Default F-sport to base grille switch?
I'm flirting with the idea of switching the grille on my 2014 GS350 Base to the FS mesh grille.
It should fit right?
Any advising I shouldnt?
How easy is the install?

Thanks!

Fits like a charm... lower grill requires a few tabs worked with to fit easily. Great mod. Enjoy!

OEM fog on F Sport grill looks horrible to me... I prefer none or small LEDs

I guess its personal preference. I like the look of the F sport grill with the fog lights. Anyone know where to purchase besides the dealer. thanks

Its an executive package GS. That's just F sport grilles dropped into it. Not an F sport. You can get grilles at your local dealer.

I'm 99.9% sure that's aftermarket cause the part number is not OEM part number.

OEM part number for Upper grille: 5311130E00

Lower grille: 5311230380

The new upper grille arrived. So, I managed to take the chrome trim and grille off the car, but I have no idea how to separate the trim from the grille piece itself. HOW?????

Any update on your install? How much is the grill? I like that subtle mod.
