Default Putting non f-sport bumper on '14 IS350?

Is it possible to put the standard front bumper on a 2014 fsport?

not sure if serious.... you do know that the 350 comes in f sport and non f sport right? anyways, you'd just need a new grill since the f sport grill doesn't work with the non f sport bumper

Yes I am serious. I have a '14 IS350 AWD F-Sport and I significantly prefer the regular bumper. If the standard grill/bumper is a bolt-on replacement, I'd like to do that.

Bumper swaps should not be an issue but there may be more work than just slapping it on. Take a look at Sewell's upgrade kit from going to the non-F sport to the F sport. The OP just needs to think of it as in "reverse." Hope this helps!

Did it work anyone? I'm sure you may need to make some cuts somewhere on the bumper or grill as Lexus wouldn't make it so easy for people to just change.
