Lower F-Sport radiator grill fitment issues?
I was looking into the F-Sport upper and the lower radiator grill for my ride but was told by Sewell in an email that the lower piece wouldn't fit because they are different sizes between the F-Sport facia and my 2011 AWD facia.
I've seen some with the grill installed and wanted to know if any modification was needed to make the components fit. Anyone install these pieces themselves?
Sewell-"As for the lower F-Sport insert, this only applies to IS models already equipped with the F-Sport bumper. The standard lower insert is a different size than the F-Sport insert."
Thanks,

Alright so I assume I know the answer here, but I'm going to ask anyway. The 2011 lower F-Sport grill most likely doesn't fit in a pre facelift (09 and below) bumper without some modification right? I was looking at it and it doesn't cover the entire gap in the first place on 2011, so I assume with a bit of modding it could fit into my 08 lower grill and look relatively the same. If anyone has more info on the fitment please let me know!!!

I have a 13 is250 and Sewell told me the same thing... It won't fit unless I have the fsport bumper... Is this really true... I can see the problem with swapping it into a 08 but a 13? What could be that different? When I had my fsport lips put on they had to cut a couple holes into the bumper to make the lips fit is this the case with the lower grill?
