and helps to differentiate it from every other ct200h.

@cenix my lower and upper F-Sport grill arrived today, is your upper grill also painted grey and the lower unpainted black?

kaido, yes, the factory pieces are exactly as you described, so you shouldn't worry about it. top is a shiny-ish grey color harder abs plastic while the lower piece is like a matte black softer abs plastic.

HIGHLY doubt it took him 45 min to do it, I don't think he's done it himself yet.

hehe, you know that's all the rage with the subie guys, too, but i think the horn is loud enough for me and i don't really want any colored distractions coming from behind the grille.
