Default Replacing front grill IS350 -> F Sport

Is it possible to replace the front grill on the IS350 to the F-Sport front grill? Currently my car is the picture attached and I hate the front grill.

Not without changing the entire front bumper. The grills are not the same size and shape.

Are there any good front grill replacements that will fit for my model?

Not really, no. If you do a forum search you'll be able to find some other threads with grill options, but I haven't seen any aftermarket grills that were better than the stock or F Sport grills.

You would need an entire new bumper

You will need a a new bumper, front grill, lower grill and chrome molding.

Also, you will lose your base fog lights and either have to spend like $700 on OEM f sport fogs or the ebay ones ($180).
