F Sport Grille on Non-F Sport Vehicle?
Without replacing the bumper, would an F Sport grille fit on a non-F Sport vehicle?

Won't fit. Look at the spot where the grills pinch in (the waist of the grill in human anatomy terms). The f-sport grill pinches in higher up on the bumper than the non f-sport. Generally manufacturers take great pains to make sure people don't bastardize bumpers. Why would people spend $8000 on the f-sport option if they could have the same look by buying a $300 grill insert.

F-Sport is $3.6k trim, not $8k option. The Lexus website combines the F-Sport trim with multiple options like Nav which makes it look like a $7.6k option. The website is pretty horrible.
Agree on the bumper though. The pinch is more exaggerated on the non-fsport and higher on the f-sport.

Anyway you slice it you can't have the f-sport option unless you pay $8000 over the base the 350 price. $4300 over the base 250 price.
It doesn't look like an $8k option. It is an $8k option since you can't delete the lesser pkg's from it..

Thanks, Gentlemen.
So the only way to combine the Luxury and F Sport Packages would be to go with a fully loaded Luxury vehicle and replace the whole front bumper and wheels, right?
Wonder if a dealer would do this before delivery and if so, the cost, if they retain the parts coming off.

There are plenty of F-Sports without ML, I'm ordering my second. I have yet to see one without NAV, but like dojoman said you can special order it without.
