This one looks better. I think this is probably what juvi got then, cuz in the pics it looks like you can just remove that emblem holder and have a grill that still has the same pattern all the way across.

In my opinion, the ones without removable emblem holder seem to have better quality and they look sturdier.

No, that one is for 06-08.

06-08, 09-10, 11+ all have different grills.

Link below. It doesnt show the emblem in the pic but it does come with it, i just removed it.

After looking at some more close ups, the first one i posted from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Lexus-Is250-is...=5336108637-20
defiantly looks better than the other one with the emblem holder dangling from the grill.
the mesh overlaps/blends with the emblem holder, much like the stock isf grill.


I could probably retrofit some flat black plastic to hide the horizontal lines.

Thumbs up

let me help you out. For 06-08 IS, you have only one choice.

- Ebay F Sport style grille

- They do not come with badges, you'll need to buy one

- They come in black plastic and are not shiny
- You need to spray paint to get the same effect

Checkout my build thread "finished is250" to see how mine turned out.
Looks great.

I have this exact grille on my 08 IS350 easy to install and fit perfect the only problem is the L clips in to the grille and comes off very easily if you don't use adhesive on it mine fell off when I hit a bump so I'm in the process of installing the chrome oem L on the ISF grille
