Default 2009 IS250 grill/bumper question

I just picked up a 2009 IS250 from a local dealer. I have been searching around this site a lot for updated grills and bumpers. My first question is am I to assume that the OEM F-Sport grill will fit my 2009 IS250? Second question, it seems like there is a lot of confusion on what bumper fits the 2009. mostly i see kits for 06-08 but nothing really that fits the 2009. I have read that the 2011 bumper fits but I cant seem to find anyone that can confirm this for me. Can someone please help me out with these two questions. Thank you!!

If you buy the F-Sport grill insert from your dealer or from Sewell, it will fit. Just make sure your specify that its for a 09.

06-08, 09-10, and 11+ all have different bumpers and grills. You cant mix and match a 08 grill on a 09 bumper.

Kits from 06-08 and 11+ will not fit your car, only 09-10 kits will fit.

Great thats part of what I was looking for. As for the 2011 bumper fitting the car. Can the 2011 OEM bumper fit the 2009? Or is there a 09-10 bumper kit/grill that matches or look similar to the F-Sport? Thanks for the help!

Yes, the 2011 OEM bumper will fit your 2009. You can buy the F-Sport bumper from Sewell. Make sure you register and enter your CL username to get discounts.

If you don't want to upgrade to the 2011 bumper, the F-Sport grille will also fit your 09 bumper.

I have a 2010 IS250, will a 2011 f-sport grille insert fit? Or what if I buy a knock off mesh grille insert for a 06 - 08 will that fit my IS?
