For 13+ models, the grill can't be swapped between the F Sport and the regular without also replacing the whole front bumper. I do agree the front end of the F Sport looks better.

Feel free to post the seller, as long as you're not the seller its a-okay
oh ok great. It's Bell Lexus, guys name is Joe. Tell him the guy from FL referred you.

I think that sport grille looks great on your car. Nicely done!

Agreed...

I may be in the minority but I like the smaller grill treatment of the '10-'12s...

Grille looks awesome, have always liked the way it gives the car a different look. That plus the 5 star rims = perfection. And I think $350 is a reasonable price given how much it changes the car. Nice work

Thanks guys! I'm young so I was trying to find ways to make the car look a little more sporty/ youthful while still maintaining the classic LS460 look. Once I got my new wheels (pictured below) I figured the black grill would tie it in nicely. I appreciate the feedback negative or positive, I don't mind at all. We all have unique styles and opinions, I'm cool with that.

Also, I do agree the 5 star rims looked great, but since there are 50 LS460's in my neighborhood alone, I didn't want the same rims as many of them have. I ended up selling those to my neighbor and finding the ones that are on the car now on craigslist for a steal.

Like the grill. Much improved over the standard version. Hate to be a stick-in-the-mud but I'd lose the side F Sport emblems.

Yea, I've thought about it. I am just nervous to take them off because I am not sure what is under them. They were on the car when I got it. I looked up replacement emblems and the OEM ones hava tab on the back from what I could see. So, there may be a hole behind each one for the tab that I don't want to spend the money to fill...

That would surprise me. The rear trunk emblem is stick-on only. You could always stick it back on.

Won't be a tab because those emblems did not come on the car from the factory, they were added by the previous owner. I'm sure they did not drill a hole...

The F Sport emblems started coming on the car in 2013.

Although I agree I do so with reservation. Had Lexus coupled that F-sport emblem with a TRD 5.7 (rev-limiter sold seperately) every LS between Alaska & Labrador would have an F nailed to the fender
