2011 Front Mod Question
Hello,
I am a new member here, just purchased a 2011 LS460L, Obsidian with Parchment interior. I like the looks of the car but wondered if it is possible to have an F-Sport front end fitted to a 2011. From what I can gather, the F-Sport series was introduced in 2013? My initial thoughts are that there has got to be a hang up somewhere that would stop this from being possible. I have looked at kits but from what I have found the kits are either too subtle for me or too extreme.

The only hangup is money. The front end is a direct swap from what I understand. You'll need the front bumper, headlights, front fenders and hood. You'll also need the fender liners and all associated bolts,clips, and supports.
A couple shops in japan have already done the conversion.
I'm with you on some front bumpers are to subtle or extreme. I really like how aimgain has incorporated the new Lexus hourglass front grille into their front bumpers for the scion and Toyota Prius. Wish they would do the same for the 2007-09 or 2009-2012 LS460's

or for a more simple mod, just put in the "sport" grill with the black wire mesh, as opposed to doing the full "f-sport" mod. . .
btw, where are you and is150 in ohio?

I'm really a big fan of the whole front end look of the new LS460, the somewhat hour glass figure, the new style was just a tad out of the budget unfortunately.
I'm in the Toledo area.

Here is a place to see what is available http://autostyle-usa.com I wouldn't necessarily order from there though. There is also the official 4LS modification thread here in this forum.

Being a newbie, I guess I didn't realize that most decent kits start around $3k and go up from there. Any idea what it would cost to have something like that done? It really does look nice from the pic posted!
