Default FSport Grille on Non F Sport bumper

The 3IS FSport bumper is different to the non-fsport bumper. The FSport bumper has the brake air scoops. I have a non fsport bumper. does anyone know if I will be able to get the fsport upper section grille on the non fsport bumper?

The FSport doesn't have an upper section grille. It's a one piece grille.

Will the one piece grille fit on the non-fsport bumper? Looking at the two bumpers, the difference in that area seems mainly the air scoops, but the area and shape of the grille recess seems to be the same. So, if I wasnt too fussed about having the air scoops and the fancy Fsport fog recess area, will the grill fit? The main thing i'm after is really the F-Sport grille

The F Sport grill will not fit on a non-F Sport bumper. The pinch point of the spindle is not the same on the two bumpers.

the f sport grill is two pieces. Both Seawell Lexus parts chart and my local body shop confirmed this after my accident. if u look closely at the grill, youll see a jagged line that seperates both sections.

Having spoken to parts department I can also confirm that the F Sport grille is actually two pieces and in fact the non-fsport grille I am told is a single piece.

Basically no one tried it before, so take a measuring tape and compare both. The target is to measure the dimensions and clips location.

I'm actually curious about this too. I'd like to replace my non-F sport grill with the F-sport model. Like the look.
