Default F Sport Front Bumper

Hi all,

I would like to replace my standard GS 350 front bumoer with the F Sport. Is it a straight fit? Apart from the bumper itself, are there any other parts that need to be purchased for fitting?

Unfortunately, the way my dealer is set up means that I have to order parts first then send them to the bodyshop for painting/installing. They don't offer a "one stop shop". This is why I want to make sure I have all the parts ready!

Thank you

Yes, it fits, and here's the story from another member who did the conversion...

no extra parts are needed to fit , it fits perfect, I did it my self but i bought the parking sensor covers from the dealer and they cam painted so I did not use my old ones, and also I got the tow hook cover and just painted it and swapped the chrome part of the top grill to the Fsport one and everything just pops in.

mrpartsman,
How easy was it? Did you, by chance, take any pictures that you might want to share? Thanks.

Guys

I called my dealer he said that apart from the bumper you also have the grilles, which of course are different from standard.

So my question is: are there any other parts that I need to purchase to have a "complete" front F-Sport bumper?

I assume sensors and headlamp washers fit either bumper. What's different and needs to be purchased separately?

The link BkRed posted has the conversion kits that include everything needed i.e. bumper, grills, fog light bezels, etc. other than that nothing else is needed that I know of.
