Default Can I install a F Sport grill on a non F sport car?

I am buying a used 14 IS350 but is not the cool F Sport. I can not find one near me.... And I know the F Sport has other cool features...

Can I install the Fsport grill? Has anyone else tried it yet?

Can you do this in reverse? Install a non F sport bumper/grill onto a F Sport car?

I love everything about the F Sport, except those flared nostrils on the bottom front corners. I like how the non F sport is flat with fogs. It looks so much nicer imo.

Surely by now someone makes aftermarket F Sport style grills as a drop in replacement for the non F Sport version.

you guys should just trade bumpers, get them painted your color and call it a day.

I do not even own a Lexus at all. I am shopping the IS and RC.

If I get one, it will be white.

I'm actually hoping for a face refresh where Lexus decides to eliminate those flared nostrils. Looks like an aftermarket bodykit to me. The splitter at the bottom should be flat.
