That's a 600 bumper accompanying that grille, if you look at the "strip" between the grille and headlamps, the opening below the front license plate (more "rectangular") and the fog lights (which are also different). Subtle differences that I can't figure out, but they're there. At least the headlights are the same size and can accommodate the different bumper (mod could be a heck of a lot more $$$!).

It was about 60% more $ to wrap my bumper because there was no standard kit, and this is how the shop I use and I first "discovered" the differences. And the fog lights; I had never even imagined they would be different!
At least OP won't need to shell out for LED headlights

More thanks!
I hear you; the differences are so subtle though... I can't figure out the "why" on Lexus' part, especially since I think (not sure) bumpers for 460/600 were the same for 2008-09.

The sport grill is sharp too. Maybe the $5 plastidip is a good way to test the sport look
Thanks again you all.

My final choice
Thanks tee and trianglev for the photos. I do like the whole 600h front end but don't want to pay for it! I did call the CA rep for Wald and their 600h looking grill is plastic, primer black, and over $500. Hmmm.

Well I decided to do the matte black plastic spray by rust oleum. It looks pretty darn good if you ask me. I just taped off the area and sprayed it in place. $9 and 1 hour labor. Not bad.

Hey jimkrantz,
I went with that black painted look on my grill also, but can I ask why you went with the rustoleum instead of the plasti-dip? I was looking at both before I settled with the plasti-dip.
Thanks.
